Game of the Century, College Football Top 5
Well this week's 'Game of the Century' lived up to the hype. Alabama vs. LSU was a nasty defensive battle that went to overtime.
LSU pulled out the victory 9-6 on a field goal but it never gets to O.T. if Alabama has one kicker who can make a field goal. They missed 3 legit field goal attempts. You can't and shouldn't be #1 if you can't make a field goal. Or at least one of the three they missed.
Only true football fans enjoyed that game. It was an 'old school' defensive battle filled with 'big boy' hits from two teams filled with NFL talent.
I would not be surprised if they play again for the National Championship. They both deserve another shot at each other. Oklahoma State is up there but they don't have the caliber defense to hang with either one of these teams. OSU just gave up 45 in a win against Kansas State. Boise State won but they don't play anyone, and Stanford beat Oregon State (hurts to say that OSU is my Alma Mater).
Next time Nick Sabin will have to act like it is youth football and make anything over the 50 yard line 4 down territory. That would give them a better shot than missing field goals with 2 shaky kickers.
Speaking of youth football, we are now 9-1 and playing the team that beat us in the semi-finals of the playoffs. We are a better team than they are, all we have to do is show it.
Here is the "44Black College Football Top 5."
1. LSU - They outlasted Alabama in a physical dogfight. Hopefully they get to do it again in the title game. The offense is pedestrian when faced with a defense like 'Bama's but the defense is special no matter who they are facing.
2. Alabama - After the performance last night I cannot drop them more than one spot. They missed opportunity after opportunity offensively. The defense kept getting it back for them but they could not deliver. I thought they would at least once and that would have made the difference in the game.
3. Stanford - They are a strong, physical team with a great quarterback. They dominate Oregon State and win easily 38-13.
4. Oklahoma State - They won 52-45 but only because Kansas State could not punch it in on the goal line with no time left. They are good but give up way too many points to be a real contender.
5. Boise State - They won but they are supposed to. They don't play anyone. Not sure they would be here if they played a tough Top 20 opponent most weeks like the other teams on this list do.
That's All I Got!!
I'm Out!
