Report Card: Week 8

Okay, so not all the games went according to my plans yesterday. But I think I did pretty well with my predictions.

#7 Texas Tech def. Texas A&M, 43-25
Yes, I said Tech would win big and they did. But A&M led at the half and kept me biting my nails. Tech only put up 561 yards of total offense... I was 239 off.
Grade: 9 out of 10

#19 South Florida def. Syracuse, 45-13
USF covered my meager 7 point spread. 'Cuse let me down by getting crushed.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Northwestern def. Purdue, 48-26
The Wildcats opened up a can with a 24 point second quarter. Big game for Bacher.
Grade: 7 out of 10

#10 Georgia def. #22 Vanderbilt, 24-14
Georgia had this game in the bag the whole way through, but Vandy made it look close. I called a dozen, Georgia won by a dime.
Grade: 9 out of 10

Eastern Illinois def. SE Missouri State, 24-21
Looks like it was a close game. Still, nobody cares.
Grade: 10 out of 10

#6 USC def. Washington State, 69-0
It was disgusting. My prediction that the Cougars would put up a field goal was a bit optimistic.
Grade: 9 out of 10

#12 Ohio State def. #20 Michigan State, 45-7
Holy crap, the Buckeyes unloaded on MSU. Terrelle Pryor and Beanie Wells might be the most dangerous backfield in college football. I was way off.
Grade: 0 out of 10

UCLA def. Stanford, 23-20
UCLA stepped up to keep hope alive for this season. I'm disappointed in Stanford.
Grade: 2 out of 10

#3 Penn State def. Michigan, 46-17
Michigan scored a little more than I thought they would, but apparently decided to just not play the second half. Penn State is another step closer to a national title.
Grade: 9 out of 10

#1 Texas def. #11 Missouri, 56-31
Missouri lost this one in the first half and came up with trash points after halftime to preserve a very thin shred of their dignity. Longhorns look scary good.
Grade: 8 out of 10

Illinois def. Indiana, 55-13
Juice Williams is the most exciting QB in college football. I said he'd score more by himself than Indiana would as a team; he did it in the first quarter.
Grade: 10 out of 10

Boston College def. #17 Virginia Tech, 28-23
The Eagles won this game in the first half. The Hokie offense looked atrocious. Nice effort from the D though.
Grade: 3 out of 10

Final Grade: 69%
