Week Two College football

Thursday Night high school football
 Final  South Johnston 41 Southern Nash 40 ot
 Half  Northern Nash 6 Laney 0 Weather delay game to be finished tonight

Started the season out at 13-2 and quite frankly not very many hard games opening week.  Most of the big boys played patsies.  Missed both of the tough games picking Texas and Louisville and both lost.  New week but another week of  soft schedules in most cases.  Let's  start with the first conference tilt of 2015.

Wake Forest 1-0 @ Syracuse 1-0:  Wake Forest just not good enough in this one Cuse 31- Wake 20

The next game is almost a conference game when Notre Dame 1-0 travels to Virginia 0-1.  Notre Dame looked for real in holding Texas to a field goal.  Virginia just got beat by UCLA.  If the Fighting Irish are for real this if no game.  Irish 34 Virginia 7

Lincoln University 1-0 @ North Carolina Wesleyan 0-1:  Second of three straight home games and
Fighting Bishops need to win at home.  Lincoln 30 Bishops 21

ECU 1-0 @ Florida 1-0:  Don't think the Pirates played well enough  last week to expect upset this week.  If it is close Pirates season will be ok a blowout and Pirates could be in for long season.  Gators 36 Pirates 14

Eastern Kentucky 1-0 @ N C State 1-0:  I think if Pack stays healthy 9 or 10 wins possible.  In order for that to happen this game is a must.  Pack 35 E Ky 20

North Carolina Central 1-0 @ Duke 1-0:  not much of a road game for Central but Duke stings the walk back.  Duke 44 NC Central 24


North Carolina A&T 1-0 @ North Carolina 0-1:  This should make it a sweep for the Triangle big three.  Carolina 45 A&T 20

Miami 1-0 @ Florida Atlantic 0-1:  Another game for the ACC to fatten is non conference record.  Canes 52 FA 22

South Florida 1-0 @ Florida St 1-0:  This game is not necessarily a soda pop game for the Noles. FSU 35 South Florida 24

Tulane 0-1 @ Georgia Tech 1-0 :  Tulane will be 0-2 in ACC after this one.  Tech 52 Tulane 7

App St 1-0 @ Clemson 1-0:  The Mounties lose their first game.  Tigers 44  Mountaineers 17

Furman 0-1 @ Virginia Tech 0-1:  Short week for the Hokies after revenge loss to Ohio State.  QB injury could be fatal as conference games approach Tech 24 Furman 10

Pitt 1-0 @ Akron 0-1:  Pitt handles Chuck Amato's  defense.  Pitt 35 Akron 20

Houston 1-0 @ Louisville 0-1:  This no cake walk either.  Good come back feel short for the Cards in Atlanta.  They find their first win Ville 35 Houston 28

Howard 0-1 @ Boston College 1-0: Howard was bombed in Boone won't do any better in Boston.  BC 38 Howard 7

Friday Night Picks

Got five of seven picks right last week to give my overall record so far this high school season to 18-3.  All three misses have been bad misses that I had the score almost right but for the wrong team winning. Try to do better this week.

North Edgecombe 1-1 @ SE Halifax 1-1 I think  the Warriors are for real.  They win at SE in a close game 26-20

Franklinton  2-1 @ Tarboro 3-0:  could be interesting game if the Vikings  let it be with fumbles and mistakes.  Find it hard to see Franklinton winning. Tarboro 26 Franklinton 14

Southern Nash  3-0 @ South Johnston 3-0:  This could be a dog fight.  This will be a game in order to win you will have to play excellent football.  S Johnston 28 Southern Nash 26

SouthWest Edgecombe  3-0 @ Nash Central 1-2:  I told you a couple weeks back Nash Central could have two or three wins by conference time.  This week was not one of those win weeks.  SWE 30 Nash Central 14.

Laney 0-3 @ Northern Nash 0-3:  Neither team has put together anything resemblance of  a possible win. Laney can't stop anybody while Northern can't score on offense.  Laney in a sweeker.  20-14

Holmes 1-2 @ Rocky Mount 2-1:  Holmes may fall to 1-A but a possibility they may ask to play up next year.  Rocky Mount looks like real deal and can not afford let down with two big 4-A games on the horizon. Gryphons 45 Edenton 20.

Cary Christian 1-1 @ RMA 2-1:  The Eagles have a real shot at winning their third in a row.  Cary's lone win was 8-6 over Halifax Academy.  RMA rolls 45-6

South Lake Christian Academy @ NorthEast Carolina Prep 2-0:  Great start for Mike Mabry's  troops.   Handled RM Prep and now here comes a teams from Charlotte area.  Have no idea about this one and neither of  NECP victories are head turners against quality teams.  Just don't know how good South Lake is.  South Lake 26 NECP 20.

Rocky Mount Prep is idle.
