College Football
Week 9 – Ohio State at Penn State, Kentucky at Tennessee
Uiagalelei,
Uiagalelei he’s our man;
Actually, Will Shipley got it done. More on Clemson later, but what else did we learn on Saturday? Lane Kiffin has no defense. Kirk Ferentz needs to be retired, while Neal Brown needs to be fired.
Those amazing Dookies. Can the Ducks make the CFP? Liberty wins the Holy Roller Bowl. Beamer Ball is back as Jimbo falls to 3-4. And for thrillers, you can’t beat the Big 12. Just ask the Pokes and the Frogs. It was another wild, crazy and interesting weekend.
Midway through the third quarter on Saturday, Clemson was trailing Syracuse, 21-10. It wasn’t because Syracuse was playing that good. They weren’t. It was because Clemson was playing that bad. Tigers quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei had just thrown his second interception. And Clemson had lost two fumbles – one was a bad handoff from Uiagalelei.
Enter freshman quarterback Cade Klubnik. Uiagalelei was benched. Under Klubnik, Clemson proceeded to score two touchdowns and a field goal. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was conservative with Klubnik. The freshman quarterback only threw four passes, connecting on two of them. But he didn’t make any mistakes.
The real heroes for Clemson were running backs Will Shipley and Phil Mafah. Shipley scored one of the two second-half touchdowns on a 50-yard run. He finished the game with 172 yards rushing. Mafah scored the other second-half touchdown and finished the game with 94 yards rushing.
After the game, Swinney assured fans there is no quarterback controversy. He said Uiagalelei is still the starter – still the team’s leader. But if Uiagalelei stumbles during any of Clemson’s remaining games, expect to see more of Klubnik. The Tigers are 8-0. With remaining games against Notre Dame, Louisville, Miami (Florida) and South Carolina (all but Notre Dame at home) expect Clemson to finish the season at 12-0. Although, South Carolina could, well maybe.
And speaking of South Carolina, Beamer Ball is back. No not Frank, but Shane. Second-year South Carolina coach Shane Beamer has the Gamecocks at 5-2, after seven games. Forget that nasty 48-7 loss to Georgia back on September 17, when South Carolina fans were knocking themselves over trying to get out of the stadium in the third quarter.
Shane Beamer Ball showed up on October 8 in Lexington, Kentucky, when the Gamecocks shocked Kentucky, 24-14. It continued Saturday night with South Carolina’s 30-24 win over Texas A&M. South Carolina’s lead was bigger – 30-21 – until 10 seconds left in the game. That’s when Aggies kicked a field goal, cutting the Gamecocks’ lead to 30-24. Then A&M followed the field goal with a successful onside kick. But with no timeouts, 10 seconds just wasn’t enough time.
That’s two big back-to-back victories for South Carolina. With games remaining against Missouri, Vanderbilt, Florida, Tennessee and Clemson, the Gamecocks have a few challenges.
Meanwhile Texas
A&M coach Jimbo Fisher is sitting at 3-4. And he’s on a three-game
losing streak. This a team that was ranked No. 6 at the beginning of the season.
Something tells me Nick Saban couldn’t be happier.
And speaking of nasty losses early in the season, remember that 49-3 beating Oregon took from Georgia back on opening weekend? Well, since then, Oregon has reeled off seven-straight wins, averaging 49 points a game along the way. Saturday, the Ducks clobbered previously undefeated UCLA, 45-30. Oregon quarterback Bo Nix was 22-28-0, passing for 283 yards and five touchdowns. Nix also rushed for 51 yards.
Now, if Oregon wins the rest of its games, including the Pac-12 championship game, the Ducks would be 12-1, riding a 12-game winning streak. Could Oregon get into the College Football Playoff? Well, that depends on how the cookies crumble – the cookies being Michigan, Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee, TCU and Clemson. But it is possible.
