- USC 35 Ohio State 3 - In the most anticipated game of the early season, the Trojans utterly crushed the Buckeyes Saturday night at the Coliseum, limiting the Buckeyes to a single field goal. USC dominated every aspect of the game. Ohio State suffered its worst loss since 1994 and scored its fewest points in head coach Jim Tressel's eight seasons. The Trojans now look unstoppable. Congratulations, cousins! Fight on!!!!!! Now comes the Pac-10.
- LSU 41 North Texas 3- Charles Scott ran for touchdowns of 39 and 43 yards, Trindon Holliday scored on a 92-yard punt return, and LSU cruised to a 41-3 victory over winless North Texas on Saturday night. Now comes the SEC.
- Iowa 17 - Iowa State 5 - For the fourth time in six years, the Cy-Hawk Trophy will reside in the Hayden Fry Football Complex, following Iowa's 17-5 victory over Iowa State this afternoon inside Kinnick Stadium.Congratulations Hawkeye Ted!!!
- Lafayette 24 - Georgetown 6 - Lafayette scored a touchdown in the third quarter and added another in the fourth to break open a close game, beating Georgetown, 24-6, in the Patriot League opener for both teams at Fisher Stadium Saturday night. Sorry about that Willy the Hoya. Better luck next Saturday
- Florida and Texas A&M were idle - Florida travels to Tennessee next Saturday and Texas A&M hosts Boo--hoo U, Randy Shannon's crybabies from the formerly proud University of Miami.

Joaq,
Thanks, again, for a great re-cap. Well done. You guys play Tennessee this week, and, judging from their results against former college team UCLA, you guys should turn Rocky Top into the Big Top and have a circus of a time in Knoxville.
UCLA got absolutely waxed against BYU, which, believe it or not, sports the longest winning streak in College Football.
Today, the L.A. Times was full of articles on the SC-OSU game, as you can imagine. One guy (I think it was Chris Dufresne) wrote that SC was a "surrogate SEC team". I love it!!! He was basically saying what we have said all along; that the SEC and, now SC, are playing a brand of college football not seen anywhere else. We are far and away the class of the Nation. This is not bragging. I think we should relish these times as they do not come along often. It has either been SC, Florida, or LSU at the top the last several years. Nobody else is close. Only Texas was able to squeeze in there a couple of years ago. Otherwise, for the rest of the Nation, it has been playing for the second tier of the top 10.
Fantastic times. We loved having Ricardo with us. I will await Nora and Rick's post as I do not want to steal their thunder. What a great story; very worthy of the blog.
Take care,
Victor
Good comment, Victor. I've actually been reading the LA Times sports section but missed Dufresne's comment about SC being a surrogate SEC team. I love this blog!!! It simultaneously keeps me close to my familia out on the West Coast and expands my love of college football exponentially-- coast to coast! Keep posting!!!
