It is difficult argue which was the best college football game on Saturday. The two most exciting that I either saw or watched the games highlights were the Tennessee versus Alabama and the Iowa versus Michigan State.
Iowa Hawkeyes needed the last play of game to stay undefeated. A touchdown pass from Quarterback Ricky Stanzi to Wide Receiver Marvin McNutt moved Iowa to 8-0 for first time in school history. It is a weekly occurrence that Iowa finds a way to win. Hawkeyes are showing grit but I know their fans do not like being at the edge of their seat for every victory. They will definitely take the 15-13 victory over Michigan State.
Tennessee's defense has kept them in the game in many notable ranked
opponents such as Florida and the game against Bama was not any different. A game that done most everything right to win the game but winning the game itself. Two plays by one giant of man sealed the fate of the Volunteers. It was two block field goals coming from the largest player on the Crimson Tide's squad Terrance "Mount" Cody. He blocked a kick earlier in the game, but it was Cody's blocked field goal on the last play of game that preserved the victory for the Crimson Tide 12-10.
Alabama will remain in the hunt for BCS Championship, but the scoring output of the offense must get better. Their strong defensive play will always give Bama a chance to win. Iowa is in uncharted territory with their record and in the talk for a possible BCS Bowl bid. Their offense must play a lot better and overall must keep winning to keep their team among the BCS talk. Both Alabama and Iowa played great games to remain unbeaten and in the hunt for a BCS title.
