Before we embark on yet another exciting college football weekend, I'd like to look back at a particular event that occurred in the pigskin world last weekend.
No, I am not talking about Florida clinching the SEC East, and I am not discussing the woes of the fading Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
I'm not even going to bring up the overtime thriller between Alabama and LSU, which was a fantastic game, by the way.
Rather, what I am about to share took place in just another everyday midseason game.
While surfing between college football games Saturday, I decided to stop on ESPNU to catch a few minutes of the Syracuse-Rutgers game (yes, really).
I wasn't expecting much from this Big East matchup, but that would change dramatically as the game ensued.
Although Rutgers had a disappointing 3-5 record, they were a much better football team than the woeful Syracuse Orange.
Syracuse had posted a 2-6 record to date, and it looks as if Orange head coach Greg Robinson is on his way out the door soon.
Yet despite the struggles of Syracuse this season, they had taken an early 14-0 lead over Rutgers on the road.
However, Robinson's team blew their early lead over the Scarlet Knights, but they were still in a good position to possibly win the game.

Crazy... good points though. Most would never have given that game a even a passing glance.

Thanks, Kris. I really enjoyed the part of this game that I watched and I hope others got to see it too.
