This past Saturday was college football at its best. We witnessed superlative individual efforts, surprising upsets and nail-biting finishes. Let's start with the games to remember. We definitely had one for the ages at South Bend where Notre Dame came close to severely damaging the national championship hopes of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Observers often forget that special teams is one-third of the equation.
At South Carolina, Lou Holtz is proving once again that he is one of the great college head coaches of all time. You take the one-third I referred to out of the equation. I say no. Play the game the exact same way in an overtime period as you did during the four quarters of action. In addition, by placing the ball on the 25-yard line, the defensive structure normally in place has to go by the boards.
