College Football
Week 21 – See you in seven months
When adventure’s
lost its meaning
“In the quiet misty morning
When Scott Frost woke up in Dublin, Ireland, on the morning of August 27, 2022, little did he realize that it was the beginning of his end, coaching the Nebraska Cornhuskers. On that fateful day in Dublin, Nebraska lost to Northwestern, 31-28. With 9:09 to go in the third quarter, Nebraska led 28-17. The Huskers never scored again. And Northwestern never won again.
Dallas Morning News sports columnist Tim Cowlishaw wrote, “Northwestern versus Nebraska in Dublin. What did the Irish do to deserve this game?” Northwestern finished its season 1-11. The Wildcats only win was over, you got it, Nebraska.
Just 15 days later, after Nebraska’s 45-42 loss at home to Georgia Southern, Frost was fired. He was the first of 17 coaches who would be fired during the 2022 season.
And so, the 2022 season began.
Week 1 marked the resumption of the “Backyard Brawl.” Old rivals West Virginia and Pitt met for the first time since 2011. In a game featuring two former USC quarterbacks – J.T. Daniels and Kedon Slovis – and before the largest crowd ever to attend a football game in Pittsburgh (70,622), Pitt knocked off West Virginia, 38-31.
James Madison, Marshall, Old Dominion and Southern Miss commenced their first season in the Sun Belt Conference.
Georgia began, what would become its perfect 15-0 season, with a 49-3 win over Oregon. Ohio State got by Notre Dame 21-10. In two surprises, Florida beat Utah, 29-26, and Florida State upset LSU, 24-23.
The Florida win prompted Gators coach Billy Napier to say, “My wife could call the plays with Anthony Richardson at quarterback.” The LSU loss prompted Tigers coach Brian Kelly to say, “We’ve got some learning to do.” And LSU did.
In the wildest game of opening weekend, where 9 touchdowns were scored in the fourth quarter, North Carolina beat Appalachian State, 63-61. Trailing 63-55, Appalachian State scored with 0:09 left in the game, but failed to convert on the 2-point attempt.
Oh, and by the way, the season began with the news that UCLA and USC would be leaving the Pac-12 to join the Big Ten Conference in 2024. Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
Three Sun Belt Conference teams shocked the nation in Week 2. Marshall beat Notre Dame, 26-15, Appalachian State clipped Texas A&M, 17-14 and Georgia Southern surprised Nebraska, 45-42. It was quite a Saturday for the Group of Five conference.
In the big game, Alabama kicked a 33-yard field goal with 0:10 left in the game to beat Texas, 20-19. Texas played most of the game with backup quarterback Hudson Card. Starter Quinn Ewers left the game with an injury.
Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford played a masterful game in Week 3. Clifford was nothing short of a genius as he picked apart the Auburn defense. The Nittany Lions beat the Tigers, 41-12. USA Today sports columnist Dan Wolken said, “Auburn has become bad and boring with no hope on the horizon.” On Auburn coach Bryan Harsin, Paul Finebaum said, “It’s not if, but when he gets fired.”
Wake Forest suffered its first loss in Week 4. But it was close. The Demon Deacons fell to Clemson, 51-45 (2OT). USC scored with 1:13 left on the clock to beat Oregon State, 17-14.
In a game reminiscent of the North Carolina-Appalachian State wild ending, Ohio beat Fordham, 59-52. Trailing 52-46, Ohio scored two touchdowns in the final 53 second of the game. The teams combined for 1,332 total yards.
And trailing Washington State 34-22, Oregon scored three touchdowns in two minutes and forty-nine seconds to beat the Cougars, 44-41. Oh yes, Middle Tennessee knocked off Miami (Florida) 45-31. The heat was on first-year coach Mario Cristobal.
North Carolina freshman quarterback Drake Maye was having a great season. Maye was making a name for himself with his quarterbacking and his talking. Speaking about UNC’s intrastate rival, Maye said, “Whether you want to admit it or not, growing up in Carolina, you’re gonna be a Carolina fan. Some people may say State, but really, people who go to State just can’t get into Carolina.” NC State would get its paybacks nine weeks later.
