Poor Coaching Decisions: Pitt Coach Narduzzi opting for a FG attempt on 4th and goal from the 1 down a TD late in the 4th quarter. Sparty Coach Dantonio appearing to vacillate on what to do on a 3rd down play with 11 seconds left. Resulting in rushing his FG team onto he field resulting in a too many men on the field penalty. FSU not spiking the ball down a TD with seconds left instead attempted to run a hurried play resulting in a clock ending penalty.

In an era of Air Raid and like, the Michigan State v. Arizona State slug fest was something to behold. For many that game would have cured insomnia.

Iowa State fans deserve a lot of credit. The fans stayed through two weather delays resulting in over 2 hours of delays.

Bad Beat of the Week: One would feel pretty good with 33 seconds remaining if one had the Under 45.5 total for Florida v. Kentucky with score at 22 to 21 and the Gators have the ball. Well a Gator RB goes on a 76 yard run. The RB should have simply dropped to the ground once he had the first down as that would have clinched a Gator win.

Considering how bad the ACC is, if for some reason Clemson loses that might be enough to deny them a playoff spot.

The Hawkeyes escaped by one point from Ames even with two rain delays.
The game got underway at 3 pm. Finished around 9...

And the young man that cuts my grass had a heck of a game.

USC blew it by not hiring the popular coach O, who now has his Tigers ranked at #4. The knock against coach O was that he did not have SC tradition. Read that as saying he sounded like a dumb hick.

They did not want to put that country boy in front of the mic as the voice of SC football. But the players loved him it was the Cardinal and Gold 50 yardliners who didn’t and they pay the bills.

Poor situational awareness. That's on the coaches, they need to tell the players not to score in that situation.
