Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend
13) Jets had 17-yard edge in average field position in first half at Foxboro Sunday, a huge edge, but still trailed 17-10 at half.
12) Eagles, Cowboys were only NFL teams to start same five guys on offensive line all season long.
11) Eagles signed Koy Detmer, just to be the holder for kicks, as the PAT has suddenly become interesting again, after the Cowboys' debacle Saturday night, and Cincinnati's blunder at Denver, that cost them a playoff berth. .
10) Speaking of which, how happy were the Colts to see the Chiefs come to town, instead of the Bengals or Denver?
9) Big East teams went 5-1 in bowls, C-USA teams went 1-4.
8) Ominous sign for Duke; they had 22 turnovers at home in OT loss to Virginia Tech Saturday; Hokies had six.
7) Arizona shot 60-61-65% in first three Pac-10 games, but in loss at Washington State Saturday, they shot only 39.4%, as Tony Bennett's club looms as sleeper in Pac-10.
6) If you want to beat Ohio State this season, you better be a good shooting club from perimeter, because Greg Oden owns the paint. Illinois was 3-23 from arc Saturday, shot 24.1% from floor, and got crushed at home by the Buckeyes.
5) Bad news for Oregon State, which is 0-3 in Pac-10 after it got clubbed 91-46 by USC; worse news is that all three losses were in Corvallis, and Beavers are usually worse on road.
4) Cleveland State led 44-31 at half in Green Bay Saturday, but got outscored 34-9 in second half of 65-53 loss. Yuk.
3) Tennessee St ended losing streak Saturday; they had lost three games in a row when they had double digit lead at half.
2) Not sure what all the fuss is about Bobby Petrino, but if I owned Falcons, I'd have had Michael Vick sit in on interviews with coaching candidates, since the coach is doomed unless he can somehow inspire Vick to play better. Good luck.
1) If you owned the Giants, would you bring Coughlin back?
