What a week of football. I do not even know if I would consider any football games this week a good game. The score was either 0-31 or 62-12. Some teams just got pummeled and I was actually expecting a decent game.
BYU played Michigan at the big house and I was expecting a very competitive and intense game. I listened to the first half of the game through the radio since I did not have access to a TV. I really could not believe what I was hearing. It was touchdown after touchdown after touchdown, and BYU was playing so poorly. The radio broadcaster even said that Jake Rudock, who is the Michigan quarterback, was not a good quarterback whatsoever. He just happened to play well with BYU. Maybe it is because BYU was making way too many mistakes. Either way, this game really made BYU look bad. I was able to watch the third quarter. Eventually, I stopped watching because BYU was not playing at their best and I honestly did not enjoy the game. I am sure a lot of BYU fans were disappointed and we will see how they against UCONN next week.
Since BYU did not play at their best, I decided to watch other games because I needed at least a good football game to watch, right? Alabama played UL Monroe. Exactly what you are thinking, it is a no brainer. Of course Alabama was going to win and they did! The score was 34-0 and that was exactly what I expected. This was the perfect game for Bateman to get more comfortable on the field and also develop more skills. I read this article recently and I really liked what the writer had to say about Coker. Nick Saban has not officially named his starting quarterback yet and there is a good reason why Coker would be frustrated. I was disappointed that they started Bateman last week with Ole Miss. In my opinion, a Freshman should not be a starting quarterback for one of the toughest games in the season. The true test will come next week. Alabama will be visiting Georgia next week and I will be honest, I am terrified. I know Georgia is doing very well this season, unfortunately. Alabama's biggest threat will be Malcolm Mitchell. He is Georgia's wide receiver. I could definitely see him going pro. By the end of this season he could definitely be in the top 50 best wide receivers in college football.
So I want to mention the Utes for a moment.
What in the world happened!! 62-10?? I would expect that from Oregon, but Utah?! I am convinced that I am in a bad dream and Utah is the reason for it. I knew Wilson just got back from a shoulder sprain he had and he was still able to throw 227 yards! I am still speechless. Anyways, let's see how they play with California next week. Time will tell if it is luck or pure talent.
Next week I will be evaluating the Alabama vs. Georgia game. I apologize in advance if I only write about my anxiety and frustration for that game. It will be intense and my heart rate will for sure escalade.
