A mixed bag of results in what was a very fun football day on Saturday.
BYU -30 @ Utah State
BYU 34, Utah State 14
“there you go again with the big point spread” Uh-huh. I was doing fine, the Mormons were putting a major beat down on the other Mormons (yeah, I know they're not actually, but I find it humorous, just like the notion that Jim McMahon played out there) for three quarters and then WHOA!!! they yanked back on the reins and settled, settled like Fosset's airplane settled when he took the close up of that mountain. ESPN put up a seaon-to-date graph that showed BYU beating the snot out of their opponents for 3 quarters and then taking Q4 off. They did it again on Friday night.

Penn State –14 @ Purdue
Penn State 20, Purdue 6
"currently ranked #6", "may have the best athletes of any Big 10 team". Oh what a crock! Penn State had 20-0 lead, I had a smile on my face and then blah-blah-blah. A tie. Ugh. Oh, yeah, Purdue's kicker sucks, too.

Iowa @ Michigan State -6 1/2
Michigan State 16, Iowa 13
Sparty had 'em on the ropes throughout the game, could have delivered a knock out punch, didn't seem to have that club in their bag . Shee-hit. Hope they don't have it next week up at Evanston, either.

Indiana @ Minnesota-7
Minnesota 16, Indiana 7
I was in an elevated state of angst for a prolonged time period, having invested a material amount of STP Partners' venture capital in this contest. The game was a blatant display of crappy football skills. Despite the utter craptacularness, I was absolutely thrilled that Minnesota kicked a 38 yard field goal with 22 seconds left in the game to cover the spread. Minnesota is now 5-1 this year, 4-0 at home, and the logo on their helmets reminds me of MAD Magazine.

Auburn @ Vanderbilt +4
Vanderbilt 14, Auburn 13
"Vandy will be dandy and win this one outright." What a fun game this one was! Auburn marched down the field on their opening possession and Vandy's defense held them on four tries from inside the five yard line. The margin of victory for Vanderbilt ended up being a missed PAT.
"W"
Illinois +2 ½ @ Michigan
Illinois 45, Michigan 20
Whoa, Nellie, did the toast of Champaign ever put a major league whippin' on the A-maized and Feeling Blue from Ann Arbor! The Fighting Illini ran and passed and caught and tackled and it's always fun to watch the locals go up to the vaunted Big House and mistreat Michigan and send the 109,000 spectators home unhappy. 109,00. That would be 218,000...never mind. By the way, I would like to have a contest to put an actual logo on the Illinois helmets to replace that 70's rapid transit printing. BORRR--RING!
"W"
Oregon Ducks +16 ½@ USC
USC 44, Ducks 10
Yup. 2 weeks back I said always take the Trojans. Then they were beaten, and I thought they were coming back to the pack. They're not, and the Ducks are hurting.

I began the weekend with a very poor 15-21-1 record. This week's 3-3-1 looks pretty good in comparison, but the deficit remains. The record now: 18-24-2.
