Cleaning Up the Empties

Some things that happened after I left yesterday:

Coach Ty must (not) go! The Huskies, 2-9 last year, are 4-1 after a 21-10 victory over Arizona last night. U-Dub scored all of their points in a 6-minute burst near the end of the first half.

They must feel sorry for them. Georgia, ranked 10th in the nation, struggled mightily to hold of Ole Miss 14-9, and will assumedly drop further in the polls.

Not quite the Nebraska beatdown we're used to. The Huskers blew a 24-7 lead at home to Kansas before holding them off in overtime, 39-32, as Adam Barmann overthrows his man on 4th down in the extra period.

It only took five games, but... Notre Dame's offense finally awoke and played well for an entire game. Of course, they were going up against one of the worst defenses in the country, but Irish fans won't let that mar a 35-21 cruise-control win over Purdue. Darius Walker compiled 219 total yards, and Brady Quinn threw for 316 and 2 TDs.

Another aced test. The buildup going into Ohio State vs Iowa was tremendous. However, the Buckeyes took a 21-10 lead into the half and never looked back en route to a 38-17 win. The Buckeye defense held Albert Young to only 48 rushing yards, cruising all the way.

Oh, you said to STOP him... Well, the old alma mater didn't do so hot last night, giving up a ridiculous 353 rushing yards (a career high) to Garrett Wolfe and 610 yards total offense as they fell 40-28 to Northern Illinois in a game that wasn't even as close as the score indicated. The bright spot: true freshman Nate Davis sparkled in his first career start, going 27-38 with 298 yards, 4 TD and (as he's done in each game this season) no interceptions.

Meanwhile, here's your NFL schedule for the day. I'll be back with an update on that later.
