Week 5 recap

Week 5 came with some blowouts, upsets, and LSU losing to Troy.

Notable games:

USC vs. Washington St. (30-27) – The cougars get the win Mike Leach has been looking for. And it was not the best performance for USC Quarterback Sam Darnold. The Trojans needs to bounce back quick if they want to stay in the PAC 12 hunt.

Ole Miss vs. Alabama (66-3) – I guess Bama only knows how to dominate. Close wins are not in their blood.

Georgia vs. Tennessee (41-0) – The bulldogs pound the Volunteers on their home field. If Butch Jones was nervous before this game, I would hate to check his blood pressure now.

Clemson vs. Virginia Tech (31-17) – Enter Sandman couldn’t help the Hokies Saturday night. The Tiger Defense controlled this game from the get go. Tiger Quarterback Kelly Bryant had another break out game, making the loss of Deshaun Watson more of a memory.

Mississippi St vs. Auburn (49-10) – The War Eagles have been playing great football since their loss to Clemson. Can the finish strong?

Oklahoma St. vs. Texas Tech (41-34) – This was the shootout we all thought it would be, though the Cowboys found some defense late in the game and scored just enough to hold on and win. The Big 12 is wide open folks.

Vandy vs. Florida (38-24) – The gators lose Junior Quarterback Luke Del Rio but may have found their offense under youngster Feleipe Franks. The youngster has been inconsistent at times and the gators will need him to step up his game as the schedule gets tougher (Cocktail Party).

Troy vs. LSU (24-21) – This was the upset of the night(maybe year), as the Troy Trojans defeated the LSU Tigers 24-21. It’s hard to win a football game when you can’t score, but it’s ever harder to win when you turn the ball over four times.  LSU has an identity crisis. They need to figure out who they are quick!
