Well, it was a bit of a mixed weekend for me. Out of my three teams in college football – two lost. Here is the quick summary:

MTSU was hot off the heels of a SunBelt Championship. However, any momentum that they had is sinking fast, very fast. MTSU Lost to fellow SunBelt team Florida Atlantic 14-27, and trust me, it wasn’t nearly that close. MTSU couldn’t even score until the fourth quarter. Oh, and next week, they have #8 Louisville. If they could pull this one off, it would be on par with Appalachian State (almost). I can hope.

Tennessee spanked Cal last year. 35-0 at half-time. So obviously they were a bit angry at Tennessee for messing up their season (only regular schedule loss last year). They were ready this year. Tennessee and Cal kept pace for the first half. However, after a few error right before the half, things started to unravel slightly. Tennessee showed signs of life at the end of the third/beginning of the fourth quarter, but the defense couldn’t hold off Cal forever. Cal eventually overtook them and won 45-31.

The University that writes my paychecks fared quite a bit better though (sorry for this one Brook). Georgia Tech traveled to South Bend and absolutely demolished any Brady Quinn euphoria that was left over at Notre Dame from last season. The final score was 33-3. Ouch. Go Buzz!

All in all, I think I speak for all fans when I say that I am just glad that college football is back. I don’t think any of my teams have a national title shot this year, but just getting to watch some great college football is a reward in itself.
