College Football Update

Oh, USC, why do you break my heart so? After a thrilling five-game winning streak, the Gamecocks lost the only game that really mattered. Final score: Clemson 13, USC 9. It was a messy game with a total of eight turnovers, but that just means there were a lot of chances to win. Oh well, at least the game didn't end in a fight. USC ends the year 7-4; bowl bid TBD.

UMass also ended its season 7-4, losing to Hofstra 21-10. With the loss, the Minutemen also gave up any hope of winning the Atlantic Ten crown, which went to New Hampshire. Oh well, wait until next year.

The one bright spot this final week of the regular season was Cornell, which came from behind of beat Pennsylvania 16-7. No Ivy League title for the Big Red, but oh well, 6-4 ain't half bad.
