Early Games

What the??
- Cal's 35-27 loss to Maryland once again shows that it's very difficult for West teams to go East. The Terps had been awful the first two weeks and dominated this game until a late Cal run. Of course, they can also thank Jeff Tedford for a terrible decision. After scoring to make it a 15-point game with 7 minutes left, Tedford opted for the onside kick. Maryland recovered and scored less than a minute later. Cal still rallied but ran out of time.

- The Iowa-Iowa State game should be discontinued due to ugliness. (I mean ugly football, not ugly fan bases.)

- What?!?!? South Carolina plays during the day?!?!

- While other OSU fans get mad at Kirk Herbstreit for being what they consider a traitor and all other fans get mad at Herbie for being an OSU homer, I get mad for another reason. This is Herbie's offensive analysis of every game: "They must throw the ball to open up the running game."
Every. single. game. he says this. Or, if things are going well for a team, it's because they passed to set up the run. Sometimes listening to Herbstreit's analysis is like reading "Football for Dummies."

- Somehow, and I'm not sure how, being in a Big Ten market I get stuck with the Penn State-Syracuse massacre instead of Purdue-Oregon.

- Javon Ringer of MSU is a damn good running back. But they still have massive QB problems.
