12th Week Recap

Here's The Recap for the 12th week of the season for the principal blog participants:

• Fordham 17 Georgetown 0 - Fordham opened up a 10-0 lead at the half and added another score in the third quarter en route to a 17-0 win over Georgetown in front of 2,758 fans at Jack Coffey Field Saturday afternoon. Willy, your Hoyas need to show more consistency. They got cocky after last week's resounding victory. You need to take them to school. Better luck next week!

• Iowa 22 Purdue 17 - In yet another nail-biting episode, the Hawkeyes watched a desperation pass from Purdue quarterback Curtis Painter sail over everyone's head for an incompletion as time expired, giving Iowa its seventh win on the season. Congratulations Hawkeye Ted!

• Baylor 41 Texas A&M 21 - With a couple of long passes and some nifty pitches, Robert Griffin helped lead Baylor to a rare victory over Texas A&M that ensured the turnover-plagued Aggies a losing season. Griffin threw touchdown passes of 31 and 55 yards and Jacoby Jones ran for two scores after taking late pitches from Griffin in Baylor's 41-21 victory Saturday. It was only the second time the Bears won in their last 23 meetings against Texas A&M. Sorry about that, Aggiepete. Big 12 is rockin' as you predicted, though. Some real razzle-dazzle teams.

• LSU 40 Troy 31 - Concho, Luisleon, you had me scared to death! I was driving back from The Swamp last night, catching up on late games on the radio, and I hear that LSU is down 28 points! I immediately called LL and not only did our dear Cuban Cajun not know the score. He didn't even know who LSU was playing. You've given up on your Tigers, man! What happened to my team win or lose??? I've got to rally you back to Geaux Tiger frenzy. You guys had a heroic comeback. The biggest comeback in LSU history! And you missed it!!! LSU rallied from 28 points down to beat Troy. The Trojans led 31-3 midway through the third quarter before the Tigers came storming back for the largest comeback in school history, outscoring Troy 30-0 in the fourth. Way to defend the honor of the SEC. Geaux Tigers!

• SC 45 Stanford 23 - After a sluggish first half by Southern California, it looked as if there could be another Stanford stunner.Then the Trojans took control of the trenches and the game to put last year's shocking loss to the Cardinal to rest. Stafon Johnson ran for two second-half touchdowns and C.J. Gable also scored twice to help No. 6 USC overcome an early deficit and deal a dose of revenge to Stanford with a crushing victory Saturday. USC head coach Pete Carroll remains undefeated against Pac-10 foes who beat him the previous year, moving to 9-0 in such games. Even more impressive is Carroll's November record at USC which moved to 26-0. Congratulations Trojans!

• Florida 56 South Carolina 6 - Florida played well. Hope we keep it up.
