West Virginia loses to South Florida…

LSU and Tulane locked in a defensive struggle through the first half…

Illinois beating Penn State at the half…

Can I enjoy Notre Dame’s worse season ever in peace? I wouldn’t consider myself a life-long hater of Notre Dame; however I am enjoying the reality check that many people are getting regarding this over-rated football program.

Let’s do the math…

No Rocket Ismail + No Tim Brown + Unrealistic Expectations = 0-4.

Ryan Leaf wonders why Notre Dame gets all the attention for unrealistic expectations

Anyways, back to the close college football games. LSU obviously looked ahead to next week’s game against Florida. Honestly, as of halftime, Oklahoma looks like a better team than the Tigers.

*shakes head

Matt Flynn looked like a freshman and not a 5th year senior. I was surprised that Les Miles didn’t put Ryan Perrilloux in for more packages in the first half.

Perrilloux, the highly recruited quarterback from Louisiana, has thrown for more touchdowns and is a more versatile threat than the injured Flynn. Yet, there is something about him that makes me wonder if he is the real deal against top tier competition.

Perrilloux has high hopes to breaking Vince Young’s Wonderlic score

On to West Virginia…

It is an undeniable fact that we at horsetoothed enjoy watching the play of Steve Slaton. Tough competitor and humble spirited Slaton is a front runner for the Heisman award but he still continues to fly under the radar with USC, LSU, Oklahoma and Florida all undefeated.

It didn’t help that West Virginia lost to South Florida. This is the second year in a row that West Virginia has lost to USF and Slaton had 13 carries for only 54 yards. Oh well Oklahoma lost today so that should help them out a little. If not, the Texas loss should boost everyone in the bottom 10 up a couple slots at least.

Time for me to watch the USC and Washington game. I just checked the scoreboard and saw that Notre Dame lost to Purdue.

The Streak Continues…
