  • WEEK 10 PROJECTION AND RECAP AND WEEK 9 PLAYER OF THE WEEK.

    OKAY because I am so busy I have to push all 3 of these articles into one so here’s how it’s going to work: i’ll give you my projection then i’ll do the recap and I will reveal last week’s player of the week with this weeks candidates. This might also be on the shorter end of the recap’s because I am backed up because I am working on a 2 part college bball preview and have 28 of 32 parts done for part 1 and need to get started on part 2. but without further ado this college football article starts……. RIGHT NOW!

    1 Alabama at 5 LSU

    My pick: LSU

    Lets start 7-3 bama and LSU setting up for a field goal but this is the mad hatter It’s a fakE! but Alabama was ready for it. 3 safety and 2 corners who did  not blitz to block the kick swarm to the ball. I think LSU should have taken the easy 3. 11 seconds left in the half and AJ McCarron looking… looking no one open and McCarron runs it in for the score! 14-3 bama at  the break. 3rd quarter LSU just scored a TD and they try the onside kick.and recover it! but the kicker touched it at the 9 1/2 yard mark ( It must go 10 yards to be legal) so ‘Bama retakes the momentum. Bama ball. Later  still bama ball. same score. Bama driving and he fumbles it! LSU drives and to cap it off a Zach Mettenberger pass to Jarvis Landry 14 Yards for the score. 17-14 LSU. 1 minute 34 seconds left LSU lining up for the 40+ yard field goal is no good so Alabama takes over. A.J. McCarron  finds T.J. Yeldon for the -1 yard pass but Yeldon makes a couple moves and goes all the way. Alabama wins 21-17.

    The LSU defense shut down McCarron in the second half. minus the game-winning drive McCarron had 1 completion for 0 yards in the second half.

    A.J. McCarron was 14/27, 165 yards and 1 TD and no INT’s passing he also ran for a TD.

    Question of the Week Finalist

    Q: How did LSU lose? they had 0 turnovers, Alabama had 2. LSU nearly doubled the time of Possession of Alabama. ‘bama was 10% on 3rd down conversions,  LSU was 50%.LSU had 104 more yards than ‘bama. LSU had 4 more 1st downs than ‘bama. Team Leaders:LSU’s Zach Mettenberger had 133 more yards passing than ‘bama’s McCarron. LSU’s Jeremy Hill had 24 more yards rushing than  ‘bama’s Eddie Lacy. LSU’s Jarvis Landry had 14 more receiving yards than ‘bama’s Kevin Norwood. and LSU still lost. How did this happen?

    A: 2 reasons 1:Alabama dominated on the line but 2:LSU was winning with a minute left by 3 but bama had ONE good drive. if LSU’s kicker made that field goal 1:LSU would be  up by 6 and 2: Alabama would not have as good field position.

    Pittsburgh at 3 Notre Dame

    my pick: ND

    Lets start in the first 3-0 irish and Ray Graham gets the handoff and he…could…go…all…the…way… tackled at the 25 or so. Pitt would have to settle for a field goal. Kyle Brindza gets a quick 3 for the irish to make it 6-3 but Pitt gets in the endzone first with a Ray Grahm tough it out type of run. Then Tino Sunseri to J.P. Holtz for the 9 yard touchdown pass that made it 17-6.Then Pitt knocking on the door again and Ray Gramh is stuffed! at the 4. Pitt would settle for a field goal but come on it’s the luck of the irish the best 4th quarter comeback in history is about to begin and Everett Golson to TJ Jones for the 11 Yd Touchdown hook-up. but Kyle Brindza misses the PAT so it’s 20-12 and Pitt will just run out the clock right? wrong! ND gets the ball back with 3 minutes and change so Golson airs it out long and it’s complete down inside the 20. Golson would find Theo Riddick for the ND TD.But it all comes down to this 20-18 Pitt Notre Dame has to go for two and Golson looking, looking buys some time and does it himself with his feet!20-all so we go to OT!in the first OT Notre Dame and Pitt trade field goals but in double OT Golson runs it in and the irish have taken a 7 point lead! rejoice Pitt needs to score a TD which they haven’t done scince the middle of the 3rd but wait Golson fumbles it so all Pitt needs is a field goal and it’s over here is my #1 rated commentary for this kick:Kevin Harper lining up to kick… snaps high, kicks off it looks like it’s long enough… it’s curving…. wide right! he’s missed it wide right!!Pitt would get a 44 yarder in triple OT to putt Pitt up 26-23 but that was a short lived lead because Everett Golson runs it in for the score!

