(Sorry, I gotta start with the Michigan/Appy State game)
*When Appalachian State’ Cory Lynch blocked Michigan’s desperation field goal in the waning minutes of the game, he ran it back to the 5 yard line, then celebrated wildly on the side lines, teammates piling on in victory. The refs, doing what they are SUPPOSED to do, threw a flag for excessive celebration. Let me just say this. Since this is now the greatest upset in college football history, there COULDN’T have been excessive celebration. The 15 yards they lost to run out the clock was meaningless. Since this is an arbitrary penalty anyway, couldn’t the refs just have gotten together and proclaimed, “There is no penalty, we’re going to let the Mountaineers revel in the fact that a I-AA beat the #5 team in the country in their own house”
*Dawgs 35-Pokes 14. It’s not that Stafford had 235 yards passing that excited me. It’s the fact that he threw to 9 different receivers. And it looks like he’s learned that taking a sack is not the end of the world.
*I’m still concerned about our kick offs. All day I watched team after team kick the ball right to the goal line, yet Coutu was putting them between the five and ten yard lines. I KNOW he’s got a stronger leg than THAT.
*Got Southerland? We do. And Shaun Chapas, too.
*If you’re wondering why the 13th ranked team in the country didn’t get a lick of press coverage yesterday, and why ESPN felt the need not to switch over from the painful sight that was Illinois vs Missouri, it’s because we’re not flashy. Coach Richt has not been flashy since he left Florida State. Once the Dawgs are ahead, Richt simply runs the ball to eat away the clock, whereas a team like the Gators will keep running up the score.
*Something tells me the “flashy factor is about to change. College football, meet Knowshon Moreno. You two will get along great.
*Uh, I thought we were going to see Joe Cox?
*How awesome was it to watch WR Mohamed Massaquoi tackle someone like that on their botched punt?
Non-Dawg:
*Is there any doubt left that Notre Dame is the most overrated program of the last 5 years?
*Is it just me or was the score of the Auburn/Kansas State game a little closer than it should have been? Same for Texas and Arkansas State.
* I am changing my original prediction that Virginia Tech will beat LSU on Saturday. As long as Sean Glennon is their QB, that offense is mediocre.
*Dear Mr. Vol fan. There is blood in the water and the sharks are on their way.
