Well, turnabout’s fair play, I s’pose.  Turner Gill’s group lost in OT last year at home to Coastal Carolina, so it’s only fitting that they return the favor.
Gotta admit, Turner – I didn’t think you had it in you

I was pissed last week when LaDanian Tomlinson’s rushing record was broken.
That didn’t last long.
Samaje Perine obliterated Melvin Gordon’s 408-yard record by dashing for 427 yards & five touchdown in destroying Rock Chalk.

Andy threw his requisite pick-six (groan), but was decent enough otherwise – 24 of 35 for 372 and a score.

Well, there was a beatdown, all right.  I just expected it to be the other way around, that’s all.
Looks like the Egg Bowl has lost just a touch of its luster.

It is said that Bo Pelini always finds a way to manage to lose four games.  And that his seat is increasingly warm because of this.
Well, he’s on his way:
Jerry Kill’s building project at Minnesota has taken another huge step.
Down by double digits in the third quarter, and with star running back David Cobb on the sideline injured, the Gophers (No. 25 CFP) stunned Nebraska (No. 23 CFP, No. 21 AP) 28-24 on Saturday to keep alive their hopes in the Big Ten West.
“I’m not going to tell you that winning in Lincoln, Nebraska, doesn’t rank up there,” Kill said. “That’s not an easy thing to do.”
The Gophers trailed by 14 points at half and by 10 in the middle of the third quarter before Mitch Leidner led two long scoring drives that gave them the lead. Leidner’s 2-yard run put the Gophers ahead, and Briean Boddy-Calhoun made the defensive play of the game when he ripped the ball out of De’Mornay Pierson-El’s hands at the Minnesota 2-yard line with 1:19 left.

Minnesota (8-3, 5-2), assured of its best Big Ten record since 2003, can win the West and go to the conference championship game on Dec. 6 with a victory at Wisconsin next week. The Cornhuskers (8-3, 4-3), humiliated at Wisconsin a week ago, lost back-to-back conference games for the first time since 2009 and were eliminated from the West race.
On CornNation.com, they’re already calling for changes to be made.  Pelini could be out by season’s end if this continues.

Rider figured out how to stop Heights:  Don’t let them have the ball.
Heights only ran 16 first-half plays.  They ran that many in the first quarter against Western Hills.
That sealed their doom.  Rider raced to a 21-3 lead, then just played keep-up with Heights the rest of the game.
Should be a good Yellow Jacket team next year.  For the first time since the Donnell Dickerson days, I’m highly encouraged.
This week:  2-4.  Overall:  60-18-1.
The PFW returns Thursday for the Thanksgiving day edition.  Belching will be heartily encouraged.

Not in Mississippi it hasn’t!
