Weekend recap

Clemson did not play, but I found myself watching the Kentucky game at South Carolina this weekend. I will make a few comments about it, but I will keep them brief, because this doesn't exactly fit the ACC theme, but still, here we go:

1. Kentucky's offense is better than Clemson's, and they are far less talented. Randall Cobb is a heck of a player and will be exciting to watch. He was used well for a drive, and then abandoned on the 2 point conversion.
2. Kentucky's defensive backfield is not very good. If I am South Carolina's offensive coordinator, I call a seven step drop every three downs.
3. The refs did not blow the play dead on the delay of game where Hartline got hurt, and that is inexcusable. This is one instance where it is fair to say that the refs screwed up and impacted the outcome of the game; Hartline isn't exactly All-SEC material, but he was substantially better than Fidler.
4. There was a bit of a scuffle between two players towards the end of the game where one guy pushed the other and the second one pushed back at the end of a play, and there was no call made. I think a lot of times, that is probably preferable to penalizing the last guy to do something. Sure, the behavior needs to be discouraged and double penalties is sometimes the norm, but nobody really gets punished in that case, either.

A few other thoughts were that Georgia might not be that good, FSU is in for a rough season, Alabama is probably going to win the SEC, and whoever wins the Atlantic is going to lose to Virginia Tech in Tampa.
