Week 11 Notes
LSU’s win The 46-41 drubbing of the Tide was the worst loss for Nick Saban at Alabama.
It could have been worse. Up 46-34 with 2 minutes to go the Tigers opted to forgo a prevent defense and ‘Bama scored on an 85 yard run.
Get set for an Alabama spin of “ only” losing by five to number 1.
BTW, Saban is now 0-2 against OSU back-up quarterbacks.
Minnesota is 9-0 for the first time since 1904.
Saturday’s 31-26 win vs. No. 4 Penn State was the Gophers’ first win against an AP top-10 team since 2000 and first home win against a top-10 team since 1977.
Penn State second guessing.It was not Penn State’s finest performance. The Lions were 2-6 in TDS in the red zone. At the end of the first half with no timeouts PSU was inside the ten and hurried a fourth down call. Which was an incomplete pass. Had they taken 3 that big second half comeback would have set them up for a winning field goal instead of needing a TD on the last drive.
Wake Forest’s loss to Va.Tech cost it a shot(albeit a long one) at an ACC Atlantic Division title which could have been decided next week against Clemson. Instead CLEMSON clinched beating NC STATE.
But the Deacons’ loss also put another chink in Clemson’s woeful SOS.
If Wake drops out of the top 25 that will leave Clemson with no top 25 wins( along with Alabama).
What a ParlayAll nine active division one teams in Louisiana won yesterday.
LSU, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana Lafayette, Louisiana Monroe, Northwestern State, Nicholls, Southern, Grambling State and Southeastern Louisiana.
First time ever.