Hurricane Ian played havoc with games in Florida during Week 5. Many games were rescheduled, and one was relocated.
Elsewhere, Jimbo Fisher’s stock continued to fall. Mississippi State beat Texas A&M, 42-24. And Kansas, yes Kansas, was still undefeated at 5-0.
Arch Manning, son of Cooper, grandson of Archie and nephew of Peyton and Eli, was continuing to break records at his high school in New Orleans. Earlier, Arch announced his commitment to Texas.
Watching Laura Rutledge on TV, Rockledge Gator was heard to say, “She gets better looking every year.” But the two-timing Rockledge later said, “Molly McGrath sure is a cutie.”
By Week 6, the honeymoons were over for Oklahoma’s Brent Venables, Arkansas’ Sam Pittman, Miami’s Mario Cristobal and Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher. Oklahoma fell to 0-3 in the Big 12, losing to Texas, 49-0. Arkansas lost its third-straight game. Mississippi State put a hurtin’ on the Hogs, 40-17. Miami and Texas A&M lost their third-straight games. CBS Sports Rick Neuheisel said, “Texas A&M couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat.”
Conversely, Josh Heupel, Chip Kelly and Sonny Dykes were still celebrating their honeymoons. Tennessee (5-0) blasted LSU, 40-17. UCLA (6-0) upset Utah, 42-32, and TCU (5-0) knocked off previously undefeated Kansas, 38-31.
And Rockledge Gator said, “Did you see Laura in her thigh-high boots!”
“When the summer’s ceased its gleaming
Tennessee, TCU and Utah knocked our socks off in Week 7. Tennessee shocked Alabama, 52-49, kicking a 40-yard field goal as time expired. TCU rallied to beat Oklahoma State 43-40 (2OT), and Utah was successful on a 2-point conversion near the end of the game to beat USC, 43-42. Tennessee and TCU were still undefeated. Alabama and USC suffered their first loss.
In Gainesville, Rockledge Gator, Bootsie, Swamp Mama and I watched Florida lose to LSU, 45-35.
In a battle of undefeated teams during Week 8, Clemson had to pull quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei and replace him with Cade Klubnik to beat Syracuse, 27-21. Clemson was trailing Syracuse, 21-10, when Klubnik replaced Uiagalelei.
Oregon won its 7th-straight game, averaging 49 points a game along the way, beating previously undefeated UCLA, 45-30. TCU and Kansas State gave us a thriller. Ultimately, the Frogs remained undefeated, beating Kansas State, 38-28.
When Laura Rutledge made her appearance on The Paul Finebaum Show on Friday, Swamp Mama commented that Laura had recently colored her hair. I informed Rockledge Gator. He replied, “Laura has a lot of hair to color.”
And in Week 8, the sports equinox was upon us – NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football and college basketball games were all being played at the same time. It’s the only time of the year this occurs.
Penn State gave Ohio State all the Buckeyes could handle for three-plus quarters. Early in the fourth quarter, Penn State led Ohio State, 21-16. But the remainder of the fourth quarter was all Buckeyes. Ohio State beat Penn State, 44-31.
Elsewhere in Week 9, Tennessee warmed up for Georgia by crushing Kentucky, 44-6. At the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party on the banks of the St. Johns, Georgia beat Florida, 42-20.
Week 10 was “Shake-up Saturday” in college football. Three of the Top 6 teams in the CFP Poll lost. Altogether, nine teams ranked in the CFP Poll lost.
No. 1 Tennessee lost to Georgia, 27-13. No. 4 Clemson lost to Notre Dame, 35-14. No. 6 Alabama, lost to LSU, 32-31 (OT). LSU was successful on a 2-point conversion. We figured the Clemson and Alabama losses eliminated the Tigers and the Tide from any chance of making the playoff.
