Odds and Sods

Michigan 14 - (10) Penn St. 9

Even with Michigan’s horrific start, Mike Hart is still on the Heisman radar, and deservedly so.  The senior was by far the best player on the field and willed the Wolverines to victory.  The next person to make a pun about him having a lot of “hart” or him being the “hart” of the team should be punched in the face.

Miami 34 - (20) Texas A&M 17

It was a big win for the “U” in the “OB” on national television.  Kyle Wright had about as good of a game as one can have, going 21-26 for 275 yards and two touchdowns.   He cemented his status and the starter and at actually resembled the player he was expected to become.

(3) Florida 30 - Ole Miss 24

This was not a particularly impressive performance by the Gators, who relied heavily upon Tim Tebow’s running ability.  They look vulnerable and could be exposed by a tougher SEC squad.

(2) LSU 28 - (12) South Carolina 16

The true #1 team got a challenge at home from an improved South Carolina team, but the Old Ball Coach still doesn’t quite have the talent to pull off the upset.  The poor game from Matt Flynn should be a bit worrisome.

Syracuse 38 - (1 Louisville 35

Maybe that Petrino guy was kind of important.  Syracuse, a bottom feeder of late, was a 36.5 point underdog coming into this game.  Brian Brohm threw 65 times for 555 yards, but Louisville failed to assert their will on the ground.  Once considered a national title contender, Louisville are now reeling after two straight losses.
