Best and Worst Performances from Saturday NCAA Football

By: John Onan

Impressive

LSU: First off, as I stated in another thread, big emotional winfor LSU. Was supposed to be a home game for the Tigers, but theyhad to travel to Tempe, a very tough place to win. They didn'tquit when a lot of team would've, and got the victory.

Notre Dame: Charlie Weis has had the best two weeks of any newcoach in college football, and it's not far fetched to believethey have a legit shot at beating USC in a couple weeks. Theyshould be able to put up some points in that one at home, it'sjust a question of if the D can force some turnovers and if theoffense helps keep Leinart, Bush and Co. off the field

Texas: Gotta hand it to much-maligned Mac Brown and his troops.They go into a very hostile environment and get a come frombehind victory. Vince Young is for real, for those who don'talready know. They have solidified themselves as top challengerto USC.

Clemson: Whitehurst and Merriweather lead them to a win overMaryland, in what was a classic let down/sandwich game after thebig win over Texas A & M, and with Miami coming up next week.

Disappointments

btw, I'm gonna give Michigan a pass, as they got beat by a teamthat I see as being "at their level". Not a huge upset, in myopinion.

Oklahoma: They pulled away from a mediocore Tulsa team in the4th quarter, but Stoops realizes this QB situation istroublesome. So bad infact, that they didn't throw the ball atall in the second half. It may not be a bad time to bring theBarry Switzer option back to Norman.

Pittsburgh: Wannstedt and Cavanaugh have officially wrecked thatprogram and Tyler Palko in the process. No matter how badly theywere spanked by Notre Dame the previous week, no excuse forlosing this one versus an inferior opponent. Happy to see FrankSolich get a big victory for the Ohio U program, though.

TCU: This is a young team off a HUGE upset, so I can't be tooupset with them. But, definately a disappointment losing to SMU.Maybe TCU really isn't very good, judging by OU's woes.Patterson is an excellent coach, and they'll rebound
