A Preview for What's to Come


This upcoming weekend is full of BCS busting games and possible poll changing results. The weekend's slate includes games from all across the country. This past Thursday night gave us a preview of what we could possibly see this upcoming weekend. The undefeated, ninth ranked Brigham Young Cougars traveled to Fort Worth, Texas and battled the TCU Horned Frogs. It was supposed to be one of the toughest games on the Cougars' schedule, and it proved to be. Texas Christian's stifling defense held BYU's and quarterback Max Hall's powerful offense to just 297 total yards. Needless to say this ended in a blowout; TCU: 32, BYU: 7. Will this be a preview of what to come? I guess we will have to wait and see.

Big games this weekend include Ole' Miss and Alabama, Georgia Tech and Clemson, Ohio State and Michigan State, LSU and South Carolina, and Missouri vs. Texas. A very inconsistent Mississippi team is coming off an upset of Florida Gators in the Swamp. Clemson is dealing with the emotion of losing their head coach, so I expect them to be fired up and ready to go. Ohio State and Michigan State are battling for Big Ten supremacy along with Penn State. LSU is trying to rebound after an embarrassing loss to Florida. The game of the day has to be between Missouri and Texas. Can Missouri bounce back after their first loss and defeat the number one ranked Texas Longhorns, giving us a fifth number one ranked team thus far in the college football season? Will the Texas Longhorns and Colt McCoy show up and play like they did last week against Oklahoma or have a downfall? This should end up being a great game between two Heisman candidates in Chase Daniel and Colt McCoy and two BCS National Championship contenders.
