Some times a good slap in the face gets you on track. Fike popped Rocky Mount with a 14-0 lead mid way of the second quarter and then it happened. Rocky Mount scored 21 in about three minutes. Down 14 Rocky Mount drove the field and scored on a Nick Bynum 6 yard run. First play for Fike from scrimmage Sherrod Green picked up a loose ball and rambled 26 yards for a Gryphon Touchdown. A Fike punt after a three and out Nick Bynum goes 70 yards to give Rocky Mount 21-14 half time lead.
The Gryphons fumble the second half squib kick and Fike scores on a 35 yard drive. Rocky Mount proceeds to take two drives the first B J Sanders scores from 15 yards out to up the lead to 28-20 as the Gryphons respond to the Fike score. After a Fike Punt to RM four yard line the Gryphons go 96 yards using up nearly nine minutes and Nick Bynum caps off a great Gryphon come back 35-20
You know ever since the Big East voted Northern Nash last in the preseason even though Nash Central was still on a 20 something losing streak it has been a focus for Northern all year. Tonight Northern Nash takes out a full season of frustration on Nash Central and rolls. Ahead 34-0 at the half
The Knights play with the Bulldogs like a kitten plays with a ball 51-0 Northern Nash.
Southern Nash broke a 13-13 tie and scored with :26 seconds to play to beat the Hunt Warriors 20-13. This sets up a Rocky Mount Southern Nash winner take all game next week in Rocky Mount for the number one seed in a big East

4th Saturday In October
Got six of eight games correct last week to make my over all college guesses 58-19 on the year.
North Carolina Wesleyan 1-5 is home for home coming. Just maybe the last two losses suffered by the Battling Bishops were improving efforts as the Bishops seem close to getting another win. I'm going with the Bishops because they are playing better and home. Bishops over Greensboro College 2-4 26-23
Clemson 6-0 @ Miami 4-2: If Tigers want any part of four team playoffs they cannot sleep on any team. Miami is good but not great. Tigers win on the conference road 30-20
NC State 4-2 @ Wake Forest 3-4: I have no reason what so ever to pick the Pack in this game. Wake's offense scored 14 on Carolina which was a big day. It is do or die for Pack. 23-14 NC State
Pitt 5-1 @ Syracuse 3-3: Pitt is having a good season going up against their top conference rival. Pitt will hang on in this one. Pitt 26 Cuse 20
Boston College 3-4 @ Louisville 2-4: BC just can't score enough points to win this one. The Ville 34 BC 14
Duke 5-1 @ Virginia Tech 3-4: despite the spread in records Tech defense will give Duke offense plenty of Trouble. The question in this one is can Va Tech score on Duke's D? Duke 17 Tech 13
Virginia 2-4 @ North Carolina 5-1: the Tar Heels have convinced me. The offense is back on track and the Heels do have a defense. The only game they have left that would be considered a tossup game is Duke. Heels will be favored in every other game. Virginia has two wins at home and this one on the road. Carolina 41 Virginia 24
Florida State 6-0 @ Georgia Tech 2-5. Noles played their best game to date last week beating the Hurricanes. GT scares me cause they look better than their record. FSU plays like last week 40-24 over the rambling wreck.
Tonight is an interesting night for Big East football. If both Rocky Mount and Southern Nash win at their Wilson County game tonight they will play for the Big East #1 seed next week. If they both lose or only one lose tonight then it becomes a mad scramble to the finish. If the one that wins tonight wins next week then they are conference champs. This is of course the Big East and football is never decided before the last game of the season is finished.
