Heisman Trophy Winner
Summa Cum Lousy
1. Louisville – While there was no shame in losing to Kentucky a week ago, getting dumped at home by a really bad Syracuse team is an indictment of new head coach Steve Kragthorpe and defensive coordinator Mike Cassity, whose unit has digressed into a national laughingstock.
2. Penn State – Or more specifically, the Penn State offense, which managed just 270 yards and failed to reach the end zone against the same Michigan defense that couldn’t stop Appalachian State or Oregon earlier this month. Playing a team with a pulse for the first time this season, the Lions have now lost nine straight games to the Wolverines.
3. Pittsburgh – Yeah, yeah, the Panthers have been stung by injuries, but that’s no excuse for losing at home by 20 to Connecticut. Pitt turned the ball over six times, and appears ready for its annual mid-season swoon. Now 2-2, it still has games with Virginia, Cincinnati, Louisville, Rutgers, South Florida and West Virginia on the schedule. Can you say, “home for the holidays?”
4. The Nebraska D – For the second straight week, the Blackshirts performed like they were wearing black skirts, allowing an unthinkable 610 yards to QB Nate Davis and Ball State. The Huskers are now dead last in the Big 12 in sacks and run defense, signs the rebuilt D-line just isn’t catching on this fall.
5. Texas A&M – With an opportunity to make a statement in front of a national TV audience, the Aggies flopped like an American Idol hack Thursday night, breathing life into the Miami program. A&M went down 34-0 in the Orange Bowl before scoring some window-dressing points in the fourth quarter
