Weekend Thoughts

• I think we saw the two best quartbacks in the country battle it out in Lexington Saturday afternoon. No disrespect to Mike Hart, Matt Ryan, or anybody else, but at this point Tim Tebow and Andre' Woodson are probably the top two Heisman contenders. Woodson went 35-50 for 415 and 5 TD's with no interceptions and Tebow may have been even better, connecting on 18 of 26 throws for 256 and 4 touchdowns to no interceptions while also running for 78 yards and another TD.

• Mike Patrick and Todd Blackledge made a big deal about how the game clock would have ran out had Matt Flynn's pass fallen incomplete, however replays showed that Demetrius Byrd actually caught the ball with about 4 seconds left and if he had dropped it there likely would have been time to kick the FG. Still, give Les Miles credit for taking a shot at the end zone there when many other coaches would have just moved the ball to the middle of the field and relied on their kicker to win it.

• So much for my UT backing. The Volunteers basically went out and shat the bed on Saturday in Tuscaloosa. With a chance for sole possession of first in the SEC east, UT got another awful performance out of their defense. This is becoming somewhat of a trend in big games, as they have given up an average of 39.75 points in big games, and that includes holding UGA to 14 at home three weeks ago.

• Vandy has found a QB. In his first career start Mackenzi Adams played a great first half as the Commodores took a 17-0 first quarter lead and held on for the biggest victory maybe in school history. Replacing pre-season All-SEC third team QB Chris Nickson, who was benched due to poor play, Adams lead VU matched his career total of TD passes in the first quarter with two. If Adams continues to play well Vanderbilt could be headed for a bowl game for the first time since 1983.

• People should start listening to Steve Spurrier. Spurrier has been telling whoever would listen that his Gamecocks were overrated at 6-1 and #6 in the country. Turns out he was right.

• Thats the last upset I pick for Ole' Miss. After putting my confidence in them two weeks in a row and having them let me down twice and getting blown out this week, the Rebels will have to earn back the confidence I've lost in them.
