The Football Blitz

There were many exciting games week 3 of the college football season. Two games in particular stick out in my mind.

1. Tennessee vs. Florida (1) – Florida proved they are the number 1 team in college football right now. They looked great and made big plays when they needed to. However, Tennessee played a great game as well. Most didn’t expect it to even be close and if the hitch n go play Kiffin called at end of the 4th quarter wasn’t intercepted, you were looking at a 3 point game. Tennessee played Florida closer than anyone else has yet and probably closer then most will the rest of the season. One thing is for sure from watching today’s game….Florida is the real deal and I expect to see them playing in the Rose Bowl January 7th.

2. USC (3) vs. Washington- The outcome of today’s game was unthinkable just a year ago for Husky fans who watched their team finish 0-12 last year. For football fans in general no one saw Washington (1-1) beating USC (2-0). A field goal at the end gave the Huskies a 3 point lead with three seconds left and sealed the fate of the Trojans, who played without three starting offensive linemen. Give credit to Steve Sarkissian as the head coach, but also Nick Holt for an impressive defensive game plan. The defense won this game! Lastly, it needs to be said that Pete Carroll is one of the classiest head coaches in college football. He truly was disappointed about the loss but very proud, as he put it, of Sarkissian for the job he is doing at UW.