There was a cookie that crumbled Saturday – Ole Miss. The previously undefeated Magnolias lost to LSU, 45-20. I wasn’t surprised. I personally viewed what Brian Kelly’s Tigers did to Florida the previous week. In its previous two games, Ole Miss gave up 28 points to Vanderbilt and 34 points to Auburn. I didn’t think Lane Kiffin had a defense in Oxford. And he doesn’t. Ole Miss led LSU, 20-17, at halftime. But the Tigers outscored the Magnolias, 28-0, in the second half.
Talking about making the College Football Playoff, I can name two teams that won’t come anywhere close to making the Playoff – Iowa and West Virginia. Both teams are 3-4. One has a coach who should be retired. The other has a coach who should be fired.
Until Saturday, Iowa had a defense. The Hawkeyes had given up only 59 points in six games. That’s 9.8 points a game. Iowa’s problem was its offense – averaging 16.3 points a game. Saturday, we learned Iowa’s offense is still bad – downright dismal. And that the Hawkeyes may have been fooling us on defense. Ohio State beat Iowa, 54-10. Granted, Iowa had six turnovers. So the dismal offense made it tough for the defense.
Against Ohio State, Iowa had 8 first downs, 77 yards rushing and 81 yards passing. In 3rd-down efficiency, the Hawkeyes were 1-for-13. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, the dean of FBS coaches in his 24th year coaching the Hawkeyes, needs to retire.
The other 3-4 team – West Virginia – suffered its worst loss in 31 years. A coach in his fourth season lost to a coach in his first season. West Virginia lost to Texas Tech, 48-10. Of 132 FBS teams, WVU’s defense is 118th in points allowed per game, 117th in passing yards allowed per game and 96th in total yards allowed per game.
In 3+ seasons, West Virginia coach Neal Brown is 20-22. (5-6, 6-5, 6-7 and 3-4). There is no sign of improvement. No sign of establishing anything that is positive. West Virginia should fire Brown and the sooner the better.
When I saw the score out of Miami Gardens Saturday, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Duke was beating Miami at Miami. This a Duke team that was coming off back-to-back losses to Georgia Tech and North Carolina. The Dookies not only were beating Miami, they beat the Canes, 45-21. Granted, Miami had eight turnovers. But the Dookies didn’t sit around. They took advantage of those turnovers. In his first season, Duke coach Mike Elko is off to a good start. The Dookies are 5-3.
Up the coast, a good way from Florida, the Holy Roller Bowl was taking place in Lynchburg, Virginia. The Mormons were playing the Baptists. The Baptists prevailed. Liberty beat BYU, 41-14. Liberty racked up 547 total yards, controlling time of possession for 39:08.
And finally, there were the two thrillers that the Big 12 has been so good at producing this season – one in Stillwater and the other in Fort Worth. First in Stillwater, Oklahoma State and Texas went back and forth for a while. The Cowboys led 3-0, the Longhorns led 7-3, the Cowboys led 10-7 and the Horns went back up 14-10.
Then Texas got the upper hand and outscored Okie State, 24-7. The Longhorns led, 31-17, late in the second quarter. Then the Cowboys got the upper hand. Okie State outscored Texas, 24-3 – the final touchdown coming with 3:09 left on the clock. Oklahoma State beat Texas, 41-34.
The thrills weren’t over. TCU and Kansas State decided to provide a few of their own. The Frogs took the first lead at 7-0. The Wildcats responded, 7-7. TCU said back at you. The Frogs led 10-7. The Wildcats got serious and scored 21 unanswered points. K-State led 28-10.
TCU got serious on defense. The Frogs pulled within 11 points – 28-17. TCU scored again, 28-24. Would you believe the Frogs went up, 31-28? They did. And it was just the beginning of the 4th quarter. There was a whole quarter to go. Early in the 4th, TCU scored quickly and now led 38-28. But there was still 12:14 to go. But as I said, TCU’s defense got serious. So did K-States. But it was too late. TCU preserved its unblemished record, beating Kansas State, 38-28.
College football Week 8 began Wednesday night in Boone, North Carolina. Host Appalachian State got off to a slow start against Georgia State. App State trailed the Panthers 14-0 after quarter one and 14-7 at halftime. But the Little Mountaineers went on a rampage in the second half, outscoring Georgia State, 35-3. App State beat Georgia State, 42-17. App State running back Camerun Peoples rushed for 168 yards, scoring two touchdowns.
