Ness Notes Jan 4th
The first line of the AP story recapping last night's Orange
Bowl called it a "game for the ages." What game was that
reporter watching?
Did he notice the 7-0 score with just over four minutes left in
the first half, before an 87-yard punt returned sparked a
three-TD barrage before the break. How about the EIGHT
consecutive possessions to open the second half before a team
made a first down? Then, after Penn St took a 16-13 lead on a
safety early in the 4th quarter, the Nittany Lions botched a
snap on a 1st-and-goal at the four-yard line, losing an
opportunity to go up by nine points with around eight minutes
left!
Maybe he was referring to the fact that FSU had a grand total of
SIX first downs before the team's game-tying drive in the fourth
quarter? By the way, FSU finished with a total of 26 yards
rushing and had 129 yards in penalties. The FSU kicker missed an
extra-point in the first half and two FGs in overtime (there's
something new for that school!).
As for Penn St, before kicking the game-winner in the third OT,
its kicker missed a 29-yarder in regulation which would have won
it and a 38-yarder in the 1st OT which also would have won the
game! If that's a "game for the ages", let's pray tonight's Rose
Bowl ISN'T!
Speaking of the Rose Bowl, it's just the latest in a long line
of "Games of the Century" and arguably, the biggest game since
Nebraska/Oklahoma on Thanksgiving Day, 1971. If it can live up
to that one, a 35-31 Nebraska win, no one will go home
unsatisfied. Both teams went 12-0 this year and both average 50
PPG,
making it the first time any bowl game has ever featured
two teams averaging that many points.
Leinart and Bush both own Heismans and it's also the first time
in college football history that Heisman-winning teammates have
lined up together in the same game. Texas' Vince Young finished
second to Reggie Bush, marking the FOURTH time in six years that
a bowl game has featured both the Heisman winner and its
runner-up. The list includes the 2001 Orange Bowl
(Weinke-Heupel), the 2003 Orange Bowl (Palmer-Banks), the 2005
Orange Bowl (Leinart-Peterson) and now the 2006 Rose Bowl.
USC was just 6-6 ATS this year while Texas was 10-2, but the
Trojans are a seven-point favorite and the total, which opened
as high as 75, was down to 69 1/2, as of this morning.
The rest of Wednesday's sports schedule includes a nine-game NBA
card and a five-game NHL slate. In college hoops, 30 games are
on the menu, including 11-0 Pittsburgh (one of just SIX
remaining unbeaten Division I-A schools), hosting 9-2 Notre
Dame.
U Conn fell from the ranks of the unbeaten last night, losing
94-79 at Marquette, as a 10-point road favorite. Illinois
(14-0), Duke and Florida (both 13-0), Ohio St (10-0) and
Villanova (9-0), join Pittsburgh as college basketball's
unbeatens. Pitt is favored tonight by 7 1/2 points. NFL coverage
begins tomorrow.
