Golden Eagles VS Thundering Herd in College Football
Sunday, October 21st, 2007
It’ll be a Sunday night in college football when the Southern Miss Golden Eagles visit the Marshall Thundering Herd.
Yes, it’s college football’s version of Sunday Night Football as the 2007 NCAA college football season continues at Edwards Stadium in Huntington, West Virginia.
The Marshall Thundering Herd are yet to win a single game on that college football field. Their latest loss, and there have been many this season, were to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Tulsa QB Paul Smith smothered the Thundering Herd defense for 385 yards, not to mention two touchdowns and another when he ran with it.
The result? Another disappointing loss for Marshall, 38-31, extending their losing streak to SIX GAMES.
For what it’s worth, the Thundering Herd, despite all the disappointments they’ve been having so far, are excited that they’ll finally be returning home for the Southern Miss Golden Eagles since New Hampshire hammered them last September 15.
They’re hoping that being at home will help them to finally get a win.
”We’re excited. We are playing a very good football team in Southern Miss. We’re going head-to-head with the NFL, but it’s on…”
LSU Tigers to vent their frustrations on Auburn Saturday
Saturday, October 20th, 2007
Revenge was the theme when the Wildcats met the Tigers again last week.
And the Kentucky Wildcats were able to have exactly that as they finally had their revenge on the LSU Tigers after LSU simply blasted them with a 49-0 humiliating loss last year. This 2007 NCAA college football season, it was Kentucky’s time and while it took THREE OVERTIME PERIODS, revenge was still sweet.
The Kentucky Wildcats managed to shock then No.1 ranked LSU Tigers and win 43-37 in a triple overtime game that probably dealt LSU with something even more important than a loss to their rivals from Kentucky.
The BCS title chase.
With the LSU Tigers losing for the first time this 2007 NCAA college football season, they find themselves making a rather drastic drop in the BCS rankings, paving the way for newcomers South Florida and Boston College, to lord over the intricate and confusing college football hierarchy system.
Kentucky Wildcats head coach Rich Brooks sure was happy about the win. Especially after he almost lost his job last season when LSU pounded his boys to that fateful 49-0 annihilation.
”For those people who didn’t think we were a real contender,” Rich Brooks said, ”maybe they…”
