I'll admit, I lost temporary interest in last night's ESPN2 showdown between Kansas and S. Florida after the Jayhawks jumped out to a quick lead and looked like it was just going to get worse. USF scored the all important TD before the half to keep them mentally in the game and they owned the 3rd quarter. Kansas came back but QB Todd Reesing made a late game mental error by sending a deep ball into the middle of the field without recognizing the safety playing center field. The pick and subsequent return setup the Bulls for the last second win. Reesing has been a gamer but a mistakes like that can linger in the mind for a while. I'm glad I paid enough attention to watch the finish because it was a great college football game.
The stock of Rutgers and coach Greg Schiano is dropping fast. The opening loss to Fresno at home was a mild surprise but a blowout loss to North Carolina at home? Butch Davis is quickly improving the Tar Heel program with some good looking talent at the skill positions and an attitude on defense but the Scarlet Knights looked clueless on defense.
Less than a week after West Virginia gets humbled by East Carolina, the folks in Morgantown sign up Bill Stewart to a 6-year contract extension. Interesting timing. Credit the WV admin for showing support but the consensus of college football fans think they will end up playing this man for several years after they release him. This is Larry Coker all over again except the decline is already happening. At least Coker won a title and nearly another one with program Butch Davis rebuilt before the decline.
