Dick and Nutt Stuff LSU’s Title Bid
Posted by rich on November 24, 2007
It’s been a wild, wild season in college football. And all immature jokes aside (of which there are plenty), Houston Nutt, Casey Dick, and the two running back deities at Arkansas played yet another wild game and beat the LSU Tigers in Death Valley in three overtimes. It was the second time this season that LSU had fallen in triple overtime, the previous one coming against Kentucky. And an even more mind blowing fact? This was the twelfth time this season that an unranked team beat a top five ranked team. Twelve freaking times.
How great is Darren McFadden? Every time there was crucial play in the game, Houston Nutt would pull Casey Dick and just have McFadden line up as the QB. Why not? The idea of football is to get the ball into the hands of your playmakers and Nutt took that to the most literal extent. McFadden’s 200+ yards rushing against arguably the best run defense in college fooball has surely vaulted him back into Heisman contention. And how about Felix Jones? Playing in McFadden’s shadow, Felix Jones has dominated all season and had over 100 yards as well yesterday.
Well, this sure throws a wrench into the proverbial BCS spokes. If you ask me, LSU is still the best team in college football with Florida coming in at second and West Virginia being third. Yet, barring a loss to Missouri today, the Kansas Freaking Jayhawks are the top dog in the land. No, we aren’t talking college football. No, we aren’t talking college co-eds. We’re talking about the Kansas Jayhawks being number one in college football. Hard to grasp, I know. I have two words for that piece of crap computer that prints out the BCS rankings. Playoff system.
