More Knee-Jerk Reactions

Some late knee-jerk reactions from this afternoon's games in the world of college football...

What is wrong with Louisville? There is no D in Louisville, as they once again gave up a boatload of points. This time, it was to the previously winless and hapless Syracuse Orange, as the Cuse shocked the Cardinals, 38-35 at the Pizza Box in Louisville. The Ville has gone from a contender to a pretender in the space of two weeks.

For the ninth year in a row, the Michigan Wolverines defeated Penn State, 14-9. Michigan has started their Big Ten season off on the right foot. However, the embarrassment of losing to Appalachian State still lingers.

The chain reaction of college football continues, in a psycho kind of way. Appalachian State, conquerors of Michigan, lost to the Wofford Terriers today, 42-31. Wofford is the second smallest school in Division I, and is the smallest Division I school playing football. Wofford has around 1,200 students. Anyone want to see Wofford travel to Michigan for a date with the Wolverines?

I predicted that the Nebraska-Ball State game would be closer than it needed to be. I had no idea that Ball State would lead into the 4th quarter. The Cardinals missed a game-winning field goal attempt at the end of the game. This would have been a stunning upset in Huskerland.

That's it for now....
