College football starts off with a bang....

Wow what an exciting weekend of college football starting with #14 Boise State knocking off the #16 Oregon Ducks 19-8 and improving their chances of, getting shut out of the National Title game, sorry I mean improving their chances to get into the BS National Title game. That game was marred by Oregon's running back LeGarrette Blount punching BSU's Byron Hout in the face after Hout taunted him when the teams were shaking hands.

#6 Ohio State had to rally the troops so to speak against the Navy Midshipmen to hold them off to win 31-27. OSU pulled off a rarity in college football as the Midshipmen were going for a two-point play to tie the game but the Buckeye's defense rose up and intercepted the pass attempt and returned it for their own two-point play to seal the victory.

#22 Iowa needed to block two field goals including what would have been the game winner to preserve a 17-16 win over interstate rival Northern Iowa.

#9 Oklahoma State Cowboys came out with guns blazing and ruined Georgia's national title hopes by defeating them 24-10. Oklahoma State's Dez Bryant had 3 catches with 2 resulting in Tds.

#20 BYU Cougars ruined Sam Bradford's Heisman hopes and they also crushed Oklahoma's shot a another BCS title game by holding off the Sooners 14-13. Bradford dropped back to pass and as soon as he released the ball a Cougar defender drilled him into the ground and knocking him out of the game. Bradford did not return with his sprained throwing shoulder and he is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with the injury.

#5 Alabama routed #7 Virginia Tech 34-24 and set themselves up for another run at a BCS bowl game and essentially ending the Hokies hopes of making the BCS title game.

#23 Notre Dame kept up the momentum they had from routing Hawaii in the Hawaii bowl by putting together a complete game shutting out the Nevada Wolfpack 35-0. Jimmy Clausen played only three quarters but he finished 15 of 18 for 315 yards and 4 tds. Clausen connected with sophomore wide receiver Michael Floyd on 4 occasions with 3 of them resulting in touchdowns, Floyd finished with 189 yards receiving.

And finally #18 Florida State lost a tough battle against in state rival the Miami Hurricanes 38-34. The Seminoles had first and ten from Miami's 2 yard line with 14 seconds left but they were unable to complete the comeback throwing three straight incomplete passes. Hurricanes sophomore Jacory Harris put up huge numbers going 21 of 34 for 386 yards and 2 tds.
