Second Look: Snapshots from the latest in college football
MONDAY MORNING QB
The problem at Auburn: two quarterbacks, one football. Tommy Tuberville and Tony Franklin are convinced that Chris Todd and Kodi Burns can share reps without hurting Auburn’s chemistry. It’s a gamble when rhythm and confidence are key. Mike Shula wrote the book on it, but Jim Tressel never bothered reading: Never, ever play your best player in the second half of an easy win against an overmatched foe. Ohio State needs Beanie Wells with a trip to USC on the horizon.
THE WEEK THAT WILL BE
Cincinnati and Oklahoma combined for 97 points Saturday. Now they take the offensive boom to Norman. The biggest difference? The Sooners also play some stout defense.
There’s new hope at Ole Miss, which may be the SEC’s surprise team. Time for the Rebels to hit the road and surprise the ACC on a trip to Wake Forest.
