Week 7 review

Biggest Win: Cincy. A lot of people know Brian Kelly is a football coaching legend and that he makes winners wherever he stops (GVSU, Central Michigan, Cincy) but their were still some questions as to if the Bearcats could win a conference game on the road. They went into Tampa and took it to South Florida winning 34-17. The bigger issue was the loss of their QB Tony Pike who had surgery Tuesday on his left forearm. He may sit out a week but should be back to finish out the season.

Biggest Loss: Notre Dame. Charlie needed it badly. Hell, ND needed their first big time win in many, many years. In the end, despite help from USC they could not get it done despite their rally from being down 34-14 in the 4th. On the flip side it was yet another big road win for Pete Carroll. Now if he could just figure out how to beat that 1 P10 team that gets him every year.

Most Overrated BCS Ranking: Iowa @ #6.

NCSU Ball Gag award: Texas A& M. You give up 62 points to KSU and you’ll win this award every week. I bet Aggie fans would sell their souls to Satan for the 2nd coming of a R.C. Slocum.

Speaking of TAMU. TAMU is the classic example of a school not knowing what they are. A program that fell into the lap of a great coach you just could not wait to get rid of. How has that worked out for you since he left? You’ve had two coaches worth a damn since Bo Schembechler turned down your multi million dollar offer in the early 80s. Have fun getting your worthless Texas hating asses handed to you year in and year out. At least you gave us the classic JTS meltdown thread.

Player of the week: Mark Ingram. I love to see what he does as he is my favorite non-Michigan football player. See, MI Jr. was down to Alabama and Michigan State. Now Michigan doesn’t have to face him, State didn’t get him and he went to Saban who MSU fans still hate. You can’t blame Saban though. He knew MSU would always be the little brother program in Michigan.
