Division 1 game of the week is tonight (well, Friday morning if you live in the UK) - featuring undefeated #3 West Virginia at undefeated #5 Louisville. Although the Cardinals lost NFL prospect Michael Bush to a season ending injury early in the season, Kolby Smith has picked up the reins and Russell Levine and Vinny Gauri of Pro Football Prospectus commented before the college season started that '...Brohm reminds us a little of (gasp) Peyton Manning...'
Michael Bush could medical redshirt next season which would give him another year of eligibility; more to follow as and when but good luck to him.
The Mountaineers have their own QB/RB tandem: sophomores Steve Slaton (RB) and Pat White (QB) are the reasons that West Virginia leads the NCAA in average rushing yards per game.
No doubting their Heisman credentials, but that font is dreadful.
Should be a pretty good game. I'm going to refrain from guessing the winner, but I'll post the score when I know what it is.
If I get round to it, I'll try to post something about the other all top 25 clashes - #13 LSU (6-2) at #8 Tennessee (7-1) and #16 Boston College (7-1) at #22 Wake Forest* (7-1), but as this weekend looks as if there might be a lot of beer drinking taking place, I might have to refer to them in passing later on.
#11 Notre Dame (7-1) entertains North Carolina (1-7), my guess would be a comfortable win for the Irish, especially as the Tar Heels just got rid of their coach . And why 'Tar Heels'? Here's why. Well, we're all learning something today I hope. I certainly am.
*I had to look up where Wake Forest actually was; it's here.