In sloppy weather in Evanston, Ohio State had a strange 21-7 win over Northwestern. TCU rallied again, this time to beat Texas Tech, 34-24. In a wild game in the AAC, SMU outlasted Houston, 77-63. SMU quarterback Tanner Mordecai had nine passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. The teams combined for 1,352 total yards and 65 first downs.
Quarterbacks E.J. Warner (Temple), Drake Maye (North Carolina) and Bo Nix (Oregon) all had great games in wins for their teams. Warner is Kurt Warner’s son.
With a 13-7 win over Army, Air Force claimed the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy. The Falcons beat Navy earlier in the season. Florida State improved to 6-3, beating Miami (Florida), 45-3.
Auburn coach Bryan Harsin was fired.
In Week 11, the state of Florida took another hit. This time from Hurricane Nicole. Nicole was a fast mover and unlike Hurricane Ian, Nicole didn’t impact any football games.
In the northwest, Washington kicked a 43-yard field goal with 51 seconds left to beat Oregon, 37-34. Going into the game, Oregon was No. 6 in the CFP Poll. Tulane lost a thriller to UCF, 38-31. Vanderbilt, winless in the SEC, knocked off Kentucky, 24-21.
Just when it looked like the playoff hopes and chances of Michigan and TCU would come to an end in Week 12, a miracle occurred. The Wolverines and Horned Frogs were living on a prayer. Trailing Illinois 17-16 with 0:09 left in the game, Michigan kicked a 35-yard field goal to beat Illinois, 19-17. Trailing Baylor 28-26, TCU kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired to beat the Bears, 29-28.
Georgia struggled to beat Kentucky, 16-6. Ohio State struggled to beat Maryland 43-30. The Buckeyes only led 33-30 with a minute to go in the game. Then the unexpected happened. South Carolina beat Tennessee, 63-38. There went Tennessee’s chances for making the playoff, as Beamer Ball surfaced in Columbia.
In a game for the ages in the Rose Bowl, USC beat UCLA in a donnybrook, 48-45. USC quarterback Caleb Williams put on a Heisman-winning performance. Williams passed for 470 yards, completing 74.4% of his passes. Oregon kicked a field goal in the fourth quarter to beat Utah, 20-17.
With 0:28 left in the game, Iowa kicked a 21-yard field goal to beat Minnesota, 13-10. In the “Big Game,” California beat Stanford, 27-20. As the fourth quarter began, Cal trailed Stanford, 17-6. And in “The Game,” Yale downed Harvard, 19-14. Yale trailed Harvard, 14-13, in the fourth quarter.
“Bind me not to the pasture
Thanksgiving Week (Week 13) – the last college football week of the season. Princess Gator, Gator Gabe and Gator Babe drove down to the coast of east-central Florida to be with Swamp Mama and me for Turkey Week.
Lane Kiffin was dominating the news. Would he go to Auburn or not? Mike Leach and his Mississippi State Bulldogs won the Egg Bowl, defeating the Ole Miss Magnolias, 24-22. Does Auburn really want Kiffin?
Om the Friday after Thanksgiving, Tulane, the Cinderella team of 2022, beat Cincinnati, 27-24. The win gave the Green Wave the regular season championship of the AAC. NC State took out its revenge on Drake Maye’s mouth. The Wolfpack upset the Tar Heels, 30-27. It was NC State’s fifth win over North Carolina in the last seven years.
Missouri surprised Arkansas, 29-27, and Nebraska surprised Iowa, 24-17. Nebraska broke a seven-game losing streak to the Hawkeyes. Florida and Florida State put on a good game in Tallahassee. When it was over, FSU prevailed, 45-38.
The drama was over at Auburn. Saturday morning after Thanksgiving Hugh Freeze was named the next coach of the Tigers. Meanwhile, Matt Rhule became the new coach at Nebraska.
South Carolina continued its winning pace. The Gamecocks upset Clemson, 31-30. South Carolina trailed throughout the game until the fourth quarter. In the Big Ten battle, Michigan broke open a close game to rout Ohio State, 45-23. It was the Buckeyes first loss. In Stillwater, West Virginia surprised Oklahoma State, 24-19.
