the Meat Life Must Sees:
BYU at Florida State
Well, this game was short on the drama factor. Dubbed as a revenge game, there was not much revenge. The Cougars kept it close in the first half, trailing 13-10. But the Seminoles held BYU to just 39 yards in the second half. Florida State pounded the football on the ground, rushing for 278 yards. Florida State runs over the Cougars 34-10.
Nebraska at Washington
The supposed road test for Nebraska turned into a field day for the Nebraska running game. Again no drama there, so the Meat Life must sees are taking a beating. The Huskers dominated the Huskies. Burkhead, Helu, and Martinez all rushed over 100 yards, 6 TDs on the ground between the three of them. Locker had a career worst 4-20 passing and is more than likely out of the Heisman race. Cornhuskers roll over Washington 56-21.
Texas at Texas Tech
Now this one lived up to the billing. Texas took a quick 14-0 lead, but Tech scratches and claws it's way back to tie it up by half. Longhorn D stepped it up big in the second half as the Red Raiders struggled to move the ball. In the fourth quarter, Texas had a 23 play, 9:23 clock squeezing TD drive aided a pass interference penalty on third down that kept the drive going. Longhorns grind out victory over Tech 24-14.
the Meat Life If You Had The Time...:
For as early as the kickoff was, this game was really good. Arkansas looked in control as they had a 24-10 lead going into the fourth. Georgia scores 14 unanswered points to tie the game late. Each exchange a short drive and punt. Arkansas has the ball with Heisman hopeful QB Ryan Mallett in command. They drive down to the Georgia 40 yard line when Mallett hits an open WR Greg Childs about 15 yards down field, Childs makes on move to fake out an defender and is gone to the endzone with 15 seconds left on the clock. Arkansas makes a statement with the road win against the Bulldogs 31-24.
Baylor at TCU
Here's a good debate...who's the better non-automatic qualifying BCS team? Boise State or TCU? TCU outslugged Oregon State a few weeks ago and then rolls over Baylor (granted they are a Big 12 cellar-dweller for quite a while). The Bears never really had a chance as the Horned Frogs imposed their will on Baylor. TCU QB Andy Dalton was 21-23 with 267 yards passing and 2 TDs while RB Ed Wesley took care of things on the ground with 165 yards rushing on 19 carries and 2 TDs. TCU rolled Baylor 45-10.
the Meat Life Misses and Wishes Named Must Sees:
Iowa at Arizona
The late night cap game was excellent. Arizona dominated the first half, jumping to a 21-7 lead early in the second quarter due to a blocked punt, interception return for TD, and kickoff return for TD. It then seemed as if they were in meltdown mode as punts and a Nick Foles INT throw get Iowa back in the game with it tied at 27-27. Foles leads a 72 yard drive to give Arizona the lead and the Mike Stoops defense holds strong as Arizona holds on to win against Iowa 34-27.
Clemson at Auburn
Auburn seems to be surviving the barn-burners as they squeak out another close victory. Clemson took a 17-0 lead as it seemed there was a rout in progress. Auburn claws back with a 21 point third quarter to gain the lead. Clemson comes back to tie the game and they go to OT. In OT Clemson holds Auburn to a field goal. It seemed Clemson tied it but a time out was called before the ball was hiked. The redo misses and Auburn slides to a 27-24 victory over Clemson.
Notre Dame at Michigan State
Man, another close game for Notre Dame again. Probably the best ending of the week. The game goes back and forth all game and goes into OT. The Spartans force the Irish to a field goal in OT. Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio calls a play he calls "Little Giants," a.k.a. fake field goal where punter/holder Aaron Bates who hadn't thrown a pass since high school finds open TE Charlie Gantt wide open for the game clincher. Later Dantonio has a mild heart attack, has a procedure done to unblock an artery to the heart. He is okay and so is his cardiac-performing football team. Spartans shock Irish 34-31 in OT.
