College Football Update

The Gamecocks moved up to a very respectable 5-2 record with a 31-13 win over Vanderbilt. Against a better team, however, they would have paid a higher price for those four turnovers. And the next three games will be against better teams — Tennessee, Arkansas and Florida, all ranked.

UMass continued its winning ways, getting it's fifth straight victory by beating Rhode Island 41-16. Down 10 points early, they roared back with 35 unanswered points. UMass is now 6-1, and 4-0 in the Atlantic 10.

Cornell was unable to get me a trifecta this week, losing to Brown 28-7. After ending the first half tied at 7, the Cornell starters apparently couldn't find their way out back to the field for the second half. The Big Red sits at 2-4, and 0-3 in the Ivy, sharing the cellar with Columbia.
