CFB never fails to remind us that even the best predictors are not always correct. Four teams in the T25 fell this week, three of them to un-ranked teams. Ohio State tried to make a statement after losing last week by beating up on Kent State 66 - 0 (just stop it, Meyer). Virginia did make a statement with their win over #21 Louisville (remember they almost beat UCLA in week #1). Boston College made their presence known taking one from USC. SCAR stated that they are not the team we saw in week #1. And ECU plainly stated that they are not to be ignored.
BYU struggled getting to 3 - 0. Coming off the big win at Texas they were a little cocky and not quite as precise as the first two games. That caught up with them and they almost gave the game away. They take on Virginia this week who beat #21 Louisville.
The UGA and SCAR game did not disappoint. Twas a game of two young defenses, two well executed offenses, various questionable penalty calls, and close measurements. In the end, it came down to which defense was not the worst. SCAR held strong when it counted most and got the W. And once again, UGA is chasing SCAR and counting on them to lose. A tough slot to be in and one they've been in many times lately. But hang in there Dawg fans...a 3-point loss to a ranked division rival in their house won't count much down the home stretch.
Yes - the masses will second guess UGAs play calling in the final minutes. I will not. We don't know the ins and outs of what is going on in the heat of the battle. Doing just the opposite of what the opponents (and fans) expect works as often as it doesn't. UGA coaches took the risk and it didn't pay off this time. Hindsight would say feed it to Gurley, burn the clock and take the go ahead touchdown...even if it takes four tries with Gurley. But I'm sure when the call came in that it made sense at the time.
UCLA held on to yet another close win to stay un-defeated. But it was a W over struggling Texas. We'll see what they are really made of when they take on ASU.
Really? I've never seen THIS happen before.
