Can you believe we are two Saturdays away from the end of the college football regular season. Absolutely incredible! The best sport on this planet just flies by, and it seems to go faster and faster every year.
This week’s slate is probably the least exciting of all the football weekends simply because so many great teams are idle due to in-state matchups next weekend. However, there a few games that should catch your eye.
Ohio State at Iowa
This is a big game of course for both teams, but especially Terrell Pryor. The clear frontrunner at the beginning of the season for the Heisman Trophy, he still has his doubters in Columbus and in the college football world due to his inconsistent play. Pryor must beat Iowa tomorrow, and it won’t be easy. Despite a devastating loss to Northwestern in a clear look ahead game, Iowa is a good football team and should be on the top of its game Saturday in Iowa City.
Ole Miss at LSU
How about “The Hat”! Despite his odd game management and overall personality, the guy just simply wins game. Better than that, Miles is just great for the game of college football. Everytime the guy is interviewed it’s must see TV. My favorite was the interview after the 13 man debacle that cost Tennessee what looked to be a guaranteed upset. He acted as if it was part of plan. Just a beauty!
Miles takes on Ole Miss this weekend in a game that should be an easy stepping stone to a SEC West showdown against Arkansas in Little Rock next Saturday. The Rebels are in turnmoil and the Houston Nutt experiment appears to be ending its course. However, keep an eye on this one. Ole Miss has won two straight in the series.
Wisconsin at Michigan
A Badger win here and they beginning turning the key to unlock a Big Ten title. However, the game is huge for MIchigan especially Rich Rodriguez. Richie Rod’s job status has seemed to be up in the air ever since he took the job. From the problems with his spread offense too probation left behind at West Virginia and now brought to Michigan, it appeared Rodriguez was a “gonner” even before the 2010 season began.
But, he has made clear improvement this season especially on offense due to the spectatcular play of QB Denard Robinson. Rich Rod has Robinson for at least two more seasons so the future is finally bright. I firmly believe a win Saturday, and Rodriguez’s return in 2011 will be official.
Quotable
“This is football if you have a problem with it turn it to the Golf Channel.”-Nick Saban
If you missed this quote, Saban spouted it off after Alabama’s 63-7 win Thursday night against Georgia State. The controversy spewed for Saban reaming and the spanking the backside of backup QB AJ McCarron late in a 30-10 Crimson Tide victory over Mississippi State.
I am proud of Saban for not backing down. You’ve got to love a coach who brings it for 4 quarters and expects perfection no matter the score. Kudos to Saban! If you haven’t seen the video, I have linked it below.
