While much of country was bashing the ACC, with both Duke and Virginia getting beat by 1-A teams, I was in awe of the Big Ten. Iowa had perhaps the most narrow escape ever, blocking two consecutive field goal efforts, Ohio State somehow beat Navy, while Illinois got punked by Missouri, who lost almost their entire offense. Ohio State better find something before Saturday, when USC comes calling.....Florida State once again lost to Miami in dramatic fashion, catapulting the 'Canes to second in the state. Will the Seminoles rebound and join Miami in the march back to national prominence? BYU in two weeks, and......speaking of the Cougars, even with Sam Bradford going down, they were hanging in toe to toe with Oklahoma. Not only were they impressive on offense, but showed some defensive teeth as well.....Boise State spanked Oregon, and then came some very disturbing behavior, leading to the end of the road for Ducks running back Legarrette Blount. It was not pretty......
Outside of the painful loss, it was a great night in Tallahassee to kick off the college football season. Here is a pic of the stadium in pregame:
Outside of football, Florida State University honored Captain Michael Scott Speicher before the game, inclusive of his family. The US Military performed a Missing Man Formation Flyover at Doak Campbell Stadium in a very moving gesture. Tomahawk Nation got the flyover recorded:
We will never forget Captain Speicher. God Bless Captain Speicher and God Bless The United States of America!
