Week 3 Games to Watch

Ed Wilkins | College Football Analyst

Tennessee 2-0 @ #4 Oklahoma 2-0 ABC 8:00PM

Trevor Knght throws for 299 and 2 touchdowns vs Tulsa

·    Bob Stoops is not shy to say that his team can compete with the SEC. Oklahoma did defeat Alabama in Sugar Bowl last season and this Saturday the Sooners meet their first test against a rising Volunteers team. Oklahoma’s defense has been lights out this season. The Sooners defense only has allowed 3 points in the first half! Do not sleep on Tennessee at all because the Vols have the type of speed on defense that can disrupt the quarterback. Keep your eyes on linebacker AJ Johnson to have an impact in this game. All eyes will be on Trevor Knight and Sterling Shepard when Oklahoma has the football. This will be a close football game!

#12 UCLA 2-0 vs Texas 1-1 (AT&T Stadium) FOX 8:15PM
Brent Hundley completed 69% of his passes in UCLA first two games

·    For many, the Bruins were big favorites to make it into the College Football Playoffs. UCLA won their first two games but dropped 5 spots in the AP Top 25. UCLA gave up 469 yards to Memphis last week but the reports out of Los Angeles state that there isn’t any panic as long as they win ball games. Texas has not looked impressive under new Head Coach Charlie Strong. The Longhorns were blown out by BYU in their own stadium. Longhorn quarterback Tyrone Swoopes looks to put Texas back on the map with a big upset. To win they will have to force turnover against another mobile quarter by the name of Brent Hundley. UCLA and Texas have split six meetings with the Longhorns winning the most recent 49-20; does history repeat on Saturday?


#6 Georgia 1-0 @ #24 South Carolina 1-1 CBS 2:30
Todd Gurley gained 293 all-purpose yards vs #16 Clemson

·    Just two weeks ago South Carolina was the favorites to win the SEC East.  Two weeks later the Georgia Bulldogs stroll into Columbia the SEC East favorite. The Bulldogs had an impressive opener against Clemson where Todd Gurley went “Beast Mode” including a 100 yard kick return. South Carolina led by just 4 over East Carolina at halftime. The Gamecocks are banking on this home game showdown to defeat Georgia and regain control of the division. The main focus for South Carolina, shut Gurley down but that’s more easy to say than do. With a loss South Carolina can most likely kiss the SEC championship and Playoff spot good-bye. Look for the Gamecocks to play like there is no tomorrow.

The NFL has Failed Colin Kaepernick.

Google Why hasn't any NFL team signed Colin Kaepernick yet or will they for that matter? Does he even deserve another chance ? It's hard to make a case for him as of late, I mean in his last 24 starts he is just 4-20 which is awful to say the least. But lets be honest the San Fransico 4'9ers are an awful organization that was doomed the day they let Jim Harbaugh walk out the door. He was put into a position to fail as a quarterback over the past 2 seasons. So yes this man deserves another shot in the NFL. Since 1995 the 4'9ers have reached one Super Bowl and guess who was the quarterback? That's right Kaep!! He has 72 career touchdowns to just 30 interceptions, 2300 career rushing yards. In his first career post season game he totaled 444 total yards of offense with 4 touchdowns. This guy is a stud and you mean to tell me he can't even be a back up? Its not what's happening on the field because guys like Jay Cutler, Nick Foles, Blaine Gabbert, keeping f

Warriors Clinch Number 1 Seed

By -
Last night the Golden State Warriors clinched their 3rd consecutive number 1 seed in the western conference playoffs with a 12 0-111 victory over the Phoenix Suns.  Stephen Curry finished the game 8-13 from 3-point range on the way to 43 points and 11 assist. Klay Thompson chipped in 22 points as the Warriors win their 13th straight game. During the Warriors winning streak Stephen Curry is 26.3 points and assist per game and shooting 46% from the 3-point line. As a team Golden State has figured out how to play at a high level despite losing their leading scorer Kevin Durant a little over a month ago. Losers of 4 out of their first 6 games without KD, the Warriors average margin of victory during their the streak is 15.3 points per game. Also with the win, Golden State become the 1st NBA team to win 65 games for 3 straight seasons. The Warriors have been the best team in the NBA since Steve Kerr took over 2 seasons ago. After adjusting to the Durant injury this team looks unbeatable

Tony Romo Retires

By -
ESPN reports this morning that Tony Romo, former Dallas Cowboy starting quarterback will announce his retirement to pursue a career in broadcasting. Last season Romo's season was cut short due to a compressed fracture in the L1 vertebrae. While sidelined, Rookie Dak Prescott led Dallas to a 13-3 record, best since the 2007 season. Rumors swirled about trading Romo to the Texans, Broncos and a couple of more team. Romo will become the 5th lead commentator for CBS after taking Phill Simms spot. Don't think for a second this is a decision based on Tony's ability to still play football. He has plenty of game left. Romo would start in Denver, Houston, and Cleveland right now. Being in this position at CBS is a once in a lifetime opportunity. At 36 years old, and multiple season-ending injuries, it was time to think about life after football. Tony Romo is charismatic, well-spoken and will be a great addition to the CBS family.