The upsets continued, as Oregon State knocked off Oregon, 38-34. Duke, a surprise team in 2022, finished its season at 8-4, beating Wake Forest, 34-31. After scoring a rushing touchdown, USC quarterback Caleb Williams briefly struck the Heisman pose, as the Trojans beat Notre Dame, 38-27. Texas A&M upset LSU, 38-23. Washington won the Apple Cup, beating Washington State, 51-33. The Huskies and their quarterback Michael Penix had a great season.
Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell was named the new coach at Wisconsin. The Badgers had fired Paul Chryst earlier in the season.
A week after Thanksgiving, the 10 conference championship games highlighted Week 14. The Power Five Conference winners were Clemson, Kansas State, Michigan, Utah and Georgia. Undefeated Georgia and Michigan, the only two undefeated teams in the country, were shoe-ins for the playoff. But who would get the other two spots? USC’s loss to Utah in the Pac-12 title game appeared to have knocked the Trojans out of the playoff. TCU lost to Kansas State in the Big 12 title game. Would the Frogs hang in there?
Along with Georgia (1) and Michigan (2), TCU (3) and Ohio State (4) became the other two playoff teams.
Tulane got revenge on UCF, beating the Knights in the AAC championship game, 45-28. As the highest-ranked Group of Five team, Tulane got a spot in a New Year’s Six bowl – the Cotton Bowl Classic.
We learned in Week 14 that 2023 would be the last season with a four-team playoff. Beginning with the 2024 season, there will be a 12-team playoff consisting of the six highest-ranked conference champions, along with the six highest-ranked at large teams. The four highest-ranked conference champions will have a first-round bye.
A number of other new coaches were named in Week 14, including Deion Sanders at Colorado and Tom Herman at Florida Atlantic.
In Week 15, Army beat Navy, 20-17 (2OT). With Navy winning 10-7, Army kicked a 37-yard field goal with 1:57 left to tie the score 10-10 and ultimately put the game into overtime. Navy fired coach Ken Niumatalolo in the locker room immediately after the game.
USC quarterback Caleb Williams was named the winner of the Heisman Trophy. TCU quarterback Max Duggan came in second in the voting.
Bowl mania began in Week 16 as the first eight of 41 bowl games were played. Of significance Oregon State beat Florida, 30-3 in the Las Vegas Bowl. Fresno State beat Washington State, 29-6, in the L.A. Bowl, and BYU edged SMU, 24-23, in the New Mexico Bowl.
Mississippi State coach Mike Leach died from a massive heart attack. Leach had just completed his third season with the Bulldogs. New UNLV coach Barry Odom named Bobby Petrino his offensive coordinator.
Argentina won soccer’s World Cup.
“If you find it’s me you’re missing
Eight more bowl games were played in Week 17. Of note, Air Force beat Baylor, 30-15, in the Armed Forces Bowl. J.T. Daniels, who quarterbacked West Virginia for most of the 2022 season announced he was transferring to Rice. NC State quarterback Devin Leary announced he was transferring to Kentucky. In other quarterback transfers: Wisconsin’s Graham Mertz to Florida, Clemson’s D.J. Uiagalelei to Oregon State and Pitt’s Kedon Slovis to BYU.
Talking about Clemson, coach Dabo Swinney said, “We built this program on NIL.”
Swamp Mama and I drove to the Florida panhandle to spend Christmas with Princess Gator, Gator Gabe and Gator Babe. Christmas Eve morning, we woke to a temperature of 17°. Christmas morning was a little better – 22°.
The remainder of the 41 bowl games were played during Week 18. The Big Ten was denied again as Michigan and Ohio State both lost in the CFP semifinal games. With just three seconds on the clock, Ohio State missed a 50-yard field goal and Georgia beat the Buckeyes, 52-51. Just two minutes and forty seconds earlier, the Ohio State kicker, Noah Ruggles, kicked a 48-yard field goal. In the TCU-Michigan game, the replay review official erroneously overruled a Michigan touchdown, which enabled TCU to beat the Wolverines, 51-45.
