My first impressions of last week's action: Most impressive part of last week's romp of UCLA by Oregon was how the Ducks shut down the UCLA rush game. Look out if Oregon plays good, consistent defense...One of the challenges of handicapping the season is trying to figure which teams are ascending and which are declining. Louisville and UConn are examples of each. Was Louisville's romp of the Huskies a clear indication of a team hitting its stride, or, did they simply play a team that has no mo-jo, a-la UConn... I was very happy to see North Carolina get busted up in the second half of their loss to Miami. I just want to see the TarHeels go away...Question: is the option best run by the service academies, who bring a special discipline that offense needs to succeed? Georgia Tech's version is hitting some snags this year, and, I wonder if the better athletes who run that offense for the Yellow Jackets, feel more restricted by the rush-oriented aspects of the option? Just wonderin'...Surprise team of the year may be the East Carolina Pirates. I believe they only have 8 starters back from last year's team(only 3 back on defense), and yet, they just beat N.C.St. and have dominated their CUSA competitors. Great jobs by new coach, Mcneil, who came from Texas Tech, and new QB, Dominique Davis... More Collage tomorrow night.
Yes, I fear N.C.St. as an ESPN, Thursday night home dog, but, FSU has the better team and is worthy of my recommendation:
FSU IN A ONE STAR PLAY OVER N.C.ST.
