Ferringo School Report: Joe Pa Takes A Tumble

Pretty nondescript weekend in faculty football, eh? Thursday doesn’t rely towards the weekend, lads. Yeah, the Massive East may have been decided, the Large {Two} had minor scares, and a few outdated man got mugged on the Penn State sideline. Oh, wait. That was Joe Pa. My bad. But I'll say that needed to be probably the most unintentionally funny second involving a senior citizen and a collision since Bob Dole lost his battle with gravity in California in 1996.

Granted, it was nice to see a soccer player in Tennessee not named “Pac Man” getting arrested for a bar battle, and it’s at all times nice when Butch Davis is abruptly not the man who spent 4 years sucking his thumb within the fetal position in Cleveland, however Week 10 still appeared like it was lacking something. And it wasn’t Jean-Luc Picard.

I don’t know. While you find it, let me know. In the meantime, listed here are a couple of leftover ideas from the World of Faculty Soccer:

- Memo to Bob Ryan: Georgia isn’t the only team in the South that performs “between the hedges”. Auburn comes to mind. The whole concept of his story was to assemble insight into why those Easy Southerners love faculty football. As a substitute, he made himself appear like and asshole. Good show.

- Florida managed to hold off a game Vanderbilt membership, but they lost DT Marcus Thomas for the rest of the year. Thomas, who was just lately noticed with Puff The Magic Dragon, is believed to have failed a drug test. What is this world coming to when college children are doing medicine?

- Memo to Chase Daniels: There are cameras on you. A lot of them. The truth is, ESPN is barely barely much less intrusive than the National Security Company and a proctologist. For these of you that don’t know, the Missouri quarterback was caught on the Worldwide Chief choosing his nose and consuming it. Yup. It’s as unhealthy as it sounds.

- Great weekend for the Bluegrass State. First, Louisville downed West Virginia in an impressive and thrilling recreation on Thursday. Subsequent, Kentucky surprised staggering Georgia on Saturday. Good times, and I’m sure loads of moonshine was imbibed all through the ordeal.

Nevertheless, I’m nonetheless undecided that the perfect crew gained that WVU-Louisville game. I’m not taking something away from the Cards. They’re an impressive team. Actually top-notch. But they have been taking part in at residence, befitted from six fumbles (three recovered), and managed each a particular teams and defensive touchdown. That stuff is a little bit fluky to me.

I nonetheless maintain to the declare that Louisville is not going to go undefeated. I said it final week, and I’ll say it again.

- It’s a superb thing LSU gained that sport as a result of they bought screwed – AGAIN – by the officials. That ball CLEARLY touched a Tennessee blocker in the second quarter though replay upheld the ruling as a touchback. As an alternative of being up 14-zero and on the way to a blowout, they made me sweat out a stirring fourth-quarter comeback.

Oh, and DT Glenn Dorsey is a friggin’ man-imal.

- Bizarre, Notre Dame didn’t cowl again.

And if Brady Quinn wins the Heisman, I’ll puke. I know that no one wants to win the award this 12 months, however there’s no means he gets it over Mike Hart. And yes, I know Troy Smith will win it, however my vote goes to Hart. That man is carrying the Wolverines.

- Do you assume Iowa State missed Stevie Hicks? Be aware to self: all the time bet in opposition to a crew that simply lost its senior chief and finest offensive player.

- How a couple of round of applause for Buffalo. The Bulls shook off the fact that they’re in Upstate New York in November, and that forty one-0 drubbing at B.C., to hammer visiting Kent State 41-14 as sixteen-point dogs. It must appear to be perpetually ago that the Golden Flashes had been the Cinderella group atop the MAC.

- Kudos to the Houston defense. All the focus heading into their showdown with Tulsa was on the Hurricane secondary in opposition to Kevin Kolb. Nevertheless it was the Cougars protection that basically made the difference by holding Tulsa to a mere 10 points.

Along those self same lines, you needed to be impressed by San Jose State shutting out New Mexico State within the second half on Saturday. Say what you will about how unhealthy the Aggies are, they had been taking part in at home and have been completely locked down by a Spartans defense on a mission.

- A lot for a letdown from Oregon State. Good go. They’ve been hopped up on adrenaline, amphetamines and anger for two weeks now and absolutely destroyed the completely befuddled Arizona State squad. The Beavers are instantly No. 24 in the BCS rankings after their fourth straight win.

And poor Stanford. Can you think about what it must’ve been like at those practices final week? It must have felt something like Nagasaki on Aug. 10, right after those U.S. warning leaflets rained down over them and in the future earlier than The Rapture rained down over them.

- My hated rival, Bob Stoops, had one other nice weekend. No, the Sooners didn’t cover. But they did rating their second straight impressive Big 10 road win by topping Texas A&M. Stoops showed a variety of stones going for it on fourth-and-1, from his personal 29-yard line, with less than {two} minutes to go in a one-point game. Perhaps it’s luck. Or possibly he’s that good. I’ll let you decide.

- These are some big stones that Stoops showed, however how about Houston’s Nutts? The Arkansas skipper also made a bold maneuver when he yanked golden boy Mitch Mustain after one move – ONE PASS – towards South Carolina. Sure, that cross was intercepted. But now Nutt has opened the Pandora’s Box of a quarterback controversy. Sophomore Casey Dick played effectively, and has been named the starter, but this is a superb line that Nutt is walking. It’s a bet – and you already know we respect that round here.
