Week 1 Results

I went 9-2 in my predictions. I would brag, but most of the games were no contests.

Florida vs. Western Kentucky – “Tebow won't be tested and I'm sure he won't play a down in the second half.”
UF 49-3: I was pretty close on this one. Had the thunderstorm not rolled in, It could have ended 56 – 3. Tebow proved that he is the real deal…against a crappy team. He won’t really be tested until their third game against UT.

South Carolina vs. Louisiana Laffayette “I have a hunch that Smelley will do fine.”
USC 28-14: By the numbers, it looks like he did alright. However, Beecher did better. USC allowed over 300 yards on the ground…not good.

Tennessee at California“Wearing panties is more accepted in LA, so Ainge will feel more relaxed.”
Cal 35-14: I never thought Cal could drag UT into a PAC-10 shootout. Ainge did seem to be more relaxed than in the past connecting 32 out of 47 passes.

Kentucky vs. E. Kentucky - Shats 34 - Sanders' Brigade 0
UK 50-10: Woodson had some good numbers, but it was against a high school team.

Georgia vs. Oklahoma State“UGA will fall this weekend.”
UGA 35-14: This is my biggest blunder of the weekend. UGA looked like one of the best prepared teams in the SEC this weekend. However, Georgia fans need to worry about their run defense. Take away the sacks, and OSU’s YPR goes up a good bit.

Vanderbilt vs. Richmond“…a very rare occurrence will take place Saturday...Vandy will be undefeated!”
Vandy 41-17: It won’t last long. Richmond put up 306 yards on offense, and they’re no Bama.

LSU at MSU“This is almost as bad as scheduling a 1-AA patsy for the first game.”
LSU 45-0: Appalachian State would have scored at least 50 on MSU. LSU looked sloppy. Their offensive line needs to start gelling or they could be in trouble.

Auburn vs. Kansas State“The fact that this is a night game, which is very key, at Jordan-Hare will be the difference.”
AU 23-13: Crowd noise really got to KSU’s young offensive line. Auburn looked like a solid 7-5 team. I’ll go into this game in more detail later.

Arkansas vs. Troy“…the Jones / McFadden combo is too much…”
Arkansas 46-26: McFadden had 6.3 yards per carry, and threw a TD pass. Jones had 10.8 yards a carry, and ran a kickoff return back for a TD. Them’s good players!

Alabama vs. Western Carolina“Saban beats an extremely underrated 1-AA team and solidifies himself as the second coming of the Bear.”
UA 52-6: Yep, Saban is bulletproof after this win. Just for giggles, Shula’s team beat Western Carolina 52-0. Bama was cruising in the third quarter with a decent lead, and JPW was still in the game. Shula was billed an idiot after doing that with Croyle.

Ole Miss at Memphis - Hotty-Toddlers 14 - Basketball 13
OM 23-21: Ole Miss was up 20-0 at half. What happened? I don’t know, but Memphis made it a game while piling on some yardage.
