Thursday Night Football Wrap Up

And so it begins......
College Football is back, and so far better than ever. Featuring an ACC vs SEC matchup that went to the final seconds, and a PAC 10 vs WAC match up that set precedents before and after the game. All in all a pretty good start to the season so lets break down the games.

South Carolina vs NC State
In a game wherenthe offense wasnt that great comin in, this game didnt help. The defenses were sharp and prepared for the other.The game proved to be exciting at the end, and kept us on the edge of our seats, but for most of the game the true level of offensive excitment made you more concerned about the chips and dip. Coming out of this game NC state should look to change up their play calling and find a way to run the ball more effectively. A man like Jamelle Eugene should not be held to 35 rushing and only get the ball 9 times. South Carolina proved their defense is still good. And they have the Ole ball coach to thank for that. But the quarterback position is still a joke. They need help on offense. They need a leader who can step up and and not only say he will, but actually put the team on his shoulders and score the football.All in all a good showing defensively but they need work. But an interesing stat.... Steve Spurrier has won 10 straight season openers.

Oregon vs Boise State
What a game. Between all the bantering before the game, and the word fights through tv cameras this game turned out pretty darn good. Boise State showed that Kellen Moore is back and better as just a third year sophomore, and that the blue turf is probably the hardest playing surface in college football. The defense is stout and somehow that offense just finds ways to score. Trick plays, botched plays, and a little luck gave Boise all the momentum they would need to win. On the other hand, Oregon didnt just roll over. Their offense failed to get in rythm but this team still has tremendous speed and talent, but they need to cut the trash talk, and start playing as hard as they talk. Now about the after the game incedent, i think the punishment was just but could have been less. Now an opposing player, from the winning team was in a crowd of his team mates celebrating tapped Blount yelled in th opposite direction and got sucker punched to the ground. Shoult Hout be suspended by Boise, no, put on probation, yeah sure. But Blount got what he deserved, because he punched or tried to fight fans, players, and teammates alike. He was a raging bull and needs to learn, because he is a Senior for christ sake, to control his emotions and set anexample for his teammates. An impressive win for Boise and Oregon needs alot of work before conference play.
