These rivalries are not pretty today ...

I thought maybe Michigan would hold up slightly better. Whereas, Georgia is doing to the Jackets just what most of us expected they would.

Louisville, I assumed would have had stood up, and played harder. They've been completely shutdown.

Kentucky has 517 Rushing Yards against them

Clemson is having a Leisure day out, more or less doing what they want to the Gamecocks. Starters out, cleanup crew in.

Somehow, a miserable Northwestern walloped Illinois 29-10 ... maybe caught `em flatfooted?

The best game so far has been FIU/Marshall --- This game was 10-7 to end the first half. It was 17-7 to end the 3rd Quarter, with Marshall leading. In the 4th quarter; FIU scored 2 Touchdowns to take the lead, 21-17, then the Herd marched the field back, and retook the lead 24-21. FIU has the ball, with just over a minute left --- FIU just picked up a 4th & 1, and are at their own 40.

Indiana/Purdue has been pretty decent ... the Hoosiers are gripping onto a 5 point lead. Indiana is down to running backs, which is affecting their productivity. Though they have the ball, looking to extend the spread.

As always should be the case with Rivalry games.
