Dawgs weren't the only team to start slow. Bama took a long time to pull ahead, finally winning 17-3. Played 3 QBs. Michigan led Bowling Green 7-3 in the second quarter. Wake Forest trailed Old Dominion 24-7 in the third quarter, but came back to win.
FSU edged Boston College 31-29 thanks to a record 18 BC penalties. Noles wore white helmets and pants, with a plain garnet jersey. Contrasted nicely with BC's FSU-lookalike unis.

Texas finally took the lead 10-7 late in the second quarter.
Jackets only trailed Ole Miss 10-7 at the the half. Could've been 10-6. Tech had a chance to cut the lead to 17-10 but couldn't convert.

Dawgs not the only team with placekicking problems. Tech replaced their kicker, but the replacement had a field goal blocked (below). Clemson's true freshman kicker missed two in the first quarter.
Tigers up 34-0 at the half, and started the second half with Klubnik at QB. Like UGA QB Beck, Cade needs all the reps he can get.
Dawgs were a different team in the second half, shutting down SC. QB Rattler played his heart out but threw two late interceptions. Won 24-14 but it could've been 30-14.
Braves lose but Olson broke Andruw's franchise HR record. Friday Olson, the Braves Roberto Clemente Award nominee, wore 21 - the first Brave to wear the number since Warren Spahn. Three other Braves also wore 21 to honor Clemente.
ESPN's Herbstreit started the day in Boulder Colorado, then after GameDay ended after 12 eastern flew to Gainesville to call Tennessee at Florida. Deion and The Rock made appearances on GameDay.
Got in a decent day's work. Had to go down to help Uncle Lennie three times. This morning they had to take him to the hospital. Broken clavicle. But after getting some fluids in him, he was moving around better.
Ceil and Kelly had me busy throwing trash bags in the dumpster the rest of the day. Cleaned out the upstairs closets and made a little bit of a dent in the master closet. Just about got the huge dumpster filled up.
Finding a few more treasures. A painting of Ceil. She found lots of old ticket stubs, including some from the Olympics. An old sword. Old license plates, including one from 1981. Some yard tools. A Clemson Tiger Rag. Several pairs of new socks. A sweater. A wedding invitation for Ceil's grandfather. He married a girl who wanted her mother to live with them. When the groom refused, the bride left, taking her mother with her.
While helping Lennie out of the car and into the house, I noticed he had a huge bucket of golf balls, plus 4 or 5 boxes of new balls. About 20 years ago Lennie had built a par three hole behind his house.

Coming home tomorrow. Made some deals to sell several bobbleheads. Trading for a cool sweatshirt (above). These things are warm.
Anna was camping last night out in Colorado.
