College Football

Utah visits 3-0 (!) Air Force on Saturday. After last year's AF 20 - 12 win (first in 5 years) the Utes might be looking for a bit of revenge after being denied two chances of scoring from the 1 yard line at home last year. They certainly are coming in hot having scored 42 and 58 against UNLV and Utah St and going into the Big House and beating Michigan. Air Force played in front of 2,500 people last weekend. The game had been moved from Houston to SMU in Dallas. So the high school match up had AF beating Houston without completing a single pass! (7 attempts). Anyway I predicted another loss (after this game a 1-3 record?) and I think this might be the weekend. I think it will be a shoot out..35 - 17. But it is at home so maybe we can squeak one by (4-0 going into the Navy game would probably make us ranked?).

Last week's exciting games included (my opinion) had Wyoming beating North Dakota St (barely), Notre Dame winning, Vanderbilt beat Rice, and oh yeah USC wallowed the Buckeyes. This week's exciting games include Florida and Tenn (beat down of the Vols...), Massachusetts and Texas Tech (Mass has a football team?), and the religious battle of TCU and SMU.
