I shouldn't be allowed to talk about college football.
I really, really, really thought that Ohio State would go on the road and tear up some Nittany Lions, but watching the second half of that game was painful. It was painful for many reasons, but one of them is the fact that the Buckeyes have 1) two explosive ends and 2) an innate refusal to use the pocket passer to throw to them. Memo to Jim Tressel: quarterbacks are supposed to throw the ball, not run it. And Troy Smith ain't no Vince Young.
That being said... the Buckeyes should still split time, because Troy Smith is still a good bet for a late drive, and he's too talented not to play.
I just want to point out that Justin Zwick has a 72% completion percentage, and Smith has a 55% completion percentage. You tell me who should be throwing the football. Plus, we won't get into the critical fumble or costly interception, I think we've seen that song and dance before.
On a side note, Georgia could be for real, although they always have problems with Florida... so we've gotta wait a bit.
Next week's must-watch games... Penn State at Michigan, USC at Notre Dame, and Florida at LSU. Throw in Texas/Colorado for good measure.
Here's hoping that Georgia and Alabama run the table to get to an unbeaten SEC final.
Here's hoping that Matt Leinart finally loses.
Here's hoping that Iowa makes a bowl.
But the game of the week is Louisville at WVU for the Big East title! We all know South Florida will lose some games, so the Big East and the BCS is for the taking. Take it if you dare.
