College Football Update

The USC Gamecocks came so close yesterday, but got tripped up at the end by Tennessee in overtime, 23-20. The Cocks would have won if they hadn't lost their ground game to injuries in the 4th quarter. USC is now 3-2 overall, but 0-2 in the SEC, which hurts.

UMass held on to beat James Madison 31-26. The Minutemen are having a good year: 3-1 overall (the one loss coming to Top 10 Kansas State), and 2-0 in the Atlantic 10.

Cornell lost to Yale 21-7. The Big Red are now 1-1.

This week, I'm adding a new team to my semi-regular updates: SMU, Mary's alma mater. The Mustangs lost to Nevada 12-9 yesterday, to start the season at 0-4. Ouch.
