This weekend was another unforgettable college football weekend. Number one falls again, the gators go three in a row and the game cocks lost their swag.
The number one ranked Ohio State buckeyes lose their first game of the season to the always powerful #18 Wisconsin. This game was a landslide for the buckeyes from the beginning. Wisconsin took an early 14-0 lead that had the Wisconsin fans going wild, the stadium was electric. Buckeyes quickly tried to get everything together and started a slow comeback; they went into the half Wisconsin up 21-3. Through the third quarter Ohio scored one touchdown and had a two possession game; at the end of the third it was 21-10 Wisconsin. In the fourth quarter Wisconsin woke up once more and sealed the deal. They defeated the number one Ohio State Buckeyes 31-18.
The second game that really has me puzzled is the University of Florida vs. Mississippi State. I have personally seen college football for a long time and don't remember seeing the gators lose 3 games in a row. This is because it has not happened since Emmitt Smith played there. This game was a very slow one with plenty of mistakes. Turnovers and interceptions lost UF the game. Without further a do the final score was 10-7 Mississippi State.
The las game that had me shook was the S.C Gamecocks vs. University of Kentucky. This was really a shootout that did not have me surprised because Kentucky is a good team. Early in the game it looked like the S.C was going to keep scoring and stacking up the point to win. U.K never gave up though and ended the first half 28-10. The best thing of this game is how Kentucky fought back. They were relentless and kept pushing. They ended up scoring the last 21 points of the game and held the gamecocks to zero points in the second half. The final score was 31-28 Kentucky.

Top dog down, and amazing weekend.
How are we doing friends and followers. Today we have a special blog post. This saturday shocked many and had plenty of people saying what is going on. First we have the old rivalry UM vs. FSU, Michigan State vs. Michigan, and Alabama vs. South Carolina. These were all games that were very impressing.
We begin with UM vs. FSU. This games was said to be a shoot out, it seemed like only one team brought ammunition. Number 13 in the nation Miami was not clicking from the beginning. The offense, defense and even the special teams were not performing like they should have to compete with the ground and pound FSU team. The UM Quarterback had many breaks early, the FSU defense dropped a couple of possible interceptions. The FSU offense was on all cylinders and the defense was very stingy. The Florida seminoles started a little slow and took off but when they started to roll the hurricanes had nothing for them, by half time FSU was leading 24-7. The final score was 45-17 FSU. They played like the better team and could not be stopped.
The next game that was a very good one was Michigan State vs. Michigan. Everyone knows that MS has a powerful run game and a hard hitting defense, the problem is that Michigan had just what they needed a run friendly team with a good defense, the offense led with a heismen hopeful at quarterback. The game started steady and low scoring. In the first quarter it was Michigan up by a field goal. At halftime MS had the lead 17-10. At this moment the high scoring was still in mind. As the game went along both teams fought but the MS defense was pounding Michigan, not allowing them to do too much and get the ball in the end zone. Some dropped passes and misplacements got Michigan behind. The final score was 34-17 Michigan State keeping them undefeated.
The last but definitely not the least was the Alabama Crimson Tide vs. South Carolina. This game was to many a for sure victory for Alabama. They have been playing like the number one team they are and have just pounded every team they have played. This game was planned to be a tough one but a victory for the tide. South Carolina came out blowing steam in their home field. They knew what they had to do to win and how to do it. This team had one word on their mind and it was winning. The game from the beginning was all SCAR, there was a point in the first half that it was 21-3 SCAR. People around the country could be heard saying what is going on?! The final score was 35-21 SCAR and shocked the nation. This was really a remarkable one showing that no one should be on a pedestal and should be on their heels.

The Gators got drowned, Duck flew high and the coliseum silenced.
Saturday night had many anxious to see how recent national champions and top dogs in the country will play. This weekend special include the washington USC upset, the gators getting clapped and the ducks flying over sanford.
Lets begin with the game that was highlighted 3 months ago when the schedules came out, number 7 UF vs. number 1 Alabama. This game was expected to be a thriller being that these two teams have been national champions in the las two years. This game began as planned, hard hits big plays and smart play calling. Alabama received and quickly drove the ball down the field to strike first blood, the score is 3-0. UF quickly replied and drove the length of the field to the one yard line. The crimson tide held their ground and on a fourth down attempt stopped the gators. From this moment on it went down hill for the gators. Alabama quickly put up 28 points and put the gators in a hole. By the third quarter the game was 31-6 bama and little was done by the gators. No points were scored in the fourth even though both teams scored a good amount of yards. This was a big demonstration by the Alabama cremson tide that they are still the best team in the nation and the team to beat. The gators now fall to 4 and 1 and need to bounce back if they want to stay in the championship race.
The USC Washington game was thought to be a walk in the park for USC being that they are ranked number 18 in the country and Washington is unranked. Well that was not the deal this weekend. Washington went in to the coliseum ready to play and gave everyone in there a bang for their buck. The game was close all throughout, both teams were never more than 10 points away. It seemed like the harder USC tried to play the harder Washington played. As the fourth quarter came about USC was leading by two. Washington received the ball with a couple minutes left on the clock and drove it down swiftly. With 3 seconds left Washington scores the game winning field goal and upset the mighty trojans.
The last but certainly not least is the Oregon Ducks vs. Sanford. This was really a shootout till the end type of game. Early turnovers and many mistakes made Oregon worry and question their capability. Sanford quickly got ahead of Oregon 21-3 and had Duck nation very worried. With a new quarterback and experienced offensive line the Oregon Ducks organized a comeback. They went into the half only down a touch down 24-31. They regrouped and made some adjustments at half and returned like the Oregon team that many know. They bounced back with a shutdown defense and a powerful offense. The Ducks allowed 0 points in the second half and accumulated a staggering 28 points giving them a 21 point victory.
Other games to check out are Michigan vs. Indiana and Wisconsin vs. Michigan St.
