College Football Pick for Thursday, October 4th
NCAA Football Thursday: (8) Kentucky vs. (11) South Carolina
The first week in October is traditionally known as the week when college football gets serious, and we start off right away with a great Thursday night match-up. This past week in college football will most likely go down as the biggest upset weekend of the year, with one of the most important loses coming to Florida by the hands of Auburn, making this Thursday night SEC game that much more important. Kentucky (5-0, 1-0 SEC) and South Carolina (4-1, 2-1 SEC) are both coming off victories last week. The surprising Wildcats continued to shoot up the rankings with a 45-17 victory over Florida Atlantic which saw quarterback Andre’ Johnson throw for a career high five touchdowns. For the year Johnson has already tossed 16 touchdowns with just one interception. It will be interesting to see if Johnson can keep those numbers up as he gets deep into SEC play. South Carolina got by Mississippi State 38-21, sealing the deal with two fourth quarter touchdowns. The bad news is that linebacker Jasper Brinkley, twin brother on Casper, will be out for the season do to a knee injury. Freshman quarterback Chris Smelley got his first career win in his first career start, and will most likely get the start against Kentucky.
Wildcat running backs Rafael Little and Tony Dixon have teamed up to score six touchdowns, showing they also have a ground attack. While Little gets the majority of the carriers, 82 of them at 6.7 yards per carry, Dixon has shown that he is also a threat averaging 8.1 yards on just 29 carries. Woodson’s main wide receiving threat Keenan Burton has been on the catching end of 30 of Johnson’s passes and has scored five TD’s in the process.
The biggest advantage South Carolina might have in this game is their home field advantage. This aspect is often overlooked when analyzing a game from the sidelines. What also should be considered is that both of these teams appear to be overachieving. It’s no secret that Steve Spurrier is a heck of a college football coach, and also one of the best at trick plays. He may need a few of these to sneak by Kentucky. The running back duo of Cory Boyd (68 carries, 330 yards, 4 TD’s) and Mike Davis ( 62 Carries 321 yards, 4 TD’s) have also put up solid, and almost identical numbers.
I think the Wildcats are a team on the rise, and the Gamecocks might still be a year or two away. I’m taking Kentucky 27-20, in a close contest.
College Football Pick for Saturday, October 6th
NCAA Game of the Week (9) Florida vs. (1) LSU
Up until this past Saturday this looked like it could have been a battle between top five teams. But, Auburn had to go ruin the party, and beat Florida, for the second year and a row, and drop Florida back to ninth in the country. What should also be remembered though is that the defeat to Auburn was their only loss en route to winning the national championship. Despite the Florida loss, this is still the game of the week and the biggest game in the SEC so far. The biggest and baddest team in all of college football this year has been the LSU Tigers (5-0, 2-0 SEC). After starting slow against Tulane, LSU would step up and finish the game with a 34-9 victory. The nine points they gave up actually raised their defensive average to a miniscule 6.4 points per game. Also, for most teams when you see a quarterback by committee approach you assume they are having a problem at the position. This is not true with the Tigers. When Matt Flynn is in he is passing for three touchdowns. When Ryan Perilloux is in he is passing for six touchdowns and averaging over five yards per carry when he decides to run. They can also run the ball with a steady efficiency. Jacob Hester and Keiland Williams both have four touchdowns this year, with Williams averaging 7.5 yards per carry. To put their rushing game in perspective, they have six players with over 100 yards rushing already. Talk about sharing the ball.
You can’t sleep on the Florida either though. As mentioned, when they lost last year, it appeared it woke up a sleeping giant, or in this case, Gator. This is an offense that is averaging over 42 points per game, and has a respectable defense, allowing only 19.6 points per game. Their offense relies on their Heisman contending quarterback, Tim Tebow. Tebow does it on the air and on the ground. Thru the air he has passed for 11 touchdowns and when he takes the low road he has found the end zone eight times. His main receiving targets, Percy Harvin and Cornelius Ingram have both scored three times on passes from Tebow.
Florida has surprised us before, and with this football season it wouldn’t be a shock to see an upset again. But, logical thinking suggests that the home field advantage and the lock down defense of LSU will be too much for the Gators.
