  • College Football Week 2 recap

    Hello everybody sorry this article is late but I had a lot to do with the start of another NFL season so here is one of my favorite articles yet!

    UL Monroe at 8 Arkansas

    Oh-uh Razorback fans that have been living under a rock. When you’re up against a sun belt opponent and first up it’s not good. In the 1st half Arkansas Quarter Back Tyler Wilson was taking a beating he did not come back for the second half. it was 21-7 at the break. Then 55 seconds left ULM down 7 4th and 10 on the Arkansas twenty-nine and Browning drops back fires over the middle to Brent Leonard TOUCHDOWN! Arkansas fails to score so we go to overtime. Arkansas gets the ball first and settles for a field goal and we all know how dangerous that can be. now 4th&1 ball on the 17 its a 33 yard field goal you make it double OT but surprisingly enough they go for it and Browning runs it in and the Warhawks win it 34-31.

    Tyler Wilson did not play the 2nd half or Overtime, but I don’t think  that is what tilted the difference in ULM’s favor. What really tilted the balance was ULM was just playing more physical. All they have announced of his injury is it is above the shoulders.

    7 Georgia at Missouri

    This is the headline we were expecting just 1 question did any TA&MU 2nd half letdown players transfer to Mizzou? anyways the UGA’s of Georgia missed a extra-point and they are down  10-9 at the half. But the second half was Georgia’s half.It was over when Jarvis Jones intercepted James Franklin’s pass. Georgia scored on the next play for a 34-20 lead. Georgia out scores Mizzou 32-10 in the second half. Aaron Murray had 242 yards.Welcome to the SEC Mizzou.

    24 Florida at Texas A&M

    Welcome to the SEC gig’em. I thought you said no more second half letdowns… Well this game was close . Florida had never won a game under coach Will Muschamp after losing at halftime entering Saturday’s game versus Texas A&M.Looks as if things are going to be different this year. 10-7 gig’em at the break. But the gators will not let up. Early 4th 13-7 Aggies and Mike Gillislee Touchdown 12 yards and Florida wins it 20-17.

    Texas A&M breaks down in the second half again.

    Western Kentucky at 1 Alabama

    AJ McCarron 2 minutes in and he scores.A.J. has 4 TD’s and ‘bama wins it 35-0

    Washington at 3 LSU

     Kenny Hilliard dove into the end zone early in the third quarter to give the Tigers a 27-3 lead. 41-3 is the final.

     2 USC vs Syracuse

    Matt Barkley had 6 touchdowns through the air but cuse hangs in. USC won when the Orange’s onside kick failed. 42-29 Trojans.

    Fresno State at 4 Oregon

    This game was ducks from the start. Better uniforms, Better running backs, Better mascot push-ups, better everything. 42-25 is our final.

    Penn State at Virginia

    My underrated game of the week. I went to this game and let me tell you two things : it was loud and Sam Ficken was everybody’s favorite player. Early in the first Matt McGloin over the middle to Kyle Carter. Sam Ficken hits the extra-point. Later in the fourth cavs up 10-7, Allen Robinson! Diver! the extra-point is blocked by the cavs. so its 13-10 I’m cheering for the cavs getting nervous. Then 16-10 Penn State now minute-30 left and Rocco finds Tight End Jake McGhee 17-16 cavaliers. 1 second left Ficken lining up for a forty-two yarder so far he’s missed 3 ranging from 20-40 yards and then Kicks it wide left by 4 yards and the cav fans are litterally jumping onto the field to shake everybody’s hand.

    13 Wisconsin at Oregon State

    Sean Mannion to Brandon Cooks and Oregon State is up 10-0. Danny O’Brien to Jacob Pederson. Then later Kyle French’s onside kick… fails and Oregon State wins.

     16 Nebraska at UCLA

    Lets pick it up in the 4th 27-all Datone Jones saftey! Then 36-30 UCLA and Taylor Martinez is intercepted! 36-30 .

    Air Force at 19 Michigan

    Denard Robinson had 426 yards of total offense with 4 touchdowns to lead Michigan over Air Force 31-25.

    Purdue at 22 Notre Dame

    Notre Dame played great ball.20-17 is the final.

    18 Oklahoma State at Arizona

    23-14 Beardown at the break. Then later 3rd and 12 37-31 Arizona and he is is picked off by Arizona’s McKnight.59-38 final 320 yards for Matt Scott the ‘zona QB.

    Duke at 25 Stanford

    Josh Numes had 275 yards and 3 touchdowns in Stanford’s 50-13 steamrolling of Duke

    Illinois at Arizona State

    45-14 Arizona State.

