Big East Leaders Looking to End Season With a Bang

Louisville Cardinals vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights
7:30 PM ET, November 29, 2012
High Point Solutions Stadium, PISCATAWAY, NJ
Coverage: ESPN/Watch ESPN

As the season is coming to an end and teams set out for what will be their last regular season game of the year, two teams, coming off weekend losses, will battle this Thursday to be sole leader in the Big East Conference.

The Louisville Cardinals once a Top 25 ranked team, seems to have fallen short with just a few games left to play. They suffered their first loss two weeks ago at Syracuse. Then, playing at home last weekend, they lost in triple overtime to Connecticut by a field goal. These losses dropped them in the standings and tying them with Rutgers at 9-2

Rutgers, on the other hand, got their first lost early in the year against Kent State. They have won out until meeting Pittsburgh last week, where they were handed their second loss of the year.

The Cardinals’ QB Teddy Bridgewater is only a sophomore, and has a few years left in him to perfect his art in Louisville. Still, he has thrown this year for a total of 3189 yards with 23 touchdowns and 6 picks. Their offensive leader, running back Senorise Perry, is a junior but I think he will be entering this upcoming NFL Draft. So, don’t expect him back next year.

The Scarlet Knights’ QB Gary Nova really stepped up in his first year as a starter, throwing for 2282 total yards and has 20 touchdowns with 13 interceptions. His favorite target, wideout

Brandon Coleman, a junior, had a career high 37 catches for 563 yards and 9 touchdowns

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are coming off a difficult Conference rival loss to the Panthers on the road, but beat both schools who just beat Louisville. They will have the advantage here, playing at home in front of their fans on the last game for the seniors on the team. It will be a very emotional time.

I expect Rutgers to come out balling in this game in front of their home crowd. I see them winning this game and taking the lead in the Conference, final score Rutgers 27 – Louisville 17.

Dr. Pepper ACC Championship Game

Florida State Seminoles (13) vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
8:00 PM ET, December 1, 2012
Bank of America, CHARLOTTE, NC
Coverage: ESPN/Watch ESPN

Both of these power houses, Florida State and Georgia Tech, are looking to put last week’s losses behind them and end the season as the ACC Conference Champion. The Seminoles are coming off a hard to swallow loss at the hands of their state rival, Florida. The Yellow Jackets experienced the same feeling coming off their loss to state rival, Georgia. The Seminoles have the clear advantage in this game with the better defense and the overall record in ACC play this season at 7-1.

The Florida State Seminoles dropped from 10^th overall to #13 in the polls. A loss in this game would not only put a huge disappointment on the entire season, but could drop them out of rankings all together, making their upcoming recruiting that much more difficult.

For QB EJ Manuel, this will be his last regular season game in college football as well as a Seminole. He is a senior and will be entering the NFL Draft this coming year. He has thrown for 2967 yards and 22 scores to go along with 9 interceptions. He will have to rally his team and hope the defense makes a firm stand against the offense of the Yellow Jackets.

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have really improved their overall run game this season, ranking 3^rd overall with 323.3 yards a game. Their scoring is also up to 36.2 points a game. Unfortunately, QB Tevin Washington really has not had the season he expected, throwing for 1097 yards with 7 scores and 3 picks. Georgia Tech looks to end their season with their first ACC Title win, something they have been close to in the past but have never achieved.

In the end, I still see the Seminoles winning this one for the Senior QB and the Florida State fans around the world. This game ends with Florida State on top 32 to 21.

Virginia Tech Plays Week 2 at Home

Austin Peay Governors vs. Virginia Tech Hokies

1:30 PM ET, September 8, 2012
Lane Stadium, BLACKSBURG, VA
Coverage: ESPN3

This is another one of those games that are stacked to one side. It’s almost not even fair that these two programs play each other. I am all for healthy competition, but beat downs just don’t teach you anything. I really wished that the scheduling would make more sense because this is basically giving a team a win and the other a loss. I know they say anything can happen. But really, last week a team lost 84 to 0 (Savannah St. / Oklahoma St.). That is not a game and the odds for this match will be astronomical.