The two games on Thursday could not have been more boring. Between them, they produced a total of 41 points. Troy beat South Alabama, 10-6, and Virginia beat Georgia Tech, 16-9. Losing to Troy, South Alabama managed all of 31 yards rushing. Georgia Tech wasn’t much better. In the loss to Virginia, the Yellow Jackets managed no more than 60 yards rushing. Virginia quarterback Brennan Armstrong passed for 255 yards and rushed for 91 yards.
The first of two games on Friday night was an AAC encounter between Tulsa and Temple. After Temple jumped out to an early 10-0 lead, Tulsa came roaring back to outscore the Owls, 27-6. Tulsa beat Temple 27-16. Tulsa running back Deneric Prince rushed for 231 yards and two touchdowns.
The second game Friday night was a matchup between two C-USA teams – UAB and Western Kentucky. Like Temple, UAB jumped out to an early lead – 17-7. But WKU came roaring back to outscore the Blazers, 13-0. The Hilltoppers beat UAB, 20-17. UAB’s Dewayne McBride rushed for 197 yards.
In other action on Saturday, Cincinnati sure plays them close in the AAC. The Bearcats are 3-0 in conference play and they have won those three games by a combined 16 points – 10 points over Tulsa, 4 points over South Florida, and Saturday, Cincinnati beat SMU, 29-27.
And speaking of the AAC, Tulane continues to play well. The Green Wave downed Memphis, 38-28 to improve to 7-1 – 4-0 in conference play.
Baylor beat Kansas, 35-23. Without quarterback Jalon Daniels, Kansas can’t win. The Jayhawks began the season 5-0 and have now dropped 3-straight since Daniels has been out with injury. In the MWC, Boise State held off Air Force, 19-14.
And in the West Coast late shows, Oregon State beat Colorado, 42-9, while Washington got by California, 28-21. Washington’s Michael Penix passed for 374 yards and two touchdowns.
Six teams remain undefeated – Clemson, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, TCU and Tennessee. Tennessee and Georgia meet in Athens on November 5. Michigan plays Ohio State in Columbus on November 26. Three teams lost for the first time Saturday – Ole Miss, Syracuse and UCLA.
Charlotte, a member of C-USA, fired its head coach Will Healy. In 3+ years, Healy was 15-24 – 1-7 this season. Offensive line coach Pete Rossomando will serve as interim coach for the remainder of the season.
Kennesaw State, in Georgia, currently a FCS team, announced it is movin up to FBS and will join Conference USA.
LSU coach Brian Kelly says that instant replay is ruining the game. From a coaching perspective, Kelly feels instant replay is disrupting the flow of the game. I can see Kelly’s point. And from a fan’s perspective, instant replay is extending the time of the game. That and the more and more frequent injuries and TV commercials. The more frequent instant replays, injuries and TV commercials are causing officials to alter the rules of the game which will ultimately ruin the game.
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America. But I digress.
When Laura Rutledge made her appearance on “The Paul Finebaum Show” on Friday, Swamp Mama commented that Laura has recently colored her hair. I texted Swamp Mama’s comment to Rockledge Gator. He responded, “Laura has a lot of hair to color.” Laura continues to be a fascinating individual. Among some people.
The sports equinox is upon us – NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football and college basketball games are all being played at the current time. It’s the only time of the year this occurs. Enjoy!
Touchdown Tom
Weekend Recap
GAME OF THE WEEK: Benched – Clemson 27, Syracuse 21 (Touchdown Tom said: Clemson 30, Syracuse 27). Hats off to the defenses of both teams. They played well, especially Clemson’s. I can’t say so much for the offenses. They didn’t play so well. Syracuse’s offense was flatter than Clemson’s. Syracuse running back Sean Tucker was a no show. He only had 54 yards rushing. Syracuse quarterback Garrett Shrader passed for 167 yards and rushed for 71 yards. Turnovers hurt Clemson. Tigers quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei was benched for subpar play. Attendance in Clemson: 81,500
RUNNER-UP: The Bruins couldn’t avoid the Puddles – Oregon 45, UCLA 30 (Touchdown Tom said: Oregon 30, UCLA 24). Oregon is on a roll and the Ducks didn’t stop with UCLA.

