The Jock Lock: College Football - Week 2 Review

Another fantastic week of  college football. There were upsets, blowouts, nail biters, and pretty much everything in between. I'm going to go through a rundown of, what I felt, were the most interesting games played on Saturday. Get ready for puns galore. First up:

A flock of Ducks test the spirit of these Knights - The Oregon Ducks are on a mission to show the Pac-12 that they're more than just beautiful dressers: they're there to ruffle the feathers of the entire conference. From the kickoff, they were a dominating force and their game plan was simple: ground and pound the Cavaliers' defense. They had three rushers with more than 100 yards rushing and a quack-tastic total of 7 rushing touchdowns. The defense was having their way with the Cavalier offense just the same, forcing 2 fumbles, recovering both of them. I'd talk more about Virginia, but they didn't really give me much to talk about, plus I'm out of puns for them. One more for Oregon? OK; I guess birds of a feather really do flock together. Quack, quack, quack! Oregon wins, 59-10.

The Gamecock's get dragged into a Dawg fight - Boy, this one really came down to the wire, didn't it? In the first half, it looked as if Georgia was going to run away with this one. But South Carolina came clucking back towards the end of the second quarter. By the time the clock started for the fourth quarter, we had ourselves a game. With less than nine minutes to go in the fourth, the Dawgs had a massive goal-line stand, with the Gamecocks losing yardage on 4th and goal. Todd Gurley and Jadeveon Clowney didn't disappoint. But it was Gurley who set the tempo for the game. Aaron Murray wasn't too bad, either, with 309 yards in the air and 4 touchdowns. In the end, the Bulldogs were able to fend off the Gamecocks' talons and lock 'em back in the coop, or wherever Gamecocks sleep. Georgia wins, 41-30.

The Irish try their luck against the Wolverines - My most anticipated game of the day. When I saw a Quarterback wearing No. 98 and a Defensive Lineman wearing No. 1, I knew this game was going to be interesting. Michigan's Devin Gardner had a good game, but it's clear he still has a lot of growing to do as a QB. He made the switch from Wide Receiver, last year, almost seamlessly. Tommy Rees, of Notre Dame, had a good game, as well. In fact, both QB's would've had stellar games had they each not thrown picks that directly led to a score for the other team. The last rematch we'll have between these two will happen next year and will be the final game played between these two for the foreseeable future. As for this game, the Wolverines ended up taking another pot of gold from the Fighting Irish, as well as the "W." Next year, they'll be playing for the whole shebang of Lucky Charms. Michigan wins, 41-30.

It's the Johnny Manziel show, again - There wont be any puns here; just good, old fashioned sports talk. Manziel put on a clinic against the Sam Houston State Bearkats. He threw for 403 yards and three touchdowns in three quarters. However, it's not as if the Bearkats weren't an offensive force of their own. Timothy Flanders rushed for 170 yards on 19 carries and 2 touchdowns of his own. It was a hard, fought battle, but the Texas A&M Aggies were just too much for Sam Houston's junior varsity defense, no offense. Johnny "Football" did handle himself better than last week when a Bearkat defender knocked the ball out of his hand after a 6-yard touchdown run in the last minutes of the third quarter. Maybe he just wanted an autograph but was too shy to ask. Texas A&M wins, 65-28.
