College Football Recap

JT Daniels not quite as sharp against SC, but good enough. Looks like he has some NFL "experts" fooled. He's good, but was I the only one to see numerous balls underthrown in both games? Still, in Athens everyone is sporting the JT Daniels part down the middle haircut - even the girls. Starting to look a little like David Brenner.


Running game was back. UGA ended the game with a 9 minute drive, electing to run out the clock instead of scoring another TD. Seemed like every call and bounce went the Gamecocks way, but it didn't help. Dawg defense still gave up a ton of yards, bending but not breaking. SC converted on 3rd & 4th down at will, despite missing four key players and starting a freshman QB.


Tech beat Duke. Evidently this was such a big deal that they carried their coach off the field. And why is it on social media only 10% of the game photos are the players playing football, but 90% of the photos are players celebrating?

Trevor Lawrence took back the Heisman lead, passing for over 400 yards and rushing for a few as well. Lawrence makes the game look easy, playing at a much higher level than most other players. Though Trevor has another season of eligibility remaining, he graduates next month. He ran down the field alone, ahead of the team, and was honored with the seniors - the first class in Clemson history to go undefeated at home all four years. Senior Will Swinney, Dabo's son, did not run down the hill with the seniors, instead opting to return next season to play out his last season of egibility. Will's brother broke his collarbone this week during practice.
Vandy lost their offense vs Mizzou. Their new kicker didn't get to score, and only kicked off once. Next week the Commodores travel to Athens.

Michigan State usually wears good looking uniforms. Not this week. Northwestern wore their sweet striped jerseys.

With 30 seconds remaining in the first half Florida trailed Kentucky 10-7. Then the Wildcats gave up a punt return TD, and that was all she wrote.

0-5 Penn State looked good against lowly Michigan. Ohio State's game against powerhouse Illinois was cancelled, ending the Heisman hopes of Justin Fields.

Bama rolled against Auburn, without Saban on the sidelines. Bama looks hard to beat.

#2 Notre Dame struggled to beat lowly UNC.

Denver Broncos are without all four QB's Sunday against the Saints.
