The first game of the day I saw the Vols take a less talented UAB team to overtime. We got outplayed really in every quarter. The effort was there, but the execution wasn't. 3rd down was very tough all day, as its been all season. Some how the Phil Simms gene pool pulled us out with a long pass in the 2nd overtime to win. Great start to the college football Saturday.
The 2nd game of the day was looking good for me, Alabama on the ropes, late in the second half. Then Arkansas shows that "they are, who we thought they were", which is a very good team with in inability to finish against the #1 ranked Crimson Tide. Ryan Mallet was having a great game, his 3rd straight 300 yard passing game, until two key interceptions late finished off the hogs. Disappointment sets starts to set in.
Game 3, war eagle comes out dazed and confused while Steve Garcia looks like Danny Werful in the first half. South Carolina played great, right up until the 4th quarter when Garcia fumbles on two key drives, and Auburn scores on both of them. Garcia gets the predictable Spurrier hook, and in comes the backup, who shall be unamed. He throws two int's on the last two South Carolina drives, either of which would've put them in postion to tie the game with a two point conversion.
That's the way it goes in college football, even if your team wins, the majority of the teams you want to lose are not going to. That is just the way it goes.
