Saturday early game notes

As I was at the Ohio State game, I missed some of the early games, but here's some thoughts:

- Why is Urban Meyer playing Tim Tebow up by 24 points with 3 minutes left in the Tennessee game? This is utter stupidity and arrogance. They're lucky UT had packed up its bags midway through the second quarter or somebody is going to take a cheap shot at Tebow. And while I don't think Tebow deserves it, I'm starting to wonder if UF does.

- Javon Ringer had another huge day for Michigan State with 201 yards in the win over Notre Dame. Which is great until you realize it was on 39 carries. Well, sure, that's not that bad except it comes after last week's 43 FREAKING CARRIES. Mark D'Antonio is going to Mike Hart this kid into the ground. Ringer is nails, but that's a lot of carries for anybody much less a small back.

- Terrelle Pryor is now the unquestioned starter for Ohio State and looked pretty decent against a Troy team that's better than people think. the Buckeyes still have problems, though, starting with a shocking lack of playing speed. They just don't seem excited about playing football.

- Will Pitt's last-minute win over Iowa spark the Panthers to become the team people thought they would be this year?

- Boise State has a freshman quarterback who threw for nearly 400 yards AT Oregon. Watch out for the Broncos who play nobody until they face Fresno State at the end of the year.
