College Football

Hey, hey, hey how about those Falcons. Beating TCU last Thursday night, 20-17, coming behind in the 4th quarter with 2 TDs then winning it in overtime. What a big game (AF opened as a 7 point underdog which moved to 8 by gameday) and now we head back to Utah for a game against our nemesis, BYU. We first played BYU back in 1956 and since that lost we have gone 6-21 against them and have only managed a 2-10 record at BYU. The glory year that was 1985, AF went 12-1 and the only game they lost? Yup BYU. So an evenly matched set of teams over the last 7 years with big blow out wins and big scores. Don't think we will see that this weekend. Once again the Post picked them to lose 27 - 17 and I had this game as another loss. AF could be looking ahead to next weeks game against Navy. A win this weekend would help AF a long way to possibly winning a conference title. Unfortunately history says to me AF's luck will run out and they will lose 24 - 21.

Interesting games last weekend included...Citadel at Wisconsin (Citadel kept it close for a half). Tennessee at Florida (Why isn't Florida number 1, they haven't loss since winning the national championship??), and Notre Dame at Michigan (no tie, just a Michigan blow out).

Games of interest this weekend...Carolina at LSU (can Spurrier steal one?) and Michigan State at Notre Dame (12 1/2 favorites going into South Bend...Yikes!).