The Magnolias wilted – LSU 45, Ole Miss 20 (Touchdown Tom said: LSU 37, Ole Miss 34). Ole Miss couldn’t stop LSU. The Tigers rushed for 252 yards and passed for 248 yards.

Taking care of business – Alabama 30, Mississippi State 6 (Touchdown Tom said: Alabama 28, Mississippi State 19). Alabama led 24-0 at the half and went into cruise control in the second half.

Grounded – Boise State 19, Air Force 14 (Touchdown Tom said: Air Force 31, Boise State 29). Boise State scored all 19 of its points in the first half. Air Force split 7 and 7. Neither team displayed a lot of offense. Attendance in Colorado Springs: 25,254

YE OLDE STOMPING GROUNDS:
Brown out – Texas Tech 48, West Virginia 10 (Touchdown Tom said: Texas Tech 35, West Virginia 30). I’m speechless. I don’t know what to say. I think the Mountaineers should apply for Federal Disaster Relief. The team is a disaster. Not a disaster waiting to happen. It has already happened. They are a disaster. I’m thinking J.T. Daniels is another Jarret Doege. Can’t move, slow on his feet and can’t evade defenders. His passing is inconsistent. He threw three interceptions against Tech. Four years and Neal Brown still doesn’t have a quarterback. The team is just sad – sad all over. Texas Tech had 598 total yards to 282 for WVU. Tech quarterback Behren Morton threw for 325 yards. Attendance in Lubbock: 56,530
A Cristobal fall – Duke 45, Miami (Florida) 21 (Touchdown Tom said: Miami 30, Duke 25). Duke led 17-7 at the half and outscored Miami 21-0 in the fourth quarter. In the second quarter, Miami lost quarterback Tyler Van Dyke to a shoulder injury. Duke quarterback Riley Leonard passed for 136 yards and one touchdown, and he rushed for 61 yards and three more touchdowns. Attendance in Miami Gardens: 57,421
Badgered – Wisconsin 35, Purdue 24 (Touchdown Tom said: Purdue 23, Wisconsin 20). Wisconsin led Purdue 28-3 before the Boilers decided to get serious. But it was too little too late for Purdue. Boilers quarterback Aidan O’Connell threw for 320 yards, but he also threw three interceptions. Attendance in Madison: 75,822
Week 8 Results: 10 winners, 3 fumbles (76.9 percent)

Quotes of the Week
“There’s nothing better than college football,” CBS NFL analyst and CBS Morning News co-host Nate Burleson.
“DJ’s our starter. DJ’s our leader. Ain’t nothing changed there. He just had one of them days. He’s got to clean up a few things he did today, but he will,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney on the status of his quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei, after the Syracuse game.
Touchdown Tom’s
Predictions for
GAME OF THE WEEK: 1. Ohio State (7-0) at Penn State (6-1) – (Big Ten vs. Big Ten) – 12 noon ET, Saturday, FOX – Penn State failed the Michigan test. Now the Nitts are taking the Ohio State test. At least this one is home and not on the road. That makes the test a little easier – but not much. Lose and the Nitts can forget going to the Big Ten title game, much less making the CFP. They’ll have to settle for a holiday bowl in Florida. No acing the Buckeye test – Ohio State 31, Penn State 19.
RUNNER-UP: 2. Kentucky (5-2) at Tennessee (7-0) – (SEC vs. SEC) – 7 pm ET, Saturday, ESPN – The longer you remain undefeated, the heavier the pressure gets. Tennessee has to be feeling some pressure. And Georgia is looming. The Dawgs can make you overlook some teams. But the Vols don’t overlook the Wildcats. They don’t like Kentucky – Tennessee 27, Kentucky 13.
