Five Things We Learned In College, Championship Week

Not enough games this past weekend to come up with ten things- not on the amount of cold medicine I’m taking, anyway. So here goes:

1. So did LSU dress their third-team for the first half or what? No first downs in the first half, one TD that came on a punt return, and a 10-7 deficit. In the second half, the defense got a shutout and they scored five TDs. The Tiger faithful better hope they don’t come out that flat against Alabama in the title game, not that I would expect them to.

2. Guess my read on Clemson’s mental state was a bit off. That’s why I’m picking games on my sofa with a laptop and not on an ESPN set with a teleprompter.

3. Lot of respect for Oklahoma State. That’s a very good team, and OSU-LSU would have been an entertaining BCS game as well.

4. Props also to Southern Miss for taking down undefeated Houston 49-28. They played extremely well in all phases of the game.

5. Don’t get me wrong, I love bowl season, but I’d love a playoff system of some kind even more.

About Lindsay Higgins

Lindsay got hooked on football after attending an Indianapolis Colts pre-season game in 2005. (See, pre-season isn't completely useless). The daughter of two Minnesota alums, she spends September through March following the Gophers' football and hockey teams as closely as possible from Connecticut, along with the New York Giants and Montreal Canadiens. She's also a winger on a local women's hockey team, and has a foster elephant in Kenya named Esampu.
