MAJOR PLAY at the end of this article. Take the time to read my last two MAJOR PLAYS below. Sam's College Collage will be a weekly article which will give you my impressions of last week's games. No rehearsals, no reviews; I will simply look at a game from last week and give you my thoughts: Coach Spurrier's teams are still playing better on defense than offense. Who would've ever figured on that...36 points is an awful lot of points for USC to give up to Hawaii. They will get their butts kicked a couple times this year... I love the MAC conference( when they play each other)... Illinois surprised me. I stayed away from the game because the spread was too high, but, I honestly didn't think Illini had a chance. Just goes to show you what highly rated players are always capable of accomplishing. I'm stubborn though: Zook's bad coaching will soon take over... Nice first game for under-achieving Colorado coach Dan Hawkins, but, his team's stats should've been better with the amount of starters the Buffs have back...How the heck did Vandy score 21 points? Maybe N.Western is badder than I thought... Miss.St lost tonight, and I won a MAJOR PLAY, but, I think coach Dan Mullen will do a good job... Don't get too excited by N.D.'s win. Purdue stinks on offense, and have only 1 really outstanding player on defense... I had UConn in a 1* star play, but, I was really happy with how Coach Rodriguez's team played. Coach has won a lot of money for me over the years, and there was no way he forgot to coach over the last two years, or, at least that's what I hoped. He got off to a slow starts at Tulane and W.Va. Maybe that'll be his legacy here as well... I repeat: the first MAJOR PLAY of this year came with one of my favorite coaches of all time, Bill Snyder. Is that not a tremendous omen???Watch out for the Orange defense this year... If Jake Locker expects to win the Heisman, he has to figure out a way to beat BYU. Instead, he scores only 17 points against a team with only 4.5 starters on defense. This hurts me to say this, because I like Locker, but, BYU's 2 kids at QB played better than he did... Ok.St. killed WSU. Now, I have to hope they slug Troy, because I believe the Cowboys will eventually suck this year. Linemakers, please over-rate them Cowboys!!!I said Okla. is over-rated. It's ashamed USU couldn't take the Sooners out. Okla. will probably wake up for the next couple of games But, I will wait for the right time to pounce...TCU has a REAL team this year. Like I wrote earlier, Oregon St. is tough, and they played the Horned Frogs in a proud manner. Again, the Beavers will give Boise a tough matchup... Friggin' agents, and friggin' players from North Carolina. That defense had a chance to make my prediction of the TarHeels being a long-shot favorite to win the national championship go up in smoke. I'm so pissed at what happened there that I now hope the Heels get their butts kicked all year... Cincy Bearcats had a nice nucleus of offensive players back. How they scored 14 points quickly, and then not score again was a shocker. If that happened against a West Virginia, fine, but, not score another point against Fresno St? You've got to be kidding... Wiscy-UNLV too late for me to stay awake, but 41-21 score not impressive at all. Maybe I'll take a look at UNLV and their new coach... CUSA has picked scores up where they left them last yearThat's to say they SCORE LOTS OF POINTS. Hint: There's a Cusa play Friday night I like... Will Coach June Jones pull the same miracle coaching job at SMU as he did at Hawaii? No way that game should've even been close... Did you ever think you'd see an experienced service academy option turn over the ball in the red-zone as much as Navy did Monday? I like coach Friedgen(the rotund one), so part of me was happy to see Maryland win... QB Taylor threw the ball a lot better than I thought he could against Boise ST. But, I said Boise St. should've been the favorite, and, despite, a lot of sweaty under-arms, I was right. See you next week at SAM'S COLLEGE COLLAGE!
MAJOR PLAY FOR SATURDAY
Again, I like a game where the wrong team is favored. BYU should be favored over their MWC rival, Air Force. Instead, like the Boise St./Virginia Tech game, the team that should be favored, and opened as a favorite(BYU-2.5), is now an underdog. Keep in touch with the line. If it starts moving again toward BYU, take BYU at the most advantageous line. More on this game on later.
MAJOR PLAY ON BYU
