Rivalry Week
WOW!!! Was my prediction for the Iron Bowl wrong! Auburn came in with heart and LED the #2 Tide for most the game till QB Greg McElroy organized what will forever be known as “The Drive” to win the game for the Tide 26-21 by completing a series of short passes to Julio Jones and the winning pass to Roy Upchurch. This was also the week of upsets, close calls, and UBER DOMINATION of the SEC. Texas and Texas A&M faced off on Thanksgiving at the home of the 12th man it what was “supposed” to be a runaway for the Longhorns who were surprised by the talent of the under-estimated Aggies who jumped out to a 7-0 lead on the first drive but would fall just shy of defeating the Longhorns. This game raised some points for the senior Heisman hopeful Colt McCoy. The southern USC South Carolina also surprised the country by spanking the Clemson Tigers 34-17. At the end of the 1st half 6 Gamecock players had rushed the ball. Dabo Sweeny’s baby ACC defense and offense was no match for the tough fast SEC defense and offense of Steve Spurier’s Gamecocks. and yet again the Notre Dame “Fighting” Irish lose this time to the Stanford Cardinals and the power Heisman hopeful RB Toby Gerhart, I think Charley Weis’ days at Notre Dame are over:/
