Another One Goes Down To Boise State, Broncos Bust Bulldogs

What more do you want Boise State to prove that the Broncos are among the elite in college football.

Saturday night Boise State came to Atlanta to take on the Georgia Bulldogs. Once again the Broncos rose to the occasion defeating the Bulldogs 35-21.

This is another milestone in the history of Boise State football. The Broncos had never beaten a team from the SEC in four tries. With the win over Georgia Saturday night Boise State has accomplished that.

It was a hard fought physical game," said Boise State head coach Chris Petersen in a post game press conference.

"Congrats to Boise State. They just beat us tonight. They were better than we were," Georgia head coach Mark Richt said in a post game press conference. ''But SEC play hasn't even started. It's a long season. We've got to get our minds right. A game like this, no question, we know more about our football team than if we played someone and beaten them by 40. Hopefully that translates into us learning how to play better in these type of games and better see where our weaknesses are.''

You think next weeks South Carolina game is important now for Georgia? Richt and the Bulldogs will be feeling the pressure to avoid an 0-2 start. That might make Richt's backside a lot hotter.

Kellen Moore established himself as the early front runner in the Heisman Trophy race. Moore was outstanding against the Bulldogs going 28-34 passing for 261 yards and three touchdowns.

''Growing up watching football, I have a ton of respect for the SEC,'' Moore said after the game. "I watched Georgia play a lot of big games growing up. To play a game like this was a lot of fun. I enjoyed it. We were fortunate to come out on top.''

Some might say that throwing it away does you a lot of good...

Especially, when you bonk a member of the Auburn band to avoid a sack...

OSG High: Indiana WR Sets National Yards Record

((HT: WSBT-TV South Bend))

Coming into this week's games, South Bend ((IN))-Washington High WR Gehrig Dieter had the top spot for receiving yards by almost 270 total yards.

Dieter expanded those numbers with, what looks like, the new national record for yards in a game with 447 yards in a 63-10 win over Elkhart-Central.

He broke the 2008 mark of 421 yards set by J.D. Felice of Rose Bud ((AR)) in a game against England High.

In Washington's season opener, Dieter broke the Indiana state record with 373 receiving yards- 8th highest on the national list.

Here's the highlights of the game itself... the South Bend-Washington game is at the 3:00 mark or so...
 

Hokies Roll Over Appy State

There would be no repeat of the James Madison loss for Virginia Tech. The Hokies rolled over Appalachian State 66-13 Saturday.

Here are the highlights from Blacksburg, VA (Thanks WDBJ-TV Roanoke, VA)

 

Virginia Tech running back David Wilson might be a star in the making and Wilson began 2011 in spectacular fashion rushing for 162 yards and three touchdowns.

Hokie quarterback Logan Thomas played well in his first start. From the air Thomas was 9-19 for 149 yards, two touchdown passes and no interceptions.

“I think Logan is going to get better each and every quarter." Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer said after the game. "That’s the only thing Logan needs right now. He just needs some experience. He’ll handle it better and better every time he’s out there."

By the way, Frank Beamer signed a contract extension that goes to 2016.

Not a bad day for the Hokies or coach Beamer.

Stephen F. Austin Puts Up 82 Points On McMurry

Here's the understatement from Thursday night's college football games, Stephen F. Austin had a impressive opener to the 2011 season.

The Lumberjacks put up 82 points on McMurry who's a Division III school and won the game 82-6

SFA put up 31 points in the first quarter.

It was 53-6 at halftime.

What do you think McMurry's halftime locker room was like?

SFA totaled 668 yards of total offense.

Here are the highlights of this good ole fashioned butt-whoppin'

Russell Wilson Impressive In Badger Debut, Wisconsin Slays UNLV

Wisconsin fans, now you know.

Now you know why NC State fans didn't want to see Russell Wilson go.

Now you know why ACC defensive coordinators didn't sleep the week the Wolfpack were on the schedule.

Wilson's debut as a Wisconsin Badger was spectacular. He was his efficient self going 10-13 passing for 255 yards and two touchdowns. Wilson even rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown as Wisconsin crushed UNLV 51-17.

Russell-mania has taken over Madison, Wisconsin.

“I have been in this profession for a while and you can see guys that naturally got a little bit of something to them, some moxie, some savvy, some God-given ability that makes him love every single minute of the day." Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema said in Wisconsin's post game press conference. "Russell is a guy that has been very impressive. You’ve heard me say it a million times but I think people will see that."

"The first start was good but you have to move on and get ready for the next week." Russell Wilson said in a post game press conference. "We have a great team coming in next week and we need to prepare offensively and execute.”

Here are the highlights with a Metallica music bed. (Thanks Wisconsin Athletics.)

DEVELOPING: McCourt Offered $1.2B For Dodgers...???

It appears that Frank McCourt may be out of his mess with the LA Dodgers...

The founder of the LA Marathon, Bill Burke, along with some Chinese investors, apparently have offered $1.2B for the Dodgers, all associated real estate, and media deals...

The deal is all cash and will be on the table for three weeks. No word on whether or not either Frank or Jamie McCourt has received any correspondence from Burke or any of Burke's representatives.
