At the Big House in Michigan the Wolverines won in a comeback against the Indiana Hoosiers 36-33. They outscored them 15-7 in the 4th to win. My boy, my rook I told yall to look out for Tate Forcier took it over in that qt after being benched in the 2nd qt. Tate took had a 7 yd TD run and ran in the 2pt convo to give the team a 29-26 lead with 9:15 left. Following an Indiana 85 yd TD run by Darius Willis that put them back up Tate led the team down and threw the game winner, a 26 yd TD pass.
My Hurricanes loss to a great Virginia Tech team at their place 31-7. VT (formerly known as Vicks Team) simply dominated the line of scrimage on both ends in a rainy messy nasty game (the weather of great football). Tyrod Taylor only had to throw 9 times completing only 4 for 98 yds and a TD, he also ran for 75 yds on 10 carries. The game was controlled by RB Ryan Williams who had 150 yds 2 TDs on 34 carries. JaCory Harris who up until this game was playing like the best QB in the country and under serious consideration for the Heisman early on was only 9/25 for 150 yds and an int.
In the major upset of the weekend #6 Cal lost to unranked Oregon big time 42-3!!! The Ducks shut down Jahvin Best the best RB in the nation and the only none QB in the early season running for the Heisman holding him to 55 yds on 16 carries. His counterpart LaMichael James the Oregon RB had another big day trying to show theres more than just one bigtime RB in the Pac10. He had 118 yds on 21 carries and a TD. The Oregon QB Jeremiah Masoli completed 21-25 for 253 yds and 3 TDs.
In other upset news Iowa defeated Penn St in Happy Valley 21-10. Penn St QB Daryll Clark threw 3 ints in the lost. This is just another Penn St upset at the hands to the Iowa Hawkeyes. It seems when these two get together the story of the game is Iowa hangs on in an ugly way all game long then at the end find a way to win. PSU was up 10-0 early then Iowa made it 10-5 by halftime. After noone scored in the 3rd qt the Hawkeyes outscored PSU 16-0 for the victory.
In a game that we all thought would have over 1,000 total yds and 100 total points Houston beat Texas Tech only 29-28. Tech was up 21-13 at the half. Houston closed the gap going into the 4th 28-23 and scored the 6 pts of the 4th to win it with :49 left. They went for 2 and failed. The 4th although having the least points was no doubt the most exciting part of the game with the great defense between these two teams who are only known for their offense. Case Keenum the Houston QB threw for 435 yds on 38/58 with 1 TD and 1 int and he ran the 4 yd game winning TD also. RB Charles Sims was the leading WR with 10 cat for 122 yds. James Cleveland caught the only TD pass in the 1st qt. TTU QB Taylor Potts was 30/45 for 321 yds and a TD his 2nd impressive performance after his game last week vs Texas. Baron Batch had 19 carries for 114 yds and 2 TDs in the pass heavy offense.
Also in Flordias 41-7 win over Kentucky Tim Tebow was knocked out of the game in the 3rd qt after the team already had a 31-7 lead. It was 31-0 at the end of the 1st. Tebow was hit hard but legally on a sack from Kentucky DE Taylor Wyndham and as he was falling back the back of his head hit one of his teammates legs, Marcus Gilbert and it bent his neck in an akward way. He was carted off the field and after test and being rushed to the hospital it was determined he had a concussion. His status is uncertain when the Gators return from their bye week this week.
Baylor lost their star QB Robert Griffin in their record setting win over Northwestern St 68-13. That is the most points the team has ever scored but it came at a price as Griffin tore his ACL in the 1st qt. He continued to play the rest of the 1st half as he felt he only hyperextended the right knee. He played well in leading the Bears in his time with the score 41-10 at halftime. Robert was 13-19 for 226 yds and 3 TDs. ROb wants to believe he could return at some point this season saying he can play on it again seeing that he played nearly the entire half on it. But in no way is that a smart decision with the explosive way he plays. Yeah that drop back and throw from the pocket stuff worked against this pushover team but he still cant throw and will need his legs in Big12 play. Sorry for all you Bears fans who thought this was finally the year us Waco boys could go Bowling. My boy Jarred Salubi from my high school Waco High (he was a freshman my senior year 2005) got his shine on with the starter Jay Finley out he had 131 yds on 7 carries including a 76 yd TD. Do ya thing boy! Hold it down!
