College football thread

We used to have these. There were some major upsets this week as you may know. How did your teams do?

I'm watching my Sun Devils against USC Trojans in the Coliseum where they haven't won since '99 and they have to do without Taylor Kelly.

So far it is looking like I'll have my heart broken by USC. Arizona State's recruits tend to run straight up and down (their most elusive back ever was JR Redmond) while USC manages to pick up these shifty playmakers who have been making Sun Devil tacklers miss all afternoon. Halftime, down 15-17.

We were robbed at the end of the game when the refs let the clock run out. Southwestern should have had a chance for a Hail Mary from the Austin College 30 yard line. It was still a good game considering Southwestern is all first-year and sophomore students and we are starting our second quarterback.

My Hawkeyes were smart and took the day off. Brilliant!
