Another Football Saturday

Got a chance to watch Norfolk State play on ESPN-U Saturday night and the starting left tackle is Kendall Noble. Noble now a sophomore has grown just a little since leaving Rocky Mount High. He stands at 6 feet four inches tall and weights two hundred ninety five pounds. Two more years Kendall may be playing in the NFL.

Terrell Hudgins needed fourteen receptions today to tie as the all time pass catcher in the Football Championship Series. He got twelve catches for one hundred thirty eight yards. He needs just three at Furman next Saturday. If you can find it that game will be on Sports South. Elon won 28-14 over Georgia Southern.

Stephan Virgil returned back to action today for Virginia Tech as he had six assisted tackles. He was part of the Hokie defense that took JaCory Harris out of the running for the Heisman Trophy for Miami. Tech 31 Miami 7.

Everyone has been calling N C State the best team in the FCS after two weeks of scoring one hundred points against Division two team. Today N C State made steps that they haven't made since Philip Rivers left Raleigh six years ago. Pittsburgh is the preseason favorite to win the Big East but clearly in the fourth quarter the Wolfpack dominated the Panthers to win 38-31.

North Carolina's dreams of an undefeated season ended on Georgia Tech's first drive of the game. Carolina rushed for seventeen yards for the day and were never in this one. Tech 24-Carolina 7.

Wake Forest fumbles on the five yard line in overtime and loses to Boston College 27-24. What a heart breaking way to lose on a first down from the five.

Duke and North Carolina Central played for the first time ever and for the first half it was a very competitive game. However the second half was all Duke as they beat the Eagles 49-14. Get out the record book. When was the last time Duke put 49 on any body?

ECU had a struggle but they win against Central Florida 19-14. Good news for ECU fans. Notre Dame pulled a win out of their butt tonight against Purdue which for the time being has saved Charlie Weis's job at Notre Dame at least for another week. If the Pirates have a winning season they will have a hard time holding on to Skip Holtz.

Over the past thirty games in Major league baseball the Atlanta Braves have the best record. Another win today and with a week to go the Braves are now just two and a half games out of the wild card spot in the National league.
