college football in review: week three [3]

notre dame at michigan

notre dame : the fighting irish could not do a thing against the wolverines. jimmy clausen didn't play like the greatest notre dame quarterback that some are projecting him to be. then again, he is only nineteen years old. when i was nineteen, i thought dvd's were just a fad. the rest of the team also played awful. the only good news for notre dame that i took from the game: charlie weis looks skinnier.

michigan : this win doesn't take lloyd carr off the hot seat. he still should be fired after this season. beating the irish at home would have been like beating appalachian state. and is chad henne rooting for or against ryan mallett to do well? because he looked good enough to be the starter even when henne comes back.

[#22] tennessee at [#5] florida

tennessee : the volunteers were unable to do anything against the gators when it mattered. this was a complete mismatch.

florida : it doesn't look like the gators have lost much from last year's national championship team. tim tebow continued his evolution as the white michael vick with this game. and after watching this game, i don't think there is a team with more speed than this one.

[#16] arkansas at alabama

arkansas : darren mcfadden is the best college football player this year. whenever he enters the draft, he will be the number one overall pick [unless something dumb happens]. though i didn't think arkansas should've been dropped from the polls since they barely lost to a now top-25 team, especially when louisville lost to a then unranked kentucky team.

alabama : what a great finish to this game. i suppose saban is worth all of the money that they are giving him, although people were saying the same thing about charlie weis just two years ago. by the way, my favorite nick saban nickname is 'o-saban been lying.'

[#9] louisville at kentucky

louisville : i think bobby petrino and the louisville fan base both wish that he was still the coach for the cardinals. as for heisman hopeful brian brohm, he played well, but it wasn't enough to overcome a shoddy defense.

kentucky : in andre woodson the wildcats might have the best nfl ready quarterback in college football [better than both brohm and brennan]. he is the primary reason as to why kentucky pulled off the upset in what was a truly exciting football game. i look forward to seeing what else kentucky can do this season.

[#1] usc at [#14] nebraska

usc : after the last week's [which will probably be a year long one] debate of lsu being number one, i think people slept on the fact that usc has a dominate football team. as the game was being played, everyone realized two things: [1] usc has an unlimited supply of running backs and [2] nebraska had no chance on defense. usc has too much depth at skill positions which they will use to wear down any defense.

nebraska : i actually thought nebraska had a legitimate chance to beat the trojans. they were playing at home and they have a fairly good team. instead, they got beat down. i should've remembered that bill callahan was the coach.
