Well, it has been 3 days, and the loss to USC still stings. However, Utah played pretty well and was in position to take USC to overtime on the road. That's saying something about the team. It should be a bowl season, and possibly even a chance to play in the conference championship, depending on how other things go. I'm a lot less worried about the Arizona game, after watching their offensive line struggle all game against Oklahoma State. I'm not going to write a whole about this week, but here are some quick notes.
Weeden to Blackmon can be virtually unstoppable at times. See OSU's first three drives. Wow, it was impressive.
Arizona State WR Aaron Pflugrad is so exciting to watch. He's very explosive and just gets so excited about every play he makes.
Once again, Michigan QB Denard Robinson crushed Notre Dame. The final touchdown was scored with 2 seconds remaining and it was one of the most exciting finishes I've ever seen. Michigan is 2-0 and the next 4 games are vs Eastern Michigan, vs San Diego State, vs Minnesota, and at Northwestern. There's a chance Michigan starts 6-0.
Michigan State's defense is good. Sure, they played Florida Atlantic. But they got a shutout and only allowed 1 first down and 48 total yards.
Toledo is looking good. Their offense played extremely well against New Hampshire. This week they were on the verge of upsetting Ohio State but couldn't convert on 4th down. This week they get Boise State at home. There's potential for an upset there.
If you like ball control offense, check out Army. Against San Diego State, they had the ball for 42 minutes and outgained SDSU 446-292. But, they still lost.
Mississippi State ran 97 plays against Auburn. They gained 531 yards which is only about 5.5 yards per play. Auburn got a nice defensive stop at the end of the game to win by 7.
Oregon really bounced back from the tough loss against LSU. Against Nevada, they scored 4 second quarter TDs and were up 41-7 at the half. QB Darron Thomas threw 6 touchdown passes.
Washington State is leading the country in scoring and putting up impressive numbers against bad competition. But they're doing it without QB Jeff Tuel. This week they had 664 yards against UNLV. They have played bad teams, but easily won twice. It will be interesting to see where their season goes.
Memphis and Oregon State are surprisingly bad. Memphis got blown out by Arkansas State this week, 47-3. Oregon State lost to Sacramento State (Sac St was up 21-6 at the half, and the game went into OT).
Looking ahead to this week, I can't wait for #1 Oklahoma vs #5 Florida State!
