Saturday was all college football, and… a little baseball.
College Football
The featured match-up of the week, was, well, anything but competitive. USC trampled all over Ohio State 35-3. Now, many in the college football community are asking, is USC unbeatable this season?
Meanwhile, two of the most winning programs in college football collided. Notre Dame v Michigan. However, both teams entered the game… unranked. Notre Dame got the win, which was of paramount importance, as their fans hate it when they aren’t in the top 25. ND has been poor the past couple seasons, and they truly needed this win. Now they are 2-0, and fans can rest easy (at least till next week).  Their talented young QB, Jimmy Clausen, threw for 178 yards and 2TD. Notre Dame 35. Michigan 17.
UCLA, a team that many thought would really surge this year with new head coach Rick Neuheisel, didn’t exactly live up to those expectations on Saturday. They made a brilliant comeback 2 weeks ago against Tennessee, and many wondered if they could bring this winning energy to BYU. Nope. BYU absolutely throttled the Bruins 59-0. The big UCLA resurgence will have to wait until next year.
And how about this for something strange. The No. 9 Auburn Tigers beat their SEC Rival Mississippi State Bulldogs. However, get this, the score was 3-2.  A field goal (3pts) beat a holding call in the end zone, which is considered a safety (2pts). Sounds like a baseball score, right? But hey, a win is a win, and that’s all you need to move toward the National Championship.
Baseball
Speaking of baseball, a major record was set on Saturday. The Los Angeles Angels’ Closer, Francisco Rodriguez, finished off the Seattle Mariners, and broke the record for most saves in a season with 58. He eclipsed the #57 mark set by Bobby Thigpen with the Chicago White Sox in 1990. The Angles look hot right now, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them at the World Series in October.
