Totally missed it on the Oregon game. Made the capping mistake of putting too much stock in their recent 2 games, without looking at how well they played vs. the better teams. The Ducks showed almost no new wrinkles against ASU, Arizona or the Beavers. Utah's OL was also exposed.
The Boise game was nerve wracking as their QB looked so damned apprehensive 1H. Hawaii moved the ball 1H, but couldn't convert their scoring chances. Boise finally pulled away.
LSU: Joe Burrow was a master. Even when Georgia's defense made a great play, the LSU offense just kept coming at them. I have to give LSU credit all year for not letting momentum shifts bother them one iota. Jake Fromm was the only QB in decline, although he was missing most of his playmakers.
YTD: 117-103, +6.15 units
Bowl Season is almost upon us. It is more like a one game season than an extension of the regular season. Some teams really prepare well, include some talented freshmen, and play it as if it's a meaningful game. Other teams are just glad to be in a bowl and travel, some are disappointed in their bowl placement, some are missing their coaching staff, and others just come out flat. Last season, I was rolling along pretty well until New Year's Day, when I lost 2 large plays. The Clemson win over Alabama was a nice way to end the season.