    Question of the Week

    Q: Should Auburn fire Gene Chizic because of his 1-7 season or does winning a national champion buy you more time?

    A:It seems crazy that 2 seasons ago Auburn was the “Dream Team” undefeated  but don’t get me wrong their team is awful. But I do think it buys you more than one bad season by the way the years before and after Cam they won bowl games.

    Ohio State at Penn State

    OSU was up 28-10 on the half. They rolled to a 35-23 victory.

    This one has a hint of upset but I will now reveal that Oregon State is one of only 3 teams ( the other 2 are Ohio State and Rutgers) that I believe Will finish  the entire season (including Conference championship’s) unbeaten. My projected BCS National championship game is…… Oregon State vs LSU. I think Oregon State will emerge with a victory but don’t be surprised if this one is close deep in the 4th quarter.

    Notre Dame is one of 2 unbeaten’s who I believe will lose this week. Oklahoma has not seen a defense like Notre Dame but Notre Dame has not seen a offense like Oklahoma I still think Notre Dame has a QB problem that will send them spiraling down too a 2 loss season

    This one is a game that nobody cares about but is a game between 2 good 2-loss teams. Michigan is coming off a win against hated rival Michigan State and Nebraska beat a sleepy Northwestern team last week. I believe that both of these teams are top 25 caliber but only 1 will emerge as a top 25 team when the 3rd BCS standings are released Sunday night. The winner will probably get a spot in the rose bowl. but let’s get to the pick. D-Rob or Taylor Martinez I think Michigan is a little bit better team but it is at Nebraska so I have to say that Nebraska will win. D-Rob hasn’t been him self lately I have the cornhuskers.

    Ahhhh The world biggest cocktail party. After being embarrassed by South Carolina, Georgia has been waiting for this. A chance to get back into the top 5. Florida will drop down to 2nd in my rankings if they do not win convincingly and Alabama does against Mississippi State.But I  think  Florida can escape with a win.

    Kansas State has it at home but Texas Tech is 3-0 away they have beat TCU, Texas State and Iowa State away from Lubbock. but will Kansas State be too much? I think so. But it will be close.By the way if TTU turns out to be good don’t be surprised if Seth Deoge gets some heisman talk.

    If you take off the last minute and 30 seconds of each game Arizona has played ( If game went to OT because it was tied and no team scored in the last 90 seconds The team who won in OT is awarded the win example Arizona vs Toledo) Arizona has the same record as USC (6-1). Oregon’s win sounds a bit better now.It is at Arizona. If the wildcats can remember that a game is 60 minutes not 58 1/2 they CAN pull off the upset.

    A first down and a better kick. Wisconsin would have lost to Northern Iowa and Utah State so Wisconsin could be 4-4 too. So this is a battle of teams I think are overrated and real disappointment’s. Wisconsin is a bigger disappointment but they are still a better team.It is also at home for the badgers…

    BYU is a good team. They could have 1 loss because they lost to Utah by 3, Boise State by 1 and Notre Dame by three.They got blasted by Oregon State 42-24. Georgia Tech has lost to Middle Tennessee State. I think you know where i’m going. I’ve got BYU.

    I am back on the RG3 Train he had 2 touchdowns against the defending super bowl champs and a giants d-lineman said he RG3 is the best QB they’ve faced all year and that he’s scared that this guy is only a rookie and he only has room to improve. Luck on the other hand has as many TD’s as Interceptions.

    RG3 or LUCK?