The Austin Peay Governors are not in for a treat when they travel to Virginia to take on the Hokies. This game will be one of the most one sided games of the year. I know they will play hard and they will try their best, but the level of players and play is incomparable. The Governors lost their season opener at the hands of Western Kentucky, giving up 49 points to a team whose win could be the only one of the season.

The Virginia Tech Hokies won’t be looking forward to this game. It could almost be considered a pre-season game. I would say that it is the best time to play all the bench players and get them time on the field, while protecting your starters. This is not a game you need important players getting hurt. I just hope that they don’t run up the score and keep it respectful. I am sure that the Hokies have had scrimmages with themselves that have been more demanding than this game.

Notre Dame Suspends Two More

Whoever thought that Notre Dame Football came before rules and regulations as well as conduct, has another thing coming. Just ask suspended quarterback Tommy Rees. Rees, along with linebacker, Carlo Calabrese, got into a scuffle with a police officer during the offseason and was suspended for the season opener against Navy in Dublin, Ireland. Now we hear of another two players who have just been suspended for the first two games of the regular season… starting running back, Cierre Wood, and defensive end, Justin Utupo. It was unclear exactly what had happened with these two players. Coach Brian Kelly simply said that they had both violated the team’s rules and that is why they were being suspended.

This is a huge blow to the starting core of this football team. They have been under heavy scrutiny over their last few seasons for what some say is poor play. Of course, their difficult game schedule has not helped them in any way. Wood, who was their leading rusher last season, ran for 1102 yards and had nine touchdowns. What will really be missed is his 3^rd down efficiency…he is 90% with 5 yards or less in third down situations. Theo Riddick who played both running back and wideout last year will take Wood’s place for the first two games.

Utupo has seen mostly special teams action over his career with Notre Dame, so that will not be as much of an impact as the loss of Wood. Still, this means 4 starters have been suspended for Notre Dame’s first game. As much as I hate to say this, because I am all for second chances, I love that a power house like Notre Dame is risking so much for core values. That is the type of school I would like my kids to attend. Besides the first game overseas against Navy, both Wood and Utupo will also miss the September 8^th game at home against Purdue.

Can Ohio Take Down Goliath?

Ohio Bobcats vs. North Carolina Tar Heels
7:47 PM ET, March 23, 2012
Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis, MO
Coverage: TBS

The #13 seeded Ohio Bobcats will face their hardest adversary to date, the #1 North Carolina Tar Heels in the game that might take them to uncharted territories. Not only would this be the schools biggest win, but also, the first time they make the Elite 8… ever. The Tar Heels are dealing with some bad news on their side; starting guard Kendall Marshall broke his wrist during their win over Creighton in the final minutes of the second half. He is a big player for their squad, averaging 9 assists a game in almost 33 minutes of play. This is a crack in the door for the Bobcats who must play smart but will have a limited Tar Heel team on the assists side.

The Ohio Bobcats have made a name for themselves this season by losing only 6 games all year. They have beat big teams to get to where they are now – including taking care of #4 Michigan and #12 South Florida. They have been a Cinderella team the entire way being an underdog in both games – they have found a way to play together better than most other teams. Led by D.J. Cooper, who averages 14.9 points and 5.7 assists a game while playing 32.1 minutes; he is also known for his crafty defense. He will certainly need it, as North Carolina is lead by Harrison Barnes, who seems to be on a straight shot for the NBA. He averages 17.3 points in 28.8 minutes, while forward Tyler Zeller averages 16.4 points in 27.7 minutes of play

Defense and calm play will be key to the Ohio team. They are under-sized and out pushed but they know that position and they like it. They have proven themselves twice before. The Tar Heels better not underestimate this team, because they could be left with a long trip home. I must admit, after watching the Tar Heels play, it is very difficult to think that a Cinderella team could disrupt them to that point. They will have to be calm and calculating, looking for the extra pass. And they have to not get too confident on any leads they may get, no matter how big.
