College Football Week 2

Minnesota 44, New Hampshire 7 - F

The Gophers run their record to 2-0 after a drubbing of the Wildcats in Minneapolis.  It was a pretty entertaining game throughout and the constant wind made it fairly cool out as well, because I wore pants.  Marqueis Gray totaled 4 TDs and showed why he's the focal point of the Gophers offense.  3-0 looks in reach when we take on Western Michigan next week.

#4 Oregon 42, Fresno St. 25 - F

The Ducks rolled again over a cupcake opponent.  Once again Kenjon Barner and De'Anthony Thomas ran roughshod over the opposing defense and showed that the Ducks offense has lost nothing since last year.  Tennessee Tech awaits.

Other Notables:

Oregon St. 10, #13 Wisconsin 7 - F

#6 Florida St. 55, Savannah St. 0 - F

Louisiana-Monroe 34, #8 Arkansas 31 - F/OT

NFL Week 1

The NFL is back, I'll comment on the Packer game every week as well as some other notable games.

49ers 30
Packers 22 - F

Alex Smith and the Niners offense made the Packers D look just as they did last year, getting torched over and over again.  They also managed to stifle Aaron Rodgers and the Packers O for most of the game, including a CRITICAL late-game interception that allowed the 49ers to score and go up by 15, when the Packers had finally gained the momentum, it effectively ended the game.  Randall Cobb had a spectacular game, accumulating 9 receptions for 77 yards, along with 73 kick return yards and 80 punt return yards, for a total of 230 yards.  This could be the coming out party for the beginning of a spectacular young star, he was routinely the most exciting player on the field for the Pack.  Clay Matthews and the defense totaled 3 sacks, but the pass coverage was still full of holes and made Alex Smith look like an MVP candidate.

49ers - Packers Overview
Redskins 40
Saints 32 - F

Robert Griffin III looked spectacular in his rookie debut, throwing for 320 yards and 2 TDs.  This could be the beginning of a disappointing season for the Saints, as Drew Brees completed less than 50% of his passes.

Bills 28
Jets 48 - F

Falcons 40
Chiefs 24 - F
