20 questions from wild weekend
Posted: Sunday, October 21, 2007 12:13 AM
As the thrills and spills of the 2007 season continue, I’m here to pose this week’s 20 questions:
With an 0-4 streak currently in progress, does anybody even want to be the No. 2 team at this point in the season? If you’re Frank Beamer, don’t you like your chances on Thursday night, hosting Boston College in Blacksburg?
Who said that a sophomore can’t win the Heisman Trophy? Can the voters really hold class standing against Tim Tebow? Isn’t he clearly the most outstanding player in college football this season?
After everything he’s gone through in the last three weeks, is there anybody who’s more deserving of a “time out” than the high-stakes gamblin’ Les Miles? However, during his bye week, don’t you get the feeling that he’ll find something risky to do around the house this weekend?
But even in defeat, don’t you have to give Tommy Tuberville a lot of credit for the way he's consistently able to get his team to perform so well against highly ranked teams on the road?
How amazing would it be if a three-loss team won the SEC East?
Wouldn’t it have been more of an upset if lowly Minnesota beat North Dakota State, which is in the final year of its transition from Division II to the Football Championship Division? Has the Big Ten ever had a worse season?
Is there any question that Nick Saban is worth every penny?
Before Xavier Lee fumbled the ball away, committing the ninth turnover of the game, weren’t you hoping to see the Miami-Florida State game come down to one of those wacky Seminole field goal attempts?
How inconceivable is it that UCLA is leading the Pac-10 at 4-0 and lost to both Utah and Notre Dame?
Have you noticed that there’s been an epidemic of fake field goal attempts this season? And doesn’t it seem like they’ve all worked?
Is it possible that Pitt’s Achilles’ heel was having Dave Wannstedt coach from the sidelines?
Don’t you hope that Darren McFadden and Felix Jones dress up like Sonny & Cher for Halloween? Who’s gonna be who?
Speaking of outfits, did somebody tell Mark Mangino that black is slimming?
