GAME SUMMARY:
Ohio St. was looking to start another winning streak following their week 6 win over West Virginia.  After suffering defeat for the first time last week and subsequently losing their #1 ranking, the Boston College Eagles came out focused and intense in this match up vs #4 Ohio St.  The Boston College coaches had heard rumors that the Buckeyes had a secret weapon they were planning to unveil in this one; hmmm what would this be all about.... The game turned out to be all BC and the Eagles took the game rather easily 33-17.  Check out the stats.  BC lead in all offensive categories including Rushing Yards, Passing Yards, First Downs and Time Of Possession.  Oh, that secret Buckeye weapon.  It turned out to be a new starting punter!  Well, he did have a nice game -- punting 7 times with a 43.3 avg and a long of 55!

BOXSCORE
GAME SUMMARY:
The Aggies led this one from start to finish relying on some nifty running (Courtney Lewis 20-133-32t-2) and the accurate arm of Reggie McNeal (68.2 %, 140yds 0-0). Wisconsin dared to defy the #1 rush defense of the Aggies—and did better than any team so far racking up 126 yds on 35 attempts. Anthony Davis broke the century mark for the Badgers rambling for a tough 116 yds on 30 carries. Neither team dominated the other but Texas A&M made more plays when they counted than the boys from Wisconsin.

BOXSCORE
GAME SUMMARY:
This wasn't Florida's best offensive showing of the season, but they came up with big plays (offensively and defensively) to beat Georgia Tech 23-16.  The turnovers decided this game.  Florida intercepted 2 passes (the last one with less than 1:00 to play), recovered a fumble and blocked a punt. The Gators were up 13-0 (the TD was set up by the blocked punt).  When "The Ramblin' Wreck" score 13 unanswered points of their own (including a 52-yd FG just before halftime).  Florida's first two drives of the second half resulted in scores.  The drives combined for over 9:00.  The frist was halted at the GT 6 and a FG, and the second was a 6-yd run by Fason.  Georgia Tech had the ball at their own 10 with 9:00 left in the game and went on a 13 play 86 yard drive that ended at the Gator 4 yard line and a 21 yard FG.  That would be the last score of the game. The two Heisman hopefuls had decent games.  Ciatrick Fason had 28 rushes for 109 yards and 1 TD, and had 5 catches for 21 yards.  Chris Leak was 15-34 for 232 yards 1 TD and 1 int (rating of 105.3).  GT's best effort came from Nate Curry who had 10 catches for 122 yards. We are still looking to move up in the polls.

BOXSCORE
GAME SUMMARY:
West Virginia defeated Oklahoma State 35-27. West Virginia switched their offense to a running attack and only threw the ball when necessary. The result was 237 rushing yards on 47 carries. Kay-Jay Harris pounded out 146 yards and 2 TDs, while Jason Colson picked up another 45 on 11 carries and Bryan Wright dashed off 15 on 4 carries and had a TD. Oklahoma State got off to a fast start going up 14-3 after the Mountaineers put up the first score. Seymour Shaw scampered 41 yards for the State TD and D'Juan Woods caught a short TD pass from Donovan Woods for the second score. The West Virginia offense and defense kicked in the 2nd quarter as the Mountaineers stormed back to take a 15-14 lead at the half. In the second half, State switched from the run to the pass as the Mountaineers were calling run on almost every play and had shutdown State's offense in the 2nd quarter. This led to quick Cowboy TD and State had a 21-15 lead. West Virginia countered with another drive and score and it was back to 22-21. State put together another drive ending in a 20-yard Morency run at the start of the 4th quarter. After a failed 2-pt conversion State held a 27-22 lead. The Mountaineers countered with their own drive and also a failed 2-pt conversion leading to a 28-27 Mountaineer lead. Woods then got picked off on a look-in pass against a double covered zone, and the Mountaineers had the ball deep in State territory. A couple of plays later, Harris plunged in for his 2nd TD of the game and West Virginia went up by 8, 35-27. State put together a strong, time-consuming drive that ended in the red-zone on a snap fumble and that all but ended the game. As a side note, West Virginia unveiled their new FG kicker Andy Good (I'm not making this up!). After frustration last week against Ohio State as Cooper blew 2 field goals, one on the last play of the game that would have been a game winner, WV inspected their roster a little more closely...and discovered that there are actually two kickers on the team, one, Cooper, is the extra point kicker and the other, Good, is the long distance kicker. Good hit 3 for 3 from 19, 45 and 51 and accounted for the difference in the score!
