Independents
PASS: Army, BYU
I won’t go on too much about what Army did this week.
They completely demolished Lafayette. There’s no real challenge in that. Do
better, Army.
Kilane Sitaki has to be given credit. After a sluggish
and awful start to the season, BYU has gotte it together under the running of
Jamaal Williams, and with a stout defensive effort (Toledo game subtracted),
and now BYU is 4-3, and is 2 wins away from a bowl bid. Taysom Hill, however,
is still a shell of his former self.
FAIL: Coastal
Carolina, U Mass, Notre Dame
Coastal Carolina trailed Gardner-Webb heading into the
final quarter 7-3, and then opened up with 2 scores to escape with a 17-7 win.
Their defense kept them alive in this one, but they were lucky to get away with
this win.
U Mass lost again. News flash…this is old news. At this
point, the Minutemen should consider following the Idaho road back to FCS
football, and beg the Colonial to take them back. It was a mistake to ever move
up for this program in a part of the country where college football is an
afterthought.
I was saying a couple of weeks ago that Brian Kelly was
on the hot seat, but was likely safe through 2017 either way. I can no longer
say that with certainty after the Irish were beaten by an undermanned Stanford
club at home to drop to 2-5. This tea had playoff expectations this season.
There is no good excuse for this mess, and Kelly is neck deep in it.
