Some early great games as the Central Michigan last second victory over Michigan St. leads off todays games. Fantastic game as Chippewa QB Dan LeFevour throws for 327 yards and 3 TD's. Amazing ending as Central Michigan scores with 34 seconds left, goes for 2 to win it and is denied. The ensuing onside kick is a perfectly executed thing of beauty as the kicking team not only recovers but runs it down inside the Michigan St. 40. After missing his initial FG attempt from 48 yards, the Spartans called for offisde. Refs move the ball up 5 yards and Andrew Aguilla gets a reprive and just snakes it inside the left goal post from 43 yards out and the win 29-27.
The Big-10 loses the above but survives two scares. First, Wisconsin goes to 2 OT to pull out a victory over the Fresno St. Bulldogs. Could be the coming out party for huge tailback John Clay (6'-2", 235). And Northwestern holds on for a slim victory over MAC opponent Eastern Michigan as kicker Stefan Demos boots a 49 yarder in the waning seconds.
The UConn, North Carolina game was played in a rainsoaked stadium and I was very impressed with the Husky defense. Unfotunately for UConn, starting QB Zach Frazier injured his knee in the third quarter and UConn could never quite get on track after that. North Carolina looked very sluggish with a non existent running game for 3 1/2 quarters. The winning points came on a safety (thanks to a holding penalty from inside the 3 yard line) and Carolina held on. I did have the Tar Heels in this one but was not very impressed with Coach Davis' troops on offense. Liked what I saw of Dartmouth H.S. own Jordan Todman, 81 yards and 1 TD. Final in this one, North Carolina 12-UConn 10.
I'll be back at 7:00 for up to the minute scores !
