Around the League CFB & NFL (9/28-9/29)

 


            Week 5 in College Football was nothing short of thrilling. To start things off, we had a matchup between No. 5 Alabama and No. 2 Georgia in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This game got off to a fast start when Alabama went up 21-0 after the first quarter. It took Georgia a while to find the endzone, but they ended up coming back and scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter. This didn't last long, though, as Alabama immediately scored on the first play after they gave up the lead. Georgia would run it down the field, but threw an interception in the end-zone to seal the win for Alabama.



                No. 13 USC faced off against a solid Wisconsin team this week. USC looked shaky for the second consecutive week in the first half, as they were down 21-10 at halftime. The biggest question mark has been the defense for USC, but they proved their critics wrong in the second half. They gave up 0 points the rest of the game and ended up beating Wisconsin 38-21.




                The biggest upset of the week came when No. 10 Utah lost to unranked Arizona. Utah struggled big time on offense and was only able to put up a field goal in the first half. They attempted to com back in the fourth quarter, but ended up dropping the game 23-10. Utah has a rough path to make the playoffs now, with star senior and quarterback, Cam Rising, injured.


                 Overall, this week of college football was action-packed and exciting to watch. College football fans had little to no complaints about the quality of games that were on all day. We look forward to watching a bunch of conference matchups next week and see who really deserves recognition and who should be considered for the College Football Playoff.

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...

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...

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...
