Catch Him if You Can - College Football Games of the Week

Michigan QB Denard  Robinson has been a Man among Boys and
is running all over the competition, making a good UCONN (shout to JH) team last year look like my high school JV team and an improved and over hyped Notre Dame (JG) team look average as they should be. 

He's averaging 227 yards a game rushing and close to 3 touchdown games.  If Robinson doesn't get hurt, he could be a heisman candidate at the end of the year.  Last week I missed out on a number of good games, this week it's all about improving the record.

Overall 0-2 (UNC and Va Tech from 1st week)


Georgia Tech vs. UNC
UNC played well enough to beat LSU with so many unproven players.  They are unproven no more.  If Yates can stay consistent and with the addition of another running back being cleared UNC has another chance if they can figure out Ga Tech's option attack early.  Like my homie Juvie said, I'm looking for UNC to "bounce back" in a big way...UNC 28-20

Wake Forest at No.19 Stanford
It's the battle of the private schools.  We haven't heard from WF since Aaron Curry (crib) left while Stanford is quietly trying to become a contender.  They had a nice win last week vs. UCLA and it would be nice to be 3-0 heading into a game vs. Notre Dame.  Cards are at home so they have the edge...Stanford 42-21

 No. 10 Florida at Tennessee
Rocky Top TN looked like floppy top last week vs. Oregon in Knoxville.  It hurt my heart to see that score.  Florida will pose an even bigger challenge. Scandal has hurt both my alma maters (UNC & UT), but the Vols are hurting the most.  I want to go with the upset so bad, but Florida is rolling and UT's offense is struggling, UF 24-10

No. 9 Iowa at No. 24 Arizona
The only game of the week with two top 25 teams squaring off.  In college sports, the advantage always goes to the home team in most cases (except in cases when Duke plays Alabama in Durham).  Arizona is trying to remain consistent while Iowa is trying to hold down the Big Ten and keep up with Ohio State, too bad this game is not in Iowa, Zona in the upset...27-17


Black College Football Game of the Week
Fayetteville State at Elizabeth City State
It's the Annual Down East Football Classic being held in Rocky Mount.  Two of the best teams in the CIAA, but edge goes to ECSU, they've built up quite the athletic program...all they do is win championships, in the CIAA that is...  ECSU 35-31
