Saturday night college football musings

SPORTING GOODS

I'm convinced that Ian Johnson and Pat White have played for their respective schools for at least six years. Next year, I'll be saying the same thing about Wake Forest's Riley Skinner.

Notre Dame is much better than last year, but the Irish still need a quarterback. They have some tremendous wideouts on the team, but, cripes, Tyler Lorenzen is better than Jimmy Clausen.

Penn State wins easily despite Joe Pa's disappearance. God, if ever a head coach was superfluous to his team's success, this must surely be the case.

And poor Dartmouth, which should know better than to play outside the Ivy League, lost its tenth season opener in its last eleven attempts.
