Gurley Continues To Be A Monster

Todd Gurley goes over 200 yards rushing for the first time in his college career but unless Georgia comes up with a defense Georgia will not win enough games to help Todd win the Heisman even though he has shown through four games he is the best player in college  football.  Gurley had over 100 yards rushing in the fourth quarter alone.
Those of you that thought N C State wasn't that good after   the so called poor schedule had better take notice now.  They showed today with good quarterback play  they can play with anyone.  The first time this year Florida State's offense looked like last year's national championship team.  However  The Pack rushed for way too many yards on Florida State for them to make it to the National Championship game. As much improvement as the Wolfpack has shown you could just see they didn't have enough speed to play with FSU.


The Battling Bishops went on the road Saturday and won at Ferrum  34-30.  Jacque Alston rushed for more yards than Todd Gurley 218 and lead they way.  NCW now stands at 2-2 on the 2014 football season.  They are home next Saturday at 1pm.  If you have been by the Sports Complex lately you will notice there are signs calling the Football stadium at the sports Complex as Bishops Stadium.


Just about everyone in the area has completed their non-conference schedule, there will be a big game next Friday as Tarboro travels to Southern Nash.  Big East fans probably can look and see the top three being Fike, Hunt and Northern Nash.  The bottom tier looks like Southern Nash, Rocky Mount and Nash Central.  What order is up for debate.
North Carolina has scored 76 points the last two games but were outscored by 44.  You know ECU had a defense like this in Ruffin McNeil's first season in Greeenville.  This is not the first year for Larry Fedora in Chapel Hill.
Wake Forest and Duke both had no offense at all in their losses on Saturday.  Duke offense the fourth quarter was throw into double coverage and hope.
Finally this fall Pat and I have followed Campbell volleyball as we have passed through Texas, California, Arizona, Virginia and Maryland. Friday night the Lady Camels in front of about 700 fans at home in Buies Creek won their conference opener beating their top rival High Point in four sets. Morgan's freshman year the Lady Camels lost all 14 conference games and last year under new coach Greg Goral were 6-8 in the Big South. That did not get a top eight spot in and a conference tournament invite. The Lady Camels look as if they will be middle of the Big South and if they are in the conference Tournament we will add South Carolina to our road travels as the conference tournament is at Coastal Carolina in Conway. Look out Mytrle Beach here we come.
