College Football Week 2

So I don't just talk about serious stuff like politics. I'm really trying to get back into the swing of things in football this year, both college and the NFL.

After spending time in Florida, I was impressed with the Gator nation, so I now pull for them as my top team. I also keep tabs on BYU and Utah, the local favorites. So most of my comments will be confined to those teams.

Well, what can you say about Florida? They destroyed Troy 56-6. No biggie. Just a tune up for Tebow and Co.

I was really impressed with BYU again, I saw most of this game. BYU moved the ball pretty much at will, though Tulane managed to keep them out of the endzone for a lot of the first half. The Cougars righted the ship in the second half. Good game. An inferior opponent for sure, but still a non-conference win on the road.

Utah did NOT take care of business against San Jose State. Sure, SJSU is probably better than people give them credit for, and it was a road game, but two costly turnovers and what, two missed field goals? Last year the kicking game won close games for the Utes. This year, it might cost them a close game if t hey don't remedy it. I think Utes fans have a reason to wonder if they can beat TCU or BYU at this point.

On a side note, how did Weber screw themselves out of the biggest win in school history? Grr....

Also Mike, Clint, and I caught the end of the Notre Dame/Michigan game at work. What a finish! I hate Notre Dame.

I also took in quite a bit of Central Michigan/Michigan State. Good game, good finish, and a minor upset, though I do think Central is a good team. When does Michigan State do ANYTHING except underachieve?

Next up for Utah is Oregon. BSU took care of them last week, but they hung on to take out a Big Ten team in Purdue this week, so the Utes will have to play better than they did this week.

BYU gets Florida State at home next week, The Seminoles tuned up a bit this week against Jville State. They're an athletic team thatshould give BYU a nice test.

Next up for the Gators is an SEC clash with Tennessee, who lost to UCLA this week. A better test for Florida than Troy, but a game the Gators should win at home in the swamp.

Tomorrow starts the NFL!
