Sunday?s List of 13: Wrapping up a college football Saturday
13) Auburn 28, Texas A&M 24? Talk about gagging a game away; with 7:14 left, A&M led 24-14 and had the ball on the Auburn 43. The ESPN TV guys were talking about running the ball and about clock management, taking time off the clock, but the Aggies threw an INT on the very next play. Not good.
Game completely swung on that play; Auburn had TD drives of 71-58 yards in the last 6:00 and pulled out a game that looked lost midway thru the 4th quarter.
12) West Virginia 42, Texas 41? This was a tremendous game, too bad Gus Johnson had the play-by-play and went into his hysterical act with both TD?s late in this game. He calls the action well, but if the game is close at the end, it always has to become about him and his screaming.
West Virginia trailed 41-34, but scored a TD with 0:16 left; Mountaineers went for 2 and the win? QB Will Grier ran it in for the two points.
I?ve said here before that I?m not a fan of going for two points in that situation, but Grier is a senior QB and coach Holgorsen trusted him to get the two points, and he did.
11) Georgia 34, Kentucky 17? Swift/Holyfield both ran the ball for 100+ yards as the Dawgs KO?d Kentucky and clinched the SEC East title- Georgia plays Auburn next week.
Kentucky RB Benny Snell Jr is very good; his dad was a RB for the Las Vegas Outlaws in the XFL in the one year that league existed. Snell?s granddad is cousins with Matt Snell, a terrific RB who helped the Jets win Super Bowl III.
10) South Carolina 48, Ole Miss 44? Teams played so little defense, it looked like they were auditioning to join the Big X. Ole Miss didn?t punt until midway thru the third quarter.
Rebels gained 616 yards but lost; Gamecocks averaged 11.3 yards/pass attempt and won.
9) Michigan State 24, Maryland 3? Terrapins? offensive line were the people who were upset about coach coach DJ Durkin being re-instated this week; they helped get him fired the next day, but the OL was useless in this game. Maryland ran 53 plays for a total of only 100 yards.
8) Central Florida 52, Temple 40? UCF is 8-0, but when you?re trailing Temple 34-28 at the half and the Owls get 35 first downs against you, you?re not going too impress the pollsters who may not want to be impressed in the first place.
7) Upsets of the Week:
? Illinois (+9.5) 55, Minnesota 31
? Pittsburgh (+7.5) 23, Virginia 13
? Baylor (+7.5) 35, Oklahoma State 31
? Tulane (+7.5) 41, South Florida 15
? UL-Monroe (+7) 44, Georgia Southern 25
? Texas State (+6) 40, Georgia State 31
? Missouri (+6) 38, Florida 17
6) Clemson 77, Louisville 16? Two years ago, Louisville was -2.5 at Clemson, but lost 42-36; they were +39 in this game and didn?t come close to covering. Even Dabo Swinney?s son scored a TD, his first-ever college touchdown. Clemson ran the ball for 492 yards, which is just total domination.
5) Ohio State 36, Nebraska 31? OSU fans are spoiled; Buckeyes trailed 21-16 at halftime, got booed off their home field- not much enthusiasm for a team that is now 8-1.
4) NC State 47, Florida State 28? Seminoles were 5-6 LY; they?re 4-5 this year. From 2012-16, FSU was 59-9; what the hell happened?
3) Purdue 38, Iowa 36? Boilermakers kicked a FG with 0:08 left to win the game after blowing a 35-23 fourth quarter lead. Iowa tried and failed on a pair of 2-point conversions earlier in second half, otherwise this might?ve been an overtime game.
Purdue has won five of its last six games after an 0-3 start.
2) Oklahoma 51, Texas Tech 46? Tech led 31-28 at halftime, but apparently their QB Bowman got drilled in the head with a football while warming up for the second half and went back to the locker room for evaluation- he didn?t play in the second half, or return to the sidelines.
1) Michigan 42, Penn State 7? Wolverines? defense is really good; in their last six games, Michigan has allowed 12.5 ppg, only 185.8 ypg. Notre Dame/SMU are only two teams that gained more than 300 yards against the Wolverines this season.
Penn State lost three of last five games; they?re 0-3 when scoring less than 30 points.