We were so close to having a Michigan-Ohio State national championship game. Instead, we had a Georgia-TCU title game.
Two days after Christmas, Swamp Mama and I left the Florida panhandle, driving back to the coast of east-central Florida. It was 30° when we left. When we pulled into our driveway, six or seven hours later, it was 66°.
In other bowl games of note, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian was trashed on social media after Washington beat the Longhorns, 27-20, in the San Antonio Bowl. Tulane surprised Caleb Williams and USC in the Cotton Bowl Classic. The Green Wave beat the Trojans in the final 9 seconds of the game, 46-45.
The Liberty Bowl produced 108 points and three overtimes. Trailing Arkansas, 31-13, at the half, Kansas rallied in the second half to tie Arkansas, 38-38, before losing to the Razorbacks, 55-53 (3OT).
And in the NBA, the Dallas Mavericks Luka Doncic scored 60 points and added 21 rebounds and 10 assists, as Dallas beat the New York Knicks. That’s something that has never been done before.
We took a brief break during Week 19, building up to the national championship game.
My how fast the season flew by. Just like that, we were down to the final week of college football – Georgia vs. TCU for the national championship in Week 20. Unfortunately for the Frogs, the game was over before it began. Georgia gigged TCU to the tune of 65-7. The Dawgs won their second-consecutive national championship.
Rockledge Gator could hardly control himself, as both Laura Rutledge and Molly McGrath were at the game.
In one final note on the 2022 season, Bobby Petrino, who had just accepted the offensive coordinator position at UNLV 30 days earlier, left UNLV to become Jimbo Fisher’s offensive coordinator at Texas A&M. What goes around, comes around.
With that, the 2022 college football season came to an end.
“Then the wind will set me racing
What does the 2023 season have in store for us. Well, for starters, it will be the last season of the four-team playoff. The 12-team playoff begins in 2024.
2023 will be the final season for UCLA and USC to compete in the Pac-12 Conference. UCLA and USC have been members of the Pac-12 going back to the 1920s when the conference was the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) and included members Idaho and Montana. Montana departed in 1950 and Idaho left the conference in 1959. Then the PCC morphed into the Pac-8, the Pac-10 and ultimately the Pac-12.
BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF will have their debut seasons in the Big 12 Conference, as the Big 12 jumps from 10 to 14 teams in 2023. But only for a year or two. Oklahoma and Texas will leave for the SEC in 2024 or 2025.
Georgia is the hands down favorite to win the national championship again in 2023. The schedule is made in the shade for the Dawgs. With non-conference games against the likes of UT Martin, Ball State, UAB and Georgia Tech, and Tennessee being the only tough game in the SEC, Georgia seems to have a clear path to the playoff. Easy peasy, Georgia.
Should Georgia win it all again, it would be a three-peat for the Dawgs. The only purely uncontested three-peat national championship since 1900 belongs to Minnesota – 1934, 1935 and 1936.
West Virginia’s Neal Brown, Texas’ Steve Sarkisian, Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher and California’s Justin Wilcox among other coaches will enter the 2023 season on the hot seat. Miami’s Mario Cristobal, Oklahoma’s Brent Venables, Michigan State’s Mel Tucker and Florida’s Billy Napier will begin the season on the warm seat.
There will be 24 first-year coaches in 2023, but all eyes will closely watch four of them – Nebraska’s Matt Rhule, Wisconsin’s Luke Fickell, Colorado’s Deion Sanders and Auburn’s Hugh Freeze.
Speaking of longevity, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz will begin his 25th season with the Hawkeyes in 2023. Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy and Utah’s Kyle Whittingham will begin their 19th seasons in Stillwater and Salt Lake City respectively. It will be the 18th season for Pat Fitzgerald at Northwestern and Rick Stockstill at Middle Tennessee. And the 17th season for Air Force’s Troy Calhoun and Alabama’s Nick Saban at their schools. Those coaches have lasting power.
