The Packers had thoroughly beaten Seattle on offense and defense for 3 1/2 quarters, but their special teams (on the fake field goal, particularly, and the 2-point conversion) let them down, and the rest of the team followed.

More surprising was their poor performance in the bigger games: both Ole Miss and Miss St. disapppointed in their "selection" games, but above all, there was that shocker of historic proportions in which Alabama came up short against Ohio St. Crimson Tide clearly lost their way after going up 21-3 early, but give credit to Ohio St.: their linemen were not intimidated by their size disadvantage, their controversial former 3rd-string QB (Cardale Jones) had a great game, and maximum credit for the coaching of Urban Meyer, who has brought proven SEC methods successfully to the Big 10. Why not? <br />I don't like Ohio St.'s chances vs. the Oregon offensive machine, but they deserve praise.

So far they are 4-1; credit to Notre Dame for beating a somewhat tarnished LSU on a last-second FG (with some LSU whining about a touchdown at the end of the 1st half for which they did not get the call). <br />Let me be clear: 1) this was a weak SEC season, in the sense of the lack of a truly dominating team, but I still feel their teams will beat up the other regions in the bowls; 2) I think their colleges are mediocre at best; but 3) they provide an excellent free development league for the NFL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
