Knots in Corvallis
Southern Cal was tripped up for the third time in four trips to Oregon State. Mike Riley just might be the guy who has Pete Carroll’s number.
Yes, the Beavers beat the Trojans on Thursday night, but the way they did is what should be most concerning for USC fans.
Oregon State came out ready to play and Southern Cal simply didn’t. The Beavers were not afraid, running the ball down the Trojans' throats with a freshman running back who was eager to talk smack to an All-American-abundant USC defense.
I’ll be the first to admit I was caught up in the West Coast frenzy that is “the men of Troy.”
What I was shocked about was all the talk about Mark Sanchez for Heisman. The guy is still unproven in my book, but then again the junior will get many opportunities to shine at USC.
Lincoln Logs
It’s going to take Bo Pelini a little bit longer to get the pieces together at Nebraska. The Cornhuskers had a costly personal foul penalty late in the fourth quarter that kept a Virginia Tech drive alive.
Still searching for the “black shirts” to make an appearance? The Big Red might want to check the back of a milk carton, because that defense has been missing in Lincoln for years now.
It was a good week for the ACC in non-conference play. Florida State was the second team in the conference to put a hurting on a Big 12 squad this week, as the Seminole manhandled the Buffs 39-21 in Tallahassee.
Might not have known, but...
With five weeks gone in the college football season, there is not an undefeated team left in two of the six BCS conferences: the ACC and the Pac-10.
