If Johnathan Joseph can't go for the Bengals, I'm serious, is Mike Mickens of UC a better player than the options the Bengals have behind him ?

It's not just his 72 yard pick to the house against Miami. He's had a much better college career than any of the other options.

Big time numbers for Pike.  With Akron up next, he can get comfortable being the man for UC.

Les MIles is great !  An onside kick when you never expect it and a half-back option for a TD is why LSU beat Auburn.  You never know what he's going to do.

Tony Gonzolas can become the number one receiving tight end in NFL history today.  To bad he's playing on another bad KC team.

Don't look now but Dantonio is doing a terrific job at Michigan State.  Tailback Javon Ringer brings his offensive line with him to talk to the meda after they stick it to Notre Dame.

Boise State beating Oregon 37-32 on the road shows beating Oklahoma a few years ago was no accident.  They are good again.  3--0 with a redshirt freshman QB.

Wonder what would have happened against USC if Pryor was the QB for Ohio State from day one ?

Coco's numbers saving games is much better since that slump.  His fastball is back.  Why he doesn't throw inside more baffles me.  Especially with that heat.  Batters seem to lean in.

I'm really excited about the REDS for next year.  I can't help it.  I love baseball, and I see potential.

Glen Coffee runs 87 yards for a TD for Alabama.  Two tight ends in tight on the left side.  They had one more blocker than defender to take care of.  Saban at Alabama is smart.

IF CHAD CAN MAKE ONE GREAT BIG PLAY, MAYBE A SECOND HAPPENS AND TODAY IS INTERESTING.  NOTICE I SAID IF.

Have some fun with THELOTD.COM during the game and before.  We'll talk about it this morning on the Countdown To Kickoff beginning at 11:30.
