Lasagna with homemade whipped ricotta cheese made the way of the old country and 2-3 Peroni’s to wash it down. Delicious meal. Nearly 76 and mostly cloudy with strong SSW winds currently. The storm is brewing. The football has been just as tasty as the Italian meal.
Indiana. Wow! I reference “Parks and Rec” earlier and the spirit of Ron Swanson and the Hoosiers stepped up. 30-20 right now in Eugene. Indiana looks real. Oregon will build upon this. This one has tested their character a bit. 2:00 minute left, but its all over. I expect Indiana to climb way up Single High Sports rankings this week.
In other games, Colorado won 24-17 over Iowa St.
– Air Force is leading UNLV 48-44 with 49 seconds left. UNLV has the ball at the Air Force 28. This is down to the wire. What a game. Go Falcons.
-Nebraska beat Maryland 34-31
-Texas stunned the Sooner 23-6.
– And Tennessee is beating Arkansas 27-17
Back to the Air Force game. UNLV just scored to make it 51-48 with 36 seconds to go. This is insanity. Air Force QB Liam Szarka has 259 yards and three touchdowns and running back Owen Allen has rushed for 192 yards and 2 touchdowns. UNLV is relentless. UNLV QB Anthony Colandrea has nearly 400 total yards and three td’s.
Field Goal range. Air Force is down to the UNLV 32 yard line 16 seconds to go. This one is certainly a classic–Big ol fat raindrops are splattering the patio. 2 seconds left. Air Force with a 40 yard kick….Missed. Dang. UNLV holds on at home to beat Air Force 51-48 dropping the Falcons to 1-5. This team is a feisty 1-5. Credit UNLV–they just keep winning.
Vols are now 34-17 over the Hogs.
Back to Indiana–they have to climb the rankings. Are they worthy of top 5? Who would I bump? I could swap them with #2 Oregon. Slide them into the 5th spot. The Hoosiers played solid, physical football. When that style of play is allowed, this team has a chance against anyone.
–DUN NuN Nun DUN Nun Nun– this is breaking news! Penn St just lost to Northwestern. What a fall from grace for this team. What happened? Penn is now 3-3 and Northwestern improves to 4-2! What the hell? Penn St, you blew it. What a roster. Great job to the Wildcats! I underestimated them in a major way. Major way.

For now, it’s time for a breather. Take the lively pup on a quick stroll before the storms get worse later. I’m still curious about the Utah game. Will this weather cause a delay? Will they even play?
USC, Georgia, BYU, Utah all play soon. It’ll be a long night. I’ll be back.
