College Football Wrap-up

Better late than never, I guess. USC made a strong recovery following its loss to Arkansas last week by opening up a can of you-know-what on Vanderbilt and winning 46-14. The Gamecocks are now 6-1, and ranked 12 in the AP poll. Cornell continues to be nothing if not consistent, losing to Brown 49-21, moving to 0-5 for the season. And UMass mercifully got its first win of the year, beating James Madison 43-20, and moving to 1-5.
