College Football Recap

Thought Tech looked great. Bennett looked ok, didn’t make many mistakes…no turnovers. If the offense can play like that, they should do well…with Virginia Tech and UGA at home and Miami the toughest road game. They appear to have a team that won’t play well some weeks and not show up other weeks…hopefully. Bennett just missed on several throws…Calvin would’ve made him look better.

I didn’t soak up the UGA game like I did the Tech game, but they looked ok as well. Caught some of the Cal/Tennessee game, and had to watch the end of the Auburn game to see if they could pull it out. Usually I’m not so into football. It was distracting that there were so many commercials and the games took so long.

Will and Ceil were fired up about the Clemson game. They looked good for a quarter, then decided to pass instead of rely on their great running game…even late in the game when they needed to run. Great idea to adopt the Arkansas direct-snap offense, even with one RB handing off to the other. But they quit using it! They didn’t need it in the second quarter, but they should’ve brought it back when FSU threatened late in the game. FSU looked terrible, as bad as last year. The defense jogged, and Weatherford held the ball too long…even late in the game when he needed to step up. They still came close to pulling it out. Clemson will probably be undefeated when they play at Tech.

Didn’t watch much Braves this weekend…didn’t realize yesterday was a day game. Saturday I was flipping back and forth between the Braves and the Tech game. Big day yesterday with SD winning, Clemens hurting, Ichiro homering, Pedro back, and the Saturday no-hitter. At ECPC the chunky catcher Andrew came in, and his mom the BoSox fan was raving about the no-hitter.

The Hurts, my old softball teammate whose daughters just started Living Science this year, are moving to Alpharetta this weekend from Mt. Vernon Road, near the Riverside 285 exit. Way up near Crabapple. David works near Bolton and Atlanta Road, so he’s going to have a long commute. They were involved at Buckhead Church, but we’ll see if they go to NP instead.
