Saturday CFB Thoughts...


1. If you thought Mike Leach's goal-line decision making was bad. Charlie Weis has a chance in the fourth quarter to kick the game-tying field goal on 4th & goal from the 1. Notre Dame comes to the line and Jimmy Clausen calls timeout. So they were bluffing, and after wasting a timeout, you figure ND would kick the field goal. Wrong! The Irish come out in the Wildchicken formation and Clausen (your best player and supposed Heisman candidate) on the sideline and get stoned by BC at the one yard line. This, folks, is how you lose games and lose your job. Truly amazing. Check your ego at the door, Jabba, and kick the field goal. Now, ND is punting with 3:27 remaining, and a BC touchdown wins the game instead of tying....duh.

2. Nobody can execute anymore. Nobody can score. Penalties abound. Nine of 10 games are unwatchable. The alleged number one team in the nation has 12 points against Tennessee and made its first first down of the 2nd half with eight minutes remaining in the game.

3. Speaking of the SEC, the tried and true rule holds: Score 13 points, win the game. The conference gets tons of credit for its athleticism, but almost every game is brutally unwatchable. If you'd bet the under on every game the last five years, you'd be rich. And it's bad offense, not stellar defense.

4. Well, Jabba Weis lucks out and BC's quarterback threw a brutal INT to give the Irish the game. BC joins Michigan State and Purdue in handing away a win to Notre Dame this season. Way to go Jabba, your home record is now 19-12.

5. Is there a team with a bigger knack for blowing games at the end than Michigan State? This time, a last-play TD by Iowa does in the Spartans.

6. Just in case you were wondering, Kevin Cosgrove is still doing what he does best. His Golden Gopher defense held Terrelle Pryor and Ohio State to just 509 yards Saturday.

7. Texas A&M dominates Texas Tech all game, gaining 539 yards and scoring 45 points. Ouch.

8. PYB takes this opportunity to brag on its own betting efficiency.....17 wagers placed Saturday, up $2.
