North Carolina had little to cheer about this past Saturday. A disappointing home loss to the hands of previous ACC disappointment, Virginia 16-3. Butch Davis' team is looking more like his Cleveland Browns than his Miami Hurricane.
Ball State was the darling of football a year ago by spending most of the season undefeated under the leadership of Brady Hoke. Hoke left for the perfect weather of San Diego to head up the Aztec program turning the Cardinal program over to offensive coordinator Stan Parrish. Parrish took over looking for his first win in over 25 games as a head coach. He is still looking for that one win five games into the 2009 campaign. Much can be said for continuity, but the only continuity the MAC program has right now is tied to the head coach and not a successful program.
The NCAA has looked for ways to shorten the time of football games. This year the Big Ten average has been 3:09, an improvement since 3:16 less than five years ago. But if they are truly serious about speeding up the game, please don't take unnecessary time to review plays that are called correctly and confirmed by the fan at home watching in real time.
Iowa's winning point differential against BCS-conference teams-18. Against non-BCS conference teams-2.
