More Knee-Jerk Reactions

I took advantage of ABC's scheduling of the World's Biggest Pillow Fight this afternoon and spent most of the day and night with my family. It was time well spent in more ways than one. Some things I noticed in the world of college football when I got home:

Notre Dame is absolutely atrocious. In three games, America's College Team has not scored an offensive touchdown. They helped Michigan save face today, as the Wolverines handed the Irish a 38-0 pasting.

The Texas Longhorns survived a hornet's nest today, as the opening opponent for Central Florida in the Knights' new on-campus stadium. The Longhorns got out with a 35-32 win. The Horns are already looking forward to their game with OU on October 6.

OU pounded Utah State, 54-3. The Sooners did not score in the 4th quarter. They are also looking forward to a game in Dallas on October 6 against Texas.

Things are well in Tuscaloosa tonight. The Alabama Crimson Tide led Arkansas, 31-10. The Razorbacks then made an incredible comeback, and even went ahead by a score of 38-31. The Tide bounced back for 10 more points, to win 41-38. The Sabanites can rest easy tonight.

Big Blue Nation is celebrating tonight. Kentucky won a wild affair with Louisville, defeating the 9th-ranked Cardinals, 40-34. I expected this to be a high-scoring game. The Ville needs to go find a defense.

Break up the Dukies! Duke ended a 22 game losing streak with a 20-14 win tonight at Northwestern.

USC is really good. Nebraska looks pretty mediocre tonight. The Big 12 North is up for grabs, as Nebraska is still quite a ways away from becoming the Nebraska of old. Missouri, Kansas State, and even Kansas have a chance to win the North this year.

Colorado still stinks, but not quite as bad as last year.

The Ville will get pounded by West Virginia. Well, I don't know about pounded, but definitely outscored.

I'll take what I can get.

What about some Rutgers talk?

Rutgers took it easy on Norfolk State, 59-0. I thought they'd hang at least 70 on those guys.

For what it's worth, they can beat the Ville, also.

But, watch out for the 'Nati. Cincinnati looks pretty stout.
