The Rebels didn’t give in and tried to stay focussed but just couldn’t pull it off.

I think they need to work on their offense a bit, since even though they tried a change in quarterbacks they could not get their offense to just make the plays in times when they needed it the most.

The final, Alabama wins 34 to 14 over Mississippi.

Throughout the third quarter, the Mississippi defense was able to keep pressure on the Tide’s quarterback McCarron more effectively. They were not able to shut him down completely but they did much better then in the first half.

In fact, the third quarter was the first time Alabama has not scored in 34 quarters. No doubt had the Rebels been abble to produce this kind of game during the first half it would likely would have been a much different ball game.

Fortunately for Alabama, they also have a solid defense and managed to keep them from converting on 3rd down conversions a number of times and get the ball back in to the hands of their offense.

End of third quarter score Alabama 27 to Mississippi’s 14.

Florida State Seminoles win game over University of Florida

In the end Florida state managed to hold on to their lead throughout the 4th quarter and won the game 30 to 17 against the University of Forida Bulls.

It is time for kickoff and I am off to try and watch the Ole Miss game against top ranked Alabama.

Florida State vs USF game worth watching

Since I was hooked on the Tennessee game and although I picked up the game with FSU winning 13 to 3 the game turned into one worth watching.

The blocked punt early in the third quarter by the Bulls shows how dangerous their special teams can be and just what they needed to get the momemtum going and a few plays later they found themselves in the end zone for the first time of the game essentially putting them back in the game. This made it a 3 point game with the extra point.

The Bulls just couldn’t keep the momemtum going though and The Seminoles seemed to have gotten it back and as the third quarter ended Florida State were up 29 to 10.

Georgia and Tennessee game full of surprises and excitement

You know as it turned out I think I made a pretty good choice on the Georgia – Tennessee game. Even though they were down by 2 touchdowns, near the end of the first quarter, they made up for it in the second.

By the end of the half when they took their break they had put themselves back in the game and went to the half with a tied game of 30 all.

I honestly wanted to switch over to the Florda State game that started at 6:00 pm but I am glad I didn’t because this game was full of surprises and edge of your seat plays.

It stayed exciting right up until the end and even though Tennessee was down by one touchdown and were out of time outs they did manage to get one final posession with under a minute to go. They just couldn’t quite convert that though and in what was appearing to be the next to last play of the game Tyler Bray had a pass tipped that was intercepted.

Even though Tennessee lost to Georgia 44 to 51, they have improved their game and did a good job against the bulldog defense.

Glad I stayed on this channel and thoroughly enjoyed the game although it was the first college game I have watched this season.

Pro football fan decides to watch college football discover choices are plenty

Although I am much more of an NFL fan than college football, and since I had some web work to get done from home today I figured it was a good opportunity for me to get caught up a little on the college games.

It’s also good to remember that the NCAA stars in school today will be the players on the professional teams of tomorrow.

The fact that there are so many more games makes it more difficult for a football fan to pick which games to watch. It almost makes me want to put a second tv in the living room so I can watch at least 2 games at once, no I don’t particularly care for split screen watching.

It appears that the Ole Miss at Alabama game will the one of the hot games of the night, I personally am more interested in watching the Florida State at USF game in Tampa. That game is at 6:00 pm.

For the afternoon games, I have decided to watch the Tennessee Volunteers game playing the Bulldogs of Georgia. That game is in Tennessee and the Bulldogs have won 8 of the last 12 games between these two teams.

Volunteer students at University of Minnesota paint school logo on 45 yard line

No they didn’t move the stands at the University of Minnesota, Crookston, but if you had seats on the 50 yard line for a college football game there you might think so.

Volunteer students that painted the “M” logo on the football field mistakenly painted it centered on the 45 yard line instead of the 50. Since the logo was painted before the yard numbers were in place, no one noticed it until it was too late.

Since they won their first game of the season against Southwest Minnesota 33-28, some superstitious fans have been requesting they keep it that way. As of this writing I haven’t been able to find official word on whether the Golden Eagles will keep the logo on the 45.

I think the most humorous comment about this I have seen so far was that the “NFL replacement refs had no problem with the paint job.”
