College Football News

Yet again another great college football weekend, also some more top upsets. This week was the first week of Breast Cancer Awareness Month or how I like to say it Cancer Awareness Month. It started with some great news for the Boston College Football team and fans; junior linebacker, Mark Herzlich was diagnose with cancer. In May, he came out and said that he had Ewing's Sarcoma, which is a malignant tumor that is found in the bone or soft tissue. Then on Saturday during College Game day on ESPN, Mark came out and said that the doctors are 99% sure that he is cancer free. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is like one the best stories ever this week. In honor of the news, Boston College beat Florida State 28-21.

The Miami Hurricanes played their 4th ranked team this week against the Oklahoma Sooners, it was a great game I must add. Hurricanes QB Jacory Harris had 2 interception in the first half, which was just awful, I honestly thought that they were going to lose the game with all those mistakes the offense was making. Thankfully, the Canes defense was on point keeping the Sooners out of the end zone. Second half came and the Canes were back making touchdowns and winning the game 21-20.


Here are some of the scores from Saturday's games:
  • Alabama 38 Kentucky 20
  • LSU 20 Georgia 13
  • UC Davis 16 Boise State 34
  • Virginia Tech 34 Duke 26
  • USC 30 California 3
  • Oklahoma 20 Miami (FL) 21
  • Ohio State 33 Indiana 14
  • Michigan 20 Michigan State 26
  • Georgia Tech 42 Mississippi State 31
