Unlikeliness, Upsets, and Undefeated (Week 11 CFB)

 


            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 matchup 28-10 in a rather boring game, unless of course you are an Ole Miss fan.


    

            Next, we head to the state of Utah where we had a rivalry matchup between BYU and Utah. This matchup is always exciting, no matter what kind of year either team is having. In this case, BYU was undefeated and looked to remain so, and Utah was having a down year at 4-4. This didn't seem to matter though as it was back and forth the whole first half, until Utah sort of pulled away, going into halftime up 21-10. BYU would shut Utah out in the second half, though and take the lead 22-21, on a last second field goal to win the game. Like I said earlier, this matchup never disappoints.


            We look forward to another week of college football in week 12. Week 11 did not disappoint, as we get closer to the end of the regular season and playoff time. 

            Week 12 notable matchups: Tennessee vs. Georgia, Texas vs. Arkansas, Utah vs. Colorado

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...

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...
