NCAAF College Football Scores, Week 2

NCAAF College Football Scores, Week 2

It was mostly the big guys beating up on patsies again. Oh, thank heaven for Wofford, Alcorn State, Tennessee-Martin and Louisiana Monroe, who are willing to take a road beat-down for a big paycheck.

This week's examples:

* Top-ranked Ohio State shut out Hawaii. The Rainbow Warriors will also face Wisconsin and Boise State on the road in the next three weeks. (Not to be out-patsied, Louisiana Monroe hits the road for Georgia and Alabama in the first three weeks! They are like the jobbers who would take a beating in the early matches on televised rasslin'. Remember Pete Doherty, the Duke of Dorchester with a 300-match losing streak, taking on Andre the Giant?)

* #16 Texas A&M's first team was up 42-3 against Ball State before they switched to a freshman QB and other subs with two minutes left in the first half (and immediately scored another TD). They actually finished the game with their third-string QB.

There were a few exceptions to the bully/patsy rule:

#6 Auburn needed OT to defeat Jacksonville State.

#18 Arkansas actually lost at home to their would-be patsy, mighty Toledo.

Brigham Young proved not to be a patsy at all by scoring 21 unanswered points in the final quarter to beat #20 Boise State. They are now this year's official Cinderella team because this is the second consecutive week they've pulled off a stunner. (They won in Nebraska last week on a last-second Hail Mary.) BYU is now in the top 25 according to both the AP and the Coaches.

#19 Oklahoma came back from a 17-3 halftime deficit to edge #23 Tennessee by a TD.

#14 LSU held off a fourth quarter charge by #25 Mississippi State to win by two.

#5 Michigan State treated the home fans to a narrow victory over #7 Oregon.
