Mike Riley Must Be Allowed To Fail

It was an pretty good weekend for the Big Ten Conference. On Friday I said that it was a weekend for the Big Ten to take care business and they mostly did. In fact, most of the conference crushed their opponents. Even Rutgers bounce back from last week’s loss to trounce Morgan State 65 – 0. Purdue was impressive in their win over Missouri and while Michigan struggled with Air Force they eventually pulled it out by double digits in the end.Only two teams lost. Illinois lost to USF as was expected. Then there was this other team that lost despite being a double digit favorite.

There were some other big upsets around the nation. UCLA lost to Memphis, and you wonder how long the Bruins are going to put up with Jim Mora Stanford was upset by San Diego State, Mississippi State beat the hell out of LSU, and Vanderbilt moved to 3-0 by upsetting Kansas State. Get this – it was the first nonconference win over a ranked opponent by Vanderbilt since 1946. That is one hell of a long streak to overcome.

The USC – Texas game Saturday night was one of the more fun games so far this season. That’s two times I’ve watched Texas and enjoyed the hell out of the game and in both occasions the Longhorns lost. Quarterback play on both sides of the ball in the fourth quarter was just amazing, especially Texas’ true freshman quarterback Sam Ehlinger.

Overall, it was an excellent weekend for college football… Except for that just one thing…
