Week 6 recap

The first weekend of October brought some intriguing match ups, as well as some shocking finishes. Let’s take a look.

Oklahoma vs. Iowa St (38-31) – The theme this year in College Football is ” You plant your flag, I’ll plant mine”. That’s exactly what happened as the Oklahoma Sooners lost to the Iowa St. Cyclones. This was a game that should had never been a struggle, yet Iowa St. find a way to win. Oklahoma is now looking from the outside-in at the College Football playoff.

Alabama vs. Texas a&m (27-19) – If College Football awarded moral victories, the aggies would had won first prize on Saturday night. The gave the Crimson Tide their toughest game yet, just not the result they wanted to achieve. The Tide did not look like the team that has been trailblazing people this season, but their defense was still dominate.

LSU vs. Florida (17-16) – Not exactly the match up of the century, but a good game nonetheless. LSU made the plays. The gators made mistakes. Guess who won? Bayou Bengals.

Wake Forest vs. Clemson (28-14) – Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant left the game with a sprained ankle, making a easy game not so easy. The tiger defense made enough plays, but the demon deacons came to play and it showed. Look for the Tigers to rebound against Syracuse.

Michigan St. vs. Michigan (14-10) – If Jim Harbaugh is going to take Michigan to the next level, they have got to win these types of games. The spartans controlled the line of scrimmage for most of the game and the Wolverine offense was very inept. Michigans playoff look to be diminished after Saturday night’s loss in Ann Arbor.

Miami vs. FSU (24-20) – The game that use to send you the National Championship has lost some of its shine as of late, but that doesn’t mean that the game means nothing.  With 11 seconds left in the game, Miami Quarterback Malik Rosier threw a 23-yard bomb to Darrell Langham to seal the deal against the FSU seminoles. This ends a 7 year skid for the Hurricanes and avenging last years loss in Coral Gables.

Air Force vs. Navy (48-45) – This game started out as a blowout. The sailors rushed ahead of the airmen 28-10 in the first half. Game over, right? Not so fast my friend. Air Force got their offense clicking through their passing game, not their run game. With a 45-41 lead, the Falcons looked to win this thing…but again, not so fast my friend. Navy Quarterback Zach Abey threw a 16 yard pass with 15 seconds left in the game to seal the deal. Navy only has one game left to win back the CIC trophy….Army!

West Virginia vs. TCU (31-24) – In a game that had over 900 yards of total offense, it’s hard to find much of a defense. This is the Big XII we’re talking about, now. However, TCU put the clamps down late and held West Virginia when it mattered. Player of the game goes to TCU Quarterback Kenny Hill who won the game with his hands and feet.
