**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a college football Saturday

13) Purdue 49, Ohio State 20— Boilermakers led this game 14-3 at halftime; Ohio State threw 73 passes, ran ball only 25 times in an ugly loss.

Ohio State threw 73 passes? Woody Hayes must be turning over in his grave.

Chances are there is lot going on behind the scenes in Columbus:
— Urban Meyer didn’t coach the first three games (suspended) this season.
— Star DE Joey Rosa bolted school this week to get ready for the NFL Draft
— Buckeyes have a freshman QB from Las Vegas sitting on the bench who is more of a runner; could it be they’re going to use him in packages, to balance out their offense?

12) Michigan 21, Michigan State 7— Spartans ran 51 plays in this game, for only 94 yards- they were 0-12 on third down, completed only 7-28 passes, ran ball 23 times for 15 yards. Just total domination by Michigan’s defense.

In their last two games, Michigan opponents completed 14-48 passes.

There was a 65-minute lightning delay in the first quarter; don’t think it had an effect on the outcome.

11) Washington State 34, Oregon 20— ESPN’s Game Day was in Pullman Saturday morning; the crowd was estimated at “over 40,000 people” and the show started before the sun came out in the western time zone. These are the glory days for Wazzu football, and they had Drew Bledsoe play there in the 90’s.

Mike Leach makes $2.95M a year; he went 84-43 at Texas Tech, is 43-39 at Washington State; ain’t easy to win at the big-time level in Lubbock and/or Pullman. Wazzu was 9-40 the four years before Leach arrived— keep that in mind.

10) LSU 19, Mississippi State 3— Bayou Bengals have a kicker named Cole Tracy who is a grad transfer from Assumption, a small school in Worcester, MA. He may be the only person in the history of man to transfer from Assumption to LSU, especially to play football.

9) Old Dominion 37, Western Kentucky 34— You won’t see a stranger end to a game.

Hilltoppers scored a TD run to go ahead 34-27 with 1:37 left.

Old Dominion came back and tied the game 34-34 on a TD pass with 0:10 left.

WKU missed a long FG at the gun, but the Monarchs had 12 men on the field, so Hilltoppers got another try to win the game.

WKU misses the next kick short; Old Dominion runs the ball all the way back to the Hilltopper 15-yard line, and there is a facemark penalty on the play against WKU, so they get to kick the game-winning FG.

Damn, thats a brutal way to lose.

8) Marshall 31, Florida Atlantic 7— Yardage was about even here, but Owls were -5 in turnovers; Marshall’s first three TD drives were only 43-27-13 yards.

You go minus-5 in turnovers, you’re going to lose.

7) Upsets of the Week:
— Purdue (+13.5) 49, Ohio State 20— Fun night in West Lafayette, ya think?
— Virginia (+7) 28, Duke 14
— SMU (+7) 27, Tulane 23
— Old Dominion (+5) 37, Western Kentucky 34

6) Syracuse 40, North Carolina 37 OT— Orangemen tied game on a 42-yard TD pass with 1:39 left in regulation, then won the game in OT to improve their record to 5-2. UNC is 1-5, losing its last two games by three points each.

5) Army 31, Miami OH 30 OT— Miami scored TD in OT to make scored 31-30, then went for two points and the win instead of the tying PAT- they didn’t get it, so they lose.

Not a fan of going for two there, especially since Miami was playing a service academy, so chances are Miami has a better kicker than Army.

Akron 24, Kent State 23 OT— Golden Flashes did same damn thing, and they lost, too.

4) Penn State 33, Indiana 28— Hoosiers passed up an easy FG with about 2:00 left in first half, but got ball back, then screwed up their clock management and never got a FG attempt off. They will be sick thinking about the chances they squandered in this game.

Indiana had 32 first downs; they outgained Penn State 554-417. But they lost, turning ball over three times and going 9-21 on third down.

3) Alabama 58, Tennessee 21— Why are Alabama games always on TV? They’re boring as hell; Alabama is so much better than everyone else, their games suck to watch. Total yardage in the first quarter of this game was 217-6.

Crimson Tide’s first TD came 4:02 into the game; that was the longest Alabama has gone all season before scoring their first TD of a game.

That Alabama-Citadel game on November 17 should be awesome.

2) Houston 49, Navy 36— Middies led this game 24-21 at halftime; didn’t even cover the 12.5-point spread. This is Navy’s worst team maybe since a 2-10 team in 2002.

1) Dodgers-Red Sox World Series; the TV moguls have to be pleased.
