Florida Escapes Upset, USC Beat Irish, and Bradford Injured Again

Before the Yankees got lucky with a win over the Angels, there was still a day of College Football. Florida faced unranked Arkansas today in Gainesville. The Gators would be behind entering the half 10-3 but fought back and managed to score the Game winning field goal leaving Nine seconds left to play. Final Score is 23-20. Pretty impressive for Arkansas though keeping up with the best team in the nation. Meanwhile, USC and Notre Dame played yesterday with Matt Barkley the freshman prevailing over the Irish. The Irish did make a good comeback attempt but just couldn't score as time expired. After throwing 380 yards and 2 TD passes, Barkley may be the best Freshman in college.

Oklahoma played Texas as well but it seemed like week one again. Sam Bradford would be hit to the ground on his throwing shoulder and be injured once again. This has been a crappy year for Bradford. This second injury may hurt his chances of a high pick if he enters the NFL Draft in 2010. The Sooners would lose 16-13 to the Texas Longhorns. Meanwhile Alabama may have help their chances for being Number one as they beat number 22 South Carolina, 20-6. It seems like Alabama may have a strong enough team all around for a chance at a National Title. It seems like another team may have been eliminated from the Title hunt as Virginia Tech loses their second game of the year. Georgia Tech beat them 28-23. I was amazed that they were still number 4 going into this week. They will probably go back at least 10 spots.