    UCF at 14 Ohio State

    The buckeyes prove they are worthy of a top 25 spot in this 31-16 rampage.

    Savannah State at 6 Florida State

    55-0

    And with that score comes the question of the week : Should FCS schools continue to play FBS schools? Well FCS schools have the choice so I think it’s fair.

    Here are some scores from FCS vs FBS this week

    Florida A&M 13 at 5 Oklahoma 69

    Austin Peay 7 at 15 Virginia Tech 42

    Grambling State 0 at 20 TCU 56

  • College Football Week 1 recap

    8 Michigan vs 2 Alabama.

    ‘Bama scores Play Action ,then the deep ball to White Touch down ‘bama. Now Michigan looks like they are going to get something started then Shoelace Robinson … Picked off by D.Hilner. Then later in the 2nd quarter 24-0 bama,so the wolverines still have a tiny chance. And Denard Robinson picked off by C.J. Mosely, PICK 6! It was all bama from there Alabama 41-14.

    Hello everybody this is the Crazy Sports Dude with Week 1 College Football Recap.So lets get this started .Alabama’s O-line really was great in this game. 1 of the issues we thought ‘bama might have is inexperience on D and ‘bama was great on both sides of the ball.

    Ohio at Penn State

    The emotions were high for this one. Bill O’Brien’s Season Opener and the first game since the scandal 14-3 Penn State at the break Landon Smith pulls it in for a 43 yard Touchdown and the Bobcats pull within four then ball on the goal line and Tettleton runs it in Touchdown Ohio! Final Score 24-14 Ohio

    One of the questions somebody asked me that has been looming in my head is what does this mean for Penn State? Well if this was a normal team I would say they are out of the BCS title run but Penn State can’t go to a bowl. I think this is just proves what I’ve been trying to say Penn State is ruined for the next 5 or 6 years. Up next the Nittany Lions they travel to Charlottesville to play UVA

    4 Oklahoma at UTEP

    Oklahoma has to punt and Richard Spencer from UTEP blocks the punt Nathan Jeffery scoops it up and scores from 24 yards out.UTEP is on the board first. UTEP would miss 3 Field Goals in this game and in the fourth quarter Oklahoma pulls away UTEP loses 7-24

    Now we travel to the PAC-12.

    Hawaii at 1 USC

    2 plays in Marquise Lee 75 yards from Matt Barkley Touchdown. 14-0 USC’s  Palor pick-6!, 20-0 USC. Silas Redd get’s his first TD, 26-0 Marquise Lee returns one all the way on the kick off . Final 49-10 USC creams Hawaii

    Matt Barkley was great he threw for 377 yards and 4 touchdown’s

    Arkansas State at 5 Oregon

    2 Td’s for Kenjon Barner in a 57-34 Ducks win!

    Freshman QB Marcus Mariota threw for 300 yards and 2 touchdowns.

    Marshall at 11 West Virginia

    West Virginia scores 69 points in their first game since the 70-30 Orange bowl showing they had 10 TD’s same as vs Clemson and 31 First Downs (Same as the Orange Bowl). Geno Smith threw for 323 yards and 4 Touchdowns.

    14 Clemson vs Auburn

    Let’s fast forward to the 4th quarter Auburn up 19-16 DeAndre  Hopkins Great Catch ! 26-16 Final.

    Buffalo at 6 Georgia

    100 yard kickoff return for Georgia. The bulldogs go on to win it 45-23

    Bowling Green at 23 Florida

    Mike Gilslee has a Carer high 148 yard game. and the gators win 27-14

    Wyoming at 15 Texas

    The Longhorns win 37-17

    Savannah State at 19 Oklahoma State

    682 yards for the Cowboys in this one 84 to nothing is our final.

    Northern Iowa at 12 Wisconsin

    3 minutes left 26-21 Wisconsin 4th and 1 for Northern Iowa… and the pass is incomplete. Wisconsin wins 26-21

    Miami (oh) at 18 Ohio State

    Braxton Miller has 207 yards passing and 161 yards rushing. Ohio State wins this one 56-10

    What does this win signify? OSU will be in the championship run next year.

    Southern Mississippi at 17 Nebraska

    Will we finally see a upset?!!!!!!!!!The answer : NO! 49-20 our final in Cornhusker land.

    Northwestern at Syracuse

    41-35 Syracuse 40 seconds left… Northwestern backup QB Trevor Siemian to Demetrius Fields Touchdown Northwestern! 42-41 Final.
