Thoughts on the UL game.

Offense- I think that the QB question should have been answered. Woodson is the man. We threw the ball down field nicely. The only problem I have is that Raf only had around 10 touches or so. Between he and Keenan they should have 30-35 a game.

Defense- I plead the 5th.

Special Team was nice. Mattsay actually punted the ball good. Also the Kickoff were well.

Game Balls:
Offense: Dicky Lyons & Andre Woodson
Defense: Wesley Woodyard
Special Teams: Keenan Burton


On another note, I would like to send a get well soon to Micheal Bush. I am not a UL fan however this kid is a class act.




Now on the news of the week.


Injury notes Durrell White is questionalbe for the TSU game. Pryor is doubtful for it.

Also some depth chart changes.
Dicky Lyons Jr will start in place of DeMario Ford. Micah Johnson in for Braxton Kelley. Garry Williams and Christian Johnson in on the Left side of the Line.

Top 10 games of the week:
Last week 7-3

10. Miami (OH) vs Purdue
Purdue stuggles against Indiana State last week. Will have to play better to win this week and they do. Purdue 41-31

9. Colorado vs Colorado State
Colorado will try to bounce back after a embrassing week will a loss to Montana State. They don't get it here. CSU 24-17

8. Vandy vs Alabama
Bama struggled with Hawaii. While Vandy comes in still trying to replace Cutler. Vandy offense continues to struggle. Bama 24-7.

7. Minnesota vs California.
Big game for Cal after being dismantle vs Tennessee. This is a big game to go towards saying last week was just a bad game and we aren't overrated. Cal must stop the run to do that though. Cal 31-17.

6. Washington vs Oklahoma
Oklahoma played bad without Romar last week. And last time I check he is not coming back. Washington is better than UAB. Washington 21-17.

5. Air Force vs Tennessee.
This is a "Trap Game" for UT. Comes between the big win against Cal and the rival game against UF. Remember AF runs that weird option attack. UT wins 31-7.

4. Texas State vs Kentucky.
Big game for the Cats TSU is a running team and UK sucks against the run. If the Cats want to have a chance at a bowl game and keeping there staff they must win here, period.
UK 41-17.

3. Georgia vs South Carolina
Big test early for a young UGA team. SC must show signs of improvement after a ugly win against MSU.
UGA 31-21.

2. Penn State vs Norte Dame: Great Offense vs a Great Defense. I still love ND offense. Also I think PSU doesn't have one yet. ND 38-20 (sorry Neo)

1. Ohio State vs Texas. #1 vs #2 early in the year wow. This is going to be a great one folks. If you are not at the UK game I say have a couple of friends over, crab a case and some wings and enjoy. Oh for the game a young OSU defense loses this one for them. UT 31-21.
