  • Redskins-Giants

    and to Uncle Mike’s wishes here is the recap of the giants “crushing” defeat of the redskins

    Redskins at Giants

    let’s start with 1 and a half minutes  left Giants up 20-16 and RG3 connects with Santana Moss beautifully thrown ball by RG3 on the 30 yard touchdown connection.But The ensuing giants drive Eli hooks up with Victor Cruz, Josh Wilson dives for Cruz but misses so it’s a 77 yard touchdown strike.And the giants retake the lead. It’s 27-23 Giants. Less than 45 ticks to go Redskins driving and RG3 finds Santana Moss for the first down but Moss fumbles it! Giants beat their hated rivals 27-23.

    4 Kansas State at 13 West Virginia

    Kansas State already up 17-0 and Collin Klein runs it in for the score. Geno has to win though so he drops back and finds Arthur Brown but the problem is Arthur is on scholarship with Kansas State.That is geno’s first INT of the season! Now here’s a good question: Did you know that Arthur Brown picked off RG3’s first INT? Collin Klein had a 20 yd pass to Tyler Lockett and K-State wins 55-14 in another blowout W.

    Collin Klein was great! he had 323 yards and 3 TD’s passing and 41 yards and 4 Touchdowns rushing.

    A: I answered this in my “First BCS standings” article the answer is no.

    Nebraska at Northwestern

    Northwestern is done taking their nap and so Trevor Siemian to Dan Vitale they want to get this over with so they can get back to sleep!7-3 Northwestern.Venric Mark 80 Yard Run WOW! 21-10 Northwestern. But before yo know it it’s back to 29-28 Nebraska and Northwestern’s Jeff Budzien misses the game winner!

    Purdue at Ohio State

    a minute left in the third and Braxton Miller takes a hit and he would be taken to the hospital he would be okay. But Ohio State wouldn’t.  2 seconds left Chris Fields 2 Yard Pass From Kenny Guiton but they would need the 2 to send it to OT Kenny Guiton Pass To Jeff Heuerman For Two-Point Conversion!and Ohio State sends it to OT whre Carlos Hyde with the 1 Yard Run for the score. and Ohio State stays unbeaten 29-22.

    Texas is going downhill. Baylor is better than most people think.  I might go with Baylor because West Virginia scored 48 points on this Texas D and Oklahoma scored 63! Baylor has lost to West Virginia and TCU two BCS TOP 25 teams so that means they are used to playing quality opponents. I have Baylor winning!

    A: Currently No because Jeff Driskel is not very good throwing but he can run. It’s definitely close.

    Did You Know?

    If it was up to the computers the championship would be Florida vs Notre Dame. if the season ended today with the BCS it would be Alabama vs Florida.

    Q: If Notre Dame runs the table would you put them in a championship game?

    A: If say…. ‘Bama and Oregon run the table No but if they are one of only two unbeaten’s YES.
