Dustin Hopkins nailed a 55 yard walk off FG to beat Clemson late last night. How nice it was to have the Noles win one with a kicker for a change. It also helped going to bed after suffering through the Gator beat down by South Carolina. Where are you Tim Tebow???
Georgia Southern won again, on a big roll just in time for post season selection, and Nate's prep team Starr's Mill is still undefeated after the 1st round of playoff in the Peach state.
The high school playoffs start this week in Florida. Round one match ups can be lopsided but sometimes there are some gems out there for me to witness.
Back to the pain that is UF football right now. Marcus Lattimore torched the Swamp and the Gator D for 212 yards! South Carolina just pounded and ground out a physical smash mouth statement to win the East. Florida's defense is being asked to stay on the field too much and they are playing a lot of very young kids on defense. No such excuses for the soap opera on offense. Horrible play calling. No consistent identity. One week they are a running team, the next all passing. People pick on Brantley, but he has no protection and shares snaps with two other QB's. Some plays the leave Brantley in the game and just "waste" him out at receiver. Terrible idea, because you play 10 against 11 and foot absolutely NOBODY. Urban has won 2 national championships down in Gainesville, so he is no dummy. His coaching prowess and success, at least a good chunk of it may reside in Starkeville, Mississippi now...I don't get a vote, but I very much prefer a pro style offense. It allows you to come from behind if you find yourself in that situation, but more importantly it allows you to recruit pro style and caliber players. I really like what Stanford has done under Harbaugh.
FSU is oh so close to being 9-1 instead of 7-3. They have to beat Maryland on Saturday night, and hope that NC State loses to either Carolina or Maryland, IF they want to play in the ACC championship game, most likely against Va Tech.
The Dolphins lost both Chad QB's for the season today. Both! The Cowboys whipped the Giants in their first game under Jason Garrett.
The UFL is a bad idea and I LOVE football.
Colorado won big under their new/interrim coach.
Crestview plays Pine Forest Friday night and watch out for Navarre against Niceville. I am looking forward to a rematch in round 2 between Apopka and Dr Philips in 6A.
Cal gave Oregon all they wanted, and TCU survived San Diego State. The Big 10 is way over rated. Bedlam - the rivalry game between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State should decide the Big 12 North. The ACC and the Big East should donate their automatic BCS bids to TCU and Boise State this year.
UCF was ranked in the top 25 for the first time last week and promptly lost to Souther Miss at home on Saturday...bummer.
see ya.
