Good Games and Upsets (Week 12)

Image
                To start things off, we go to Madison, WI where No. 1 Oregon took on and unranked Wisconsin team. Oregon took an early lead against the Badgers after kicking two field goals, making the score 6-0 at the end of the first quarter. Wisconsin would make it interesting though, after kicking a field goal and then scoring a touchdown, making the score 10-6 at halftime. In the second half, Wisconsin would kick a field goal, extending their lead 13-6. That's all the scoring the Badgers would do, but the Ducks came back and won the game 16-13, remaining undefeated and the undisputed number one team in the country.                    Next, we head to Provo, Utah where the unranked Kansas Jayhawks took on the undefeated and No. 6, BYU Cougars. Kansas jumped out to an early lead when they scored a touchdown in the first quarter. BYU would come back and kick a field goal and then an una...

Unlikeliness, Upsets, and Undefeated (Week 11 CFB)

Image
                To start things off in our Week 11 recap, we go to Atlanta where Miami (FL) took on Georgia Tech. Miami looked to remain unbeaten and get double digit wins on the season. Georgia Tech started off hot, scoring a touchdown two minutes into the game, but their lead wouldn't last long as Miami scored a minute later. Georgia Tech ended up taking the lead at halftime 14-10 and never gave it up again. They ended up winning 28-23, pulling off the upset and ruining Miami's perfect season.                Next up, we stick with the state of Georgia with Georgia vs. Ole Miss. This time, the team from Georgia wasn't so lucky. Although they went into the game as a heavy favorite and the number 3 team in the country, they could not hold off Jaxson Dart and Ole Miss. Georgia got off to a hot start, going up 7-0, but quickly gave up the lead and never got it back. Ole Miss ended up winning this matc...

Double Digit Weeks, Double the Action (Week 10)

Image
                To start things off, we go to the city where College Gameday was hosted, in University City, Pennsylvania. Everyone knows if Gameday is in your city, you are in for a great game. Nobody was disappointed with this game, well except for Penn State fans. Although they took an early lead 10-0, they quickly gave up the lead with two unanswered touchdowns. Ohio State ended up taking the game 20-13. Penn State is still hopeful for a playoff spot, despite  their loss.                     Next up, we have Louisville vs. Clemson. Louisville went into the Clemson game 5-3 and kind of disappointing.  Clemson was having a decent year at 6-1 and hopeful to make the playoff. Louisville had other plans, though as they took the lead in the second quarter and never gave it up. They ended up closing the deal and winning 33-21.             ...

Week 9 Updates

Image
                This week in college football, we had many favorites winning, but still filled with a lot of action. To start things off, we had No. 25 Vanderbilt playing against No. 5 Texas. As we all know, Vanderbilt beat Alabama earlier this year, and was looking to continue their upset run this week in Nashville. Their crazy run would unfortunately end in a thrilling game where Texas won 27-24. This dropped Vanderbilt out of the Top 25 and moved Texas down one spot, despite winning.                    Next up, we have Penn State vs. Wisconsin in a Big 10 matchup. Penn State went into this game as the number three team in the country with high hopes of a national championship. They looked to remain undefeated against a tough Wisconsin team. Wisconsin went up 3-0 after the first quarter, but Penn State came back and held on to win 28-13. Penn State remains the number three team in the T...

Week 8 CFB

Image
                To start things off this week, we go down south to the great state of Tennessee. Here, the Tennessee Volunteers took on the Alabama Crimson Tide in a rivalry game. This matchup is considered one of the best rivalries in college football. This game was back and forth, with turnovers, good defense and decent offense. Tennessee was down 17-14 in the fourth quarter but scored a touchdown to take the lead with five minutes left in the game. They stopped Alabama on their comeback attempt and kicked a field goal to ultimately win 24-17. This matchup never disappoints and we can't wait until we get to see it again.                    Next up, we head to Austin, Texas. Texas went into their game against Georgia ranked number one in the country. They hoped to stay undefeated and remain the number one team. Georgia had other plans, though and rolled through them like they weren't eve...

Conference Clashes: Week 7 College Football

Image
                This week in college football starts off with the Heisman Trophy favorite, Ashton Jeanty, and the Boise State Broncos beating up on Hawaii in a Mountain West Conference matchup. Normally you wouldn't see a non-Power 5 conference matchup get featured like this, but when your running back is on pace to break history, people take notice. Jeanty has rushed for 1,248 yards and 17 touchdowns in just six games so far. He is on pace to break Barry Sanders' rushing record set in 1988, which was 2,628 yards. Jeanty is performing at a level we have not seen in a long time, so it is only right to give him the recognition he deserves.               Next up is Penn State vs USC in a Big 10 matchup. It was the two teams' first meeting since the Rose Bowl in 2017 when USC won on a walk-off field goal. Penn State would hope to get revenge on their trip back to Southern California. USC started off hot, le...

Unranked Frenzy: Week 6 CFB

Image
                Starting off the madness of week 6, we have Vanderbilt vs. Alabama. Alabama came into week 6 undefeated and the number-one team in the country. They looked to be the clear favorite to go to the National Championship with the help of star Freshman receiver, Ryan Williams, and quarterback, Jalen Milroe. This didn't intimidate Vanderbilt in any way, though, beating them 40-35. Vanderbilt had never beaten an opponent who was ranked No. 1 in the country in program history, so this was extraordinary for them to do.               Next up is Arkansas vs. Tennessee. Tennessee came into this game with high hopes of being ranked No. 1 after this week. This would all change when an unranked Arkansas team held on and beat them 19-14. Tennessee wanted to prove its critics wrong about the assumption that they underperform at least once a year. Unfortunately for them, this will have to wait until next y...
