College Football Update

Oops, missed a week. Let's catch up.

Who would have thunk it? After starting the season 2-3, the Gamecocks have won their last four in a row. Last week, they came from behind to beat Tennessee 16-15. And this week, the hung on to beat Arkansas 14-10. That winning streak probably ends next Saturday when USC plays Florida, but they've guaranteed themselves a winning season, and thus bowl eligibility. Not bad at all.

UMass saw their own five game winning streak come to an end last week, losing to New Hampshire 34-28. But they bounced back, manhandling Delaware 35-7. The Minutemen are now 7-2, and tied with New Hampshire atop the Atlantic 10.

Cornell also had a split record the last two weeks, losing a close one to Princeton 20-17, and then beating Dartmouth this Saturday 21-10 in a very sloppy game with a combined 26 penalties for over 200 yards. But hey, a win's a win, and the Big Red is now 4-4.
