CFB Thursday Wrap, etc.

Quick bullets about the Thursday night action...
  • USC puts 49 on Hawaii... Matt Barkley was absurd (18 of 23, 257 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INT) in the win, but there is definite concern as to how Hawaii can score 36 points against that talented defense... alas, Lane Kiffin is in the win column...
  • I'm 0 for 1 on predictions... Pitt goes down to Utah in OT... the Utes were able to hold Dion Lewis in check (25 for 75) and made big plays late to hold off the Pitt comeback... pretty bad news for the Big East as their best team (IMO) loses to the 3rd or 4th best team in the Mountain West...
  • Terrelle Pryor is good at football....
  • Tim Hudson wasn't flawless last night... and as a result, the Braves couldn't get the 4-game sweep... the offensive concerns aren't going away, but I'm not at all worried about Hudson, who still was decent, and hadn't lost in almost 2 months...
  • The Rockies bullpen implodes... 9 runs in the 7th for the Phillies and a 12-11 win... the lead is 2...
  • Alabama monster DE Marcell Dareus ruled ineligible for 2 games due to improper benefits... without Ingram (probably) and Dareus for Penn State? That's concerning... fortunately Penn State isn't what they were a year ago...
Coming soon... weekend football preview... stay tuned
