Welcome back sports fans! I hope you enjoyed last night's sports scene as much as I did. Never have I ever seen such an amazing night. Of course I'm talking about the incredible World Series game, but let's not forget Case Keenum threw Nine TDs in a game and that the Jets and Flyers combined for 17 goals last night!
So let's start from the biggest story of the night. The Rangers had a chance to win their first World Series in team history. All they had to do was beat the Cardinals in St. Louis. It was not going to be an easy task. The first six innings of this game were a joke. Errors all over the place and other big flops. Then in the 7th, the Rangers got two big home runs. At this point, it looked like the game could be over. Thank God I didn't change the channel. Over the next three and a half innings the Cards came down to their last out twice and escaped both situations. David Freese was as clutch as anyone could be and the home town kid came up big twice. Is this the most memorable World Series in recent memory? Defiantly. Every game has been intense and I'm so glad that this game is going to seven games. I can't wait to see this final game tonight because which ever team wins will have really deserved it and baseball will be going out with a bang.
While this crazy game was going on, there was another one going on in the heart of Texas. Case Keenum exploded for nine touchdowns in a game against Rice. He burned the secondary nearly every time he touched the ball. Houston ended up with 73 points and a huge statement win. I find this so impressive. I haven't heard of any quarterback at any level achieve a feat such as this. Move over Andrew Luck because here comes Case! I know that Houston doesn't play the same caliber of opponents as Stanford, but nine touchdown passes are impressive. If I was a NFL owner, I would give this kid a good long look. I feel that he has the skills to really make a name for himself as a pro and still has plenty more to do in college. Can I see Houston in a big bowl game this Winter? You bet I can!
Hockey is often lost in the buzz of football and the World Series, but last night one game stood out to me. The Winnipeg Jets and Philadelphia Flyers put up a football score last night as the Jets won 9 to 8. Let me say that again 9 to 8. it was the highest scoring game in the past 15 years. All I can say is wow, what a terrible game for the goalies. The Flyers have had a terrible time trying to get a good goalie and by the looks of it, the search continues. Maybe it was a bad game for both net minders, but no matter what, it was a great game to watch. I'm so glad that hockey is back in Winnipeg and to see the Jets get a great win was a joy!
With last night out of the way, its time to get to those picks!
#5 Clemson vs Georgia Tech- After a big loss to Miami last week (called it!), the Rambling Wreck will be back to try to beat Clemson. I see another upset in the ACC and I think the Techies will win 24-21!
#6 Stanford vs USC- Luck will be play at the top of his game and will has a Heisman performance as the Cardinal beat the Trojans 42-31
#9 Oklahoma vs #8 Kansas State - KSU is possibly the surprise team of the year. The passing game will need to give a little support to the Wildcats run game. I see the Sooners losing for the second straight week as the Wildcats continue their storybook season 28-21
#11 Michigan State vs #14 Nebraska - The Corn huskers have been a bit shaky all year. MSU has had a crazy couple weeks and I think they are vulnerable. Nebraska takes care of the Spartans defense and wins 19-14.
Other Picks
CMU vs Akron ~ Chips win 31-21.
#15 Wisconsin vs OSU ~ Badgers win 21-17
Redskins vs Bills ~ Bills win 42-7
Cowboys vs Eagles ~ Eagles win 21-14
Patriots vs Steelers ~ Steelers win 24-10
Well their are the picks for this week! Hope you enjoy the weekend and thanks for reading!