REST OF THE BEST: 3. Oklahoma State (6-1) at Kansas State (5-2) – (Big 12 vs. Big 12) – 3:30 pm ET, Saturday, FOX – Oklahoma State has had some close calls. The Cowboys barely got by Texas. K-State won’t be any easier than Texas. Cowboys get on their horses just in time – Oklahoma State 31, Kansas State 27.
4. Cincinnati (6-1) at UCF (5-2) – (AAC vs. AAC) – 3:30 pm ET, Saturday, ESPN – Either team could lose here. The AAC teams have been playing the Bearcats close. UCF was obviously looking ahead to Cincy when they lost to East Carolina last week. It should be a Halloween thriller in the Bounce House. The Bearcats are thrilled; the Knights are chilled – Cincinnati 26, UCF 22.
5. Florida (4-3) vs. Georgia (7-0) – (SEC vs. SEC) – 3:30 pm ET, Saturday, CBS – Georgia should have no problem with Florida this year. The Gators have not been looking good. But they love to get up for Georgia. Uga enjoys Gator tail – Georgia 36, Florida 24.
6. Notre Dame (4-3) at Syracuse (6-1) – (Ind. vs. ACC) – 12 noon ET, Saturday, ABC – The Orange should get back on the winning track this week. They are home in the Dome. And this has not been a year for the Irish. Otto has the luck – Syracuse 23, Notre Dame 18.
7. Pitt (4-3) at North Carolina (6-1) – (ACC vs. ACC) – 8 pm ET, Saturday, ACCN – North Carolina has quietly been going about building a 6-1 season. The ACC is rather a quiet place. Pitt showed promise at first. But the Panthers have fallen off. How about a quiet 7-1 – North Carolina 30, Pitt 19.
8. Wake Forest (6-1) at Louisville (4-3) – (ACC vs. ACC) – 3:30 pm ET, Saturday, ACCN – Louisville coach Scott Satterfield is scrambling to save his job. He is on the edge looking over. Wake just may push him off. The Deacon delivers a sermon in Louisville – Wake Forest 30, Louisville 23.
9. Utah (5-2) at Washington State (4-3) – (Pac-12 vs. Pac-12) – 10 pm ET, Thursday, FS1 – Washington State is a feisty team. The Cougars gave Oregon a few headaches. Anything can happen in Pullman. This week, the Utes happen – Utah 38, Washington State 30.
10. Baylor (4-3) at Texas Tech (4-3) – (Big 12 vs. Big 12) – 7:30 pm ET, Saturday, ESPN2 – Tough call. If it were being played in Waco, I’d pick Baylor. But it is being played in Lubbock. So I pick the Red Raiders – Texas Tech 31, Baylor 29.
Keep an eye on these five games in Week 9: Louisiana (4-3) at Southern Miss (4-3) – (Sun Belt vs. Sun Belt) – 7:30 pm ET, Thursday, ESPN2…..Oklahoma (4-3) at Iowa State (3-4) – (Big 12 vs. Big 12) – 12 noon ET, Saturday, FS1…..Toledo (5-3) at Eastern Michigan (5-3) – (MAC vs. MAC) – 12 noon ET, Saturday, ESPNU…..Coastal Carolina (6-1) at Marshall (4-3) – (Sun Belt vs. Sun Belt) – 7 pm ET, Saturday, NFLN…..and Ole Miss (7-1) at Texas A&M (3-4) – (SEC vs. SEC) – 7:30 pm ET, Saturday, SECN.
YE OLDE STOMPING
GROUNDS:
TCU (7-0) at West Virginia (3-4) – (Big 12 vs. Big 12) – 12 noon ET, Saturday, ESPN – Just like Scott Satterfield, Neal Brown is scrambling to save his job. TCU won’t help him any. The Frogs will give him warts. Brown could use some moonshine – TCU 33, West Virginia 24.
Illinois (6-1) at Nebraska (3-4) – (Big Ten vs. Big Ten) – 3:30 pm ET, Saturday, ABC or ESPN – Both teams had the previous week off to prepare. Illinois doesn’t have much of an offense. But the Banned Indians play good defense. With Nebraska, you never know what you’re going to get. The Huskers are like a box of chocolates. Bielema loves chocolates – Illinois 21, Nebraska 18.
