Pirates Pluck The Turkeys

After shocking Ohio State last week Virginia Tech was primed  for a major letdown and ECU was prepared to roast the turkey.  The Pirates jump on Tech for three first quarter touchdowns and took rest of the game off until the very end.

The Gobblers scored twice in the fourth quarter  to tie the game at 21 but the Pirates decided that they had one more score to make and the Pirates pull off a dandy beating Virginia Tech in Blacksburg 28-21.

Regardless of how Georgia finishes their season this year Tood Gurley rushes for 131 yards on 20 carries and at times many of those yards came with absolutely no blocking.  He did have a 54yard td run called back but the Bulldogs Lose at South Carolina.  If Gurley stays healthy he will win the Heisman trophy because I can't see any network not wanting Georgia for National TV.  He has become a darling on Sports Center.

Duke jabs Kansas 41-3.  Can you believe  that Duke is now a juggernaut?

NCState wins their first road game in the Dave Doeren era winning at South Florida 49-17

Carolina had the day off and they got an eye full watching the a Pirates.

North  Carolina Wesleyan shuts out Lincoln 27-0.  It is the first Battling a Bishop Shutout in three years.  They open conference play Thursday night at home.  Thursday Night?  No not ESPN but Saturday is the Down East Viking Classic at the Sports Complex.

Finishing up Friday night football RMA remained undefeated as they best StDavids 60-42.

More surprises from Saturday.  Virginia beat Louisville  and Boston College upset Southern Cal in Boston.
