Extra Points (College Football Edition)

1. Welcome to the Big 12?- If you missed the Baylor vs. West Virginia game on Saturday, you missed a barn burner. The score at half was tied at 35 a piece. There was barely any defense played in this game. A couple of missed field goals, a fumble and about two punts is all the fans were treated to from a defensive standpoint. Heisman candidate Geno Smith (pictured above) had a phenomenal day throwing the football. Here are his stats: 45 of 51 for 656 yards and 8 TD's. WVU had 3 receivers with 40 catches between and the 8 TD's. The Moutaineers broke 4 school records!! Completely insane numbers for football.  Baylor's quarterback wasn't bad either. Nick Florence was 30 for 48 for 582 yards and 5 TD's. Terence Williams had 17 receptions for 314 yards and 2 scores. This was exhausting typing out the stats, can only imagine with the defensive players feel like.

2. Whoa Pig Stinky!!- Arkansas coach John L. Smith has had a tough couple of weeks. First the loss to University of Louisiana-Monroe, and then losses to Bama and Rutgers and to top it all off Smith at a press conference forgets what school he is coaching. To lay this all at his feet would not be fair, the majority of the blame falls at Bobby Petrino. Petrino has and will always be a man that is void of leadership skills as well as character. And when he was fired, those players and Smith were put in an awkward position of trying to play football without a leader,specifically their leader. Its even more difficult when there is no leader on or off the field, especially when the head coach is a lame duck coach. To make matter worse for the Hogs they got blasted again by Texas A&M. This team is spiraling out of control and it all stems from a selfish act from their former coach.

3. Did I just watch a SEC game or a PAC-12 game?- Watching Tennessee vs. Georgia and one would expect a little scoring but a game that featured absolutely no defense in the SEC is just shocking. Derek Dooley is fighting for his his job and this performance by the Vols will not help his case.

4. Understand the Rule but..-The new player safety rule that states if a player loses his helmet, he must sit out the next play, is good in theory but it has it flaws. There is no punishment if a player rips off or pulls the strap off a player, that said player should have to sit out as well. Sometimes good intentions punish the wrong people.

5. Is there a better College Football announcer than Chris Speilman?-Speilman is very knowledgeable, calls the action likes he sees it. Doesn't pull any punches when a player does something boneheaded. He calls the game smart, precise and full of energy, just like he played.
