College Football Thanksgiving Weekend Primetime Quick Thoughts

Stanford 28, Notre Dame 14 – Andrew Luck may have won the Heisman with 4 touchdowns. Because as we all know, the best way to win the Heisman is to destroy Notre Dame late in the season (ask USC players of the last decade).

South Carolina 34, Clemson 13 – The Tigers peaked in October and it showed here. Also, they haven't played well since clinching division, just like two years ago. As for South Carolina, where was this performance against Arkansas a few weeks back?

Mississippi St. 31, Ole Miss 3 – A sign for how it bad it was doomed to be for Ole Miss: they had a touchdown overturned on replay with 10 seconds left.

Baylor 66, Texas Tech 42 – Robert Griffin III got hurt, but Texas Tech's pass defense is so bad that it doesn't matter as long as the receivers can still run, and run they did, free and unchecked.

Florida St. 21, Florida 7 – This game was all manners of ugly and miserable. Florida St. didn't get 100 yards of offense and was never in any danger of losing this game. As for Florida, the offense hasn't improved at all since the debacle at Auburn in October.

Louisiana Tech 44, New Mexico St. 0 – Sonny Dykes has himself a conference championship and maybe a chance to move to a better job.

Washington 38, Washington St. 21 – The blocked punt early set the tone and the Huskies played well after a few weeks of struggling. Wazzu finished much improved, but still not good enough.

USC 50, UCLA 0 – Matt Barkley was amazing and UCLA was not. If the game went longer, it could have been 100-0. For UCLA, they now have to get refocused. There is a conference championship to win. Seriously. Ok, we can all hope the Bruins don't get humiliated on Friday at Oregon and if they do, hopefully the humiliation is not as bad as last year's nationally televised debacle in Eugene.