And speaking of St. Nick, Saban will turn 72 during the season in 2023. He is the elder statesman of the longevity group. Saban has three years on Ferentz and six years on Stockstill.
Some quarterbacks to keep your eyes on in 2023 are North Carolina’s Drake Maye, Duke’s Riley Leonard, Oregon’s Bo Nix, Tulane’s Michael Pratt, Clemson’s Cade Klubnik, Kansas State’s Will Howard, Texas’ Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning, Washington’s Michael Penix, Utah’s Camerun Rising, LSU’s Jayden Daniels, Kansas’ Jalon Daniels, Florida State’s Jordan Travis, Oklahoma’s Dillon Gabriel, Temple’s E.J. Warner, South Carolina’s Spencer Rattler, USC’s Caleb Williams and Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy. Surely, there is a Heisman Trophy winner (or repeat winner) in that group.
In Tallahassee, Florida State returned to glory in 2022, finishing in the Top 10 at the end of the season. The Noles should be a powerhouse in 2023.
Will USC’s Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma’s Brent Venables find a defense in 2023?
Will Iowa and Illinois find an offense in 2023? Will Clemson find an offense?
Will Duke, Kansas and Tulane, the “little darlin’s” and surprises of 2022 find success again in 2023? Or were they “one-hit wonders”?
Navy and Notre Dame will open the 2023 season on August 26 – Week 0 – in Dublin, Irerland. Navy will be under first-year coach Brian Newberry and Notre Dame will be under second-year coach Marcus Freeman.
The season will get off to a big start, as usual, over Labor Day Weekend – August 31-September 3. Some interesting games that weekend include, South Carolina vs. North Carolina in Charlotte, West Virginia at Penn State, Colorado at TCU and LSU vs. Florida State in Orlando. Ironically, both Florida State and LSU each ended their 2022 seasons with victories in Orlando – Florida State over Oklahoma in the Cheez-It Bowl and LSU over Purdue in the Citrus Bowl. Now they will begin their 2023 seasons in Orlando.
Some intriguing games in Week 2 include, Texas A&M at Miami (Florida), Utah at Baylor, Texas at Alabama and Oregon at Texas Tech – all on September 9. Week 3 offers Minnesota at North Carolina on September 16.
And on November 4, it will be the Gamecocks vs. the Gamecocks when Jacksonville State, coached by Rich Rodriguez, plays South Carolina. Cocky will be confused.
2023 will be a fascinating season.
During the 2022 season, we lost so many friends – some connected to football, some not. But all left us with so many good memories. We won’t forget Purdue and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson, Princeton basketball coach Pete Carril, Kentucky and Baylor football coach Guy Morriss, Queen Elizabeth II, jazz musician Ramsey Lewis, Los Angeles Dodgers baseball player Maury Wills, singer/piano player Jerry Lee Lewis, Georgia football coach Vince Dooley and Southern Miss and Oakland Raiders punter Ray Guy.
Also, Nazareth front man and lead singer Dan McCafferty, MLB pitcher Gaylord Perry, Kansas and NFL quarterback John Hadl, Fleetwood Mac singer/musician Christine McVie, Penn State and Pittsburgh Steelers football player Franco Harris, Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach, soccer great Pele, broadcast journalist Barbara Walters, astronaut Walter Cunningham, guitarist Jeff Beck and USC running back and Heisman Trophy winner Charles White. May you rest in peace.
Meanwhile, as Scott Frost wakes up in Phoenix, Arizona, on January 16, 2023, he is a man without a job. But he is a man with a new house. In late December, Frost and his wife purchased a $5.4 million, 7,500-square-foot house in the suburbs of Phoenix. As the season came to an end, Frost had his name in the ring for a number of the Group of Five vacancies. But an offer never came along. There have been rumors that Frost could end up as an offensive coordinator somewhere. Others say he would prefer to play golf. Stay tuned!
