I'd like to thank the Clemson Tigers for participating in the 2008 college football season. Wow.
Poor Tommy Bowden. How we loved to see your overrated Clemson Tigers out-toughed, out-witted and completely overmatched. 8 carries for James Davis and C.J. Spiller combined? Amazing. The performance of the Tigers on Saturday night in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta just proved another known, yet often-overlooked football axiom: you can have all the skill players in the world, but you're going to lose if you get dominated in the trenches. And 'Bama certainly did that from the outset. We'll see just how fast Nick Saban can get the Alabama program into the Top 10. I still say next year is the year, but the performance Saturday night was definitely a preview of what is yet to come in Tuscaloosa.
Poor Dave Wannstedt. It looked as though he finally was able to shed the monkey off his back after the exhilirating win over West Virginia to close out the 2007 campaign and knock the bitter rivals out of the national championship picture. And then Bowling Green came to town. The Panthers fell 27-17 to the MAC squad, making Wannie a shocking 5-13 in his last 18 games at Pittsburgh.
But at least he's not Mike Sherman, who lost his much-anticipated Texas A&M home debut to Arkansas State? Or Steve Kragthorpe, whose Louisville Cardinals scored 2 points against Kentucky.
By the way, has Missouri stopped scoring points yet?
In other notes, Mark Sanchez looked really good and really healthy in the Trojans' easy win over Virginia in Charlottesville...Beanie Wells left Ohio State's victory over Youngstown State with a right foot injury. making his status for the USC game in two weeks very questionable...Rich Rodriguez needs two years and Michigan will be the Ohio State of the Big Ten...Skip Holtz scored a huge win for the East Carolina program, notching a 27-22 victory over Virginia Tech. Holtz was able to beat Frank Beamer at his own game, as a blocked punt return gave the Pirates the lead late in the fourth quarter.
