Week 4 Commentary for 2007
More fun on the way...
Franchione and company have racked up a 3 game winning streak to start the season, while Miami lost in Norman to the Sooners in week 2. Don't count these Canes out, though, especially not at home. A&M rallied to beat Fresno in week 2, but has blasted both ULM and Montana State (I know). This game could get interesting if the Aggies get rattled in the Orange Bowl. Will Miami get back on track, or will A&M pull out a big one in Coral Gables?
South Carolina surprised everyone when they beat UGA in Athens. Defense has been the big surprise for these Gamecocks. Everyone knew they would be good, but I doubt many saw them eating up the Dawgs. LSU, on the other hand, has been everything everyone in Baton Rouge expected and hoped for. They have positively dominated opponents on both sides of the ball. Will Early Doucet's absense make a difference, or will the Tigers Geaux, Geaux, Geaux?
Both Penn State and Michigan buried Notre Dame. Michigan got off to a Rocky start (losing to App State close and Oregon bad), while the Nittany Lions have stomped all three of their opponents (FIU, Buffalo, and the aforementioned ND). Will the Lions exploit a questionable Wolverine secondary, or will the Blue rule the Big House once again?
The Red Raiders of Texas Tech have been averaging 51 points a game (no surprise against SMU, UTEP, and Rice), but they have a point differential of 30. The Oklahoma State Cowboys, in contrast, have not lived up to their billing as the 'greatest offense in the world', getting punked by UGA and Troy. Granted, Troy is not the joke many think they are, and it was in Athens, but still. Will Mike Gundy's offense regain its reputation, or will the Red Raiders fly all over Boone Pickens Stadium in a display of Mike Leachian O?
UK shocked many when they beat Louisville last week. Senior QB Andre Woodson has passed for 743 yards and 9 TDs (with 0 INTs) in three games. He is showing himself to be the real deal. Arkansas got stunned at Bama last week. Darren McFadden, however, is looking to reestablish his Heisman hype. Will Woodson pass all day, or will D-Mac show off the arm and legs that have made him so famous?
Stay tuned, sports fans. All these questions and more get answers in Week 4. |
