If I had a Heisman vote, it would go to Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, the most dominant lineman I have seen in decades. Go Big Suh!

There have been some fantastic finishes this year, but this one really raised the bar:


Nebraska did just about everything they had to do to dump Texas, and for 59:59, they did.

The job the Pelini brothers have done on the defensive side of the football since their return to Lincoln has been nothing short of phenomenal. The Blackshirts operate a disruptive front attacking the line of scrimmage and fly to the football and are sure handed tacklers. They are a pleasure to watch perform. If the 'Huskers had a statistically average offense, they would be no worse than 12-1 at this point. I expect to see a return visit to the Big XII title game next fall.

Cincinnati, after trailing by 21,came back to beat Pitt by executing a point after try, which Pitt failed to do moments earlier, albeit in a snowstorm....Like many, I surprised how Alabama dismantled Florida in such thorough fashion. It was a complete victory for the Crimson Tide.....West Virginia held of the Rutgers in a game impacted by the weather mentioned above. The Mounties are a young team and should be much better in 2010 and....Connecticut capped off a real tough season on and off the field by losing in the last minutes yet again, this time to USF, in the aforementioned snowstorm....The BCS is flawed, but at the end of the day I do think the Longhorns are better than TCU or Cincinnati....Hard to believe USC crumpled down the stretch like they did....Charlie Weis was indeed fired at Notre Dame and the search is already becoming a circus....Will Turner Gill end up at Kansas? I hope not as I would rather not see him in the Big XII north with Nebraska....'Husker DT Ndamukong Suh could, and should, win every defensive award he is eligible for, so clean out the trophy case in Lincoln.
