Sorry to all of my followers out there that i did not do my predictions for the week. It was a really busy week and i was not able to do anything "extra" besides mainly school work. So with that said lets talk about this past weekend in the world of college football.
What was suppose to be the game of the week turned out to be just another dominating victory. The University of Alabama and University of Florida match-up usually brings an intensity unlike any other, on Saturday it looked like Florida left theirs in Gainesville. Alabama looked like it was ready for the game. They came out and drove the ball down the field and might have only gotten a field goal but they set the tone early. The turning point of the game had to be when Trey Burtons jump pass was picked off by Nico Johnson on 4th and goal. Head Coach Urban Meyer did the right thing to go for the touchdown there cause if it was an incomplete pass Alabama would have gotten the ball on their own two or a completion and Florida would be leading 7-3. As we all know that did not happen and Alabama kept that momentum throughout the whole and completely showed Florida once again that they are the team to beat in the SEC.
Les Miles is the luckiest, the most hated, and overrated coach in the nation. LSU should have lost the game yesterday against Tennessee but head ref Marc Curls was there to save him. The penalized Tennessee for have 13 men on the field on what was thought to be the last play of the game after LSU's center snapped the ball over the head of Jordan Jefferson with two seconds left. They got the call right in penalizing Tennessee but LSU was clearly not set for a second and on top of that after the snap LSU players took their helmets off and threw them on the ground which should have been a 15 yard penalty since the game technically was not over. So with another chance to run it in for winning score LSU does so and Derek Dooley gets screwed out of his first SEC win. This game also showed that Tennessee is not as bad as everyone thought they would be and that LSU well they are LSU the most overrated team in the SEC. There is no way they should be a top ten team in the nation or a top twenty team for that matter.
Who is the best running quarterback in the nation? Some would say Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor and others would argue Auburn's Cam Newton. While both would have good arguments but there stats or heart does not compare to Michigan's Denard Robinson. Michigan would not be undefeated if it were not for Robinson and his stellar play. Yesterday he had 5 total touchdowns complemented by 277 yards passing and 217 yards rushing in the Wolverines win over Indiana 42-35. To say that it is the Denard Robinson show would be an understatement. On the season he has 7 passing touchdowns with 8 rushing touchdowns and has thrown for over a thousand yards and has rushed for over nine hundred yards this season thus far. Robinson is clearly the front runner for the Heisman trophy at almost the half-way point of the season. If he continue to put these type of numbers up and Michigan can keep winning football games there is no reason to think why he would not be hoisting up the Heisman at seasons end.
Heres a couple of games for next week that you should look out for...Michigan vs Michigan State, Alabama vs South Carolina, Florida vs LSU, and Stanford vs USC.
I totally agree with the paragraph about LSU! How can a team who struggles to handle a mediocre team like Tennessee be in the number 12 ranking?! Tennessee should be proud of their performance and feel seriously robbed by at poorly called and mismanaged game. Why is Les Miles still at LSU again?
