College Football: Week 3

Minnesota 28, Western Michigan 23 - F

The Gophers are up to 3-0 after holding on to defeat Western Michigan at the Bank.  It was a costly win as Marqueis Gray went down with what is being called a high ankle sprain.  Max Shortell came into the game and played quite well in relief, throwing 2 TDs to AJ Barker in the first half.  Shortell completely changes the offense for the Gophers, as he's much more of a standard pocket passing QB, but he does still have scrambling abilities and this could end up being a blessing in disguise for Minnesota.

NFL: Week 2

Bears 10
Packers 23 - F

The Pack rebounded nicely against the Bears on Thursday at Lambeau Field.  The defense totaled 7 sacks and 4 picks of Jay Cutler, who looked frustrated and distraught throughout the game.  What was troubling again is that the offense was held in check for stretches of the game as well, though this could be attributed to the high level of the defenses faced so far.  In fact, the only Packers TD of the first half was a fake field goal where punter Tim Masthay pitched the ball to backup TE Tom Crabtree.
