College Football Review- Sept. 28

This weekend in college football showed us that Houston is for real, the teams in the top 10 maybe did not belong there and that Tim Tebow is human.

UPSET OF THE WEEK
South Florida 17, (18) Florida State 7
Tallahassee native B.J. Daniels delivered for the Bulls in first collegiate start by going into Doak-Campbell Stadium and coming out with a big win for South Florida. Daniels threw for 215 yards and ran for 126 yards with 2 total touchdowns. While they probably still celebrating the win in Tampa, Bobby Bowden's team need to resurrect their season now at 2-2, and especially their home form after losing to Miami and barely beating Jacksonville State.
BLOWOUT OF THE WEEK
(2) Texas 64, UTEP 7
Colt McCoy exploded for 286 yards and 3 TD as the Longhorns pummeled the Miners in game in which UTEP was held to only 53 total yards while Mack Brown's team gained 639. Texas proved this week that they are worthy of their ranking.
MVP OF THE WEEK
Case Keenum, QB, Houston
Keenum was impressive throughout the whole game against Texas Tech, but the game-winning drive that he led was nothing short of phenomenal. Keenum lead the Cougars down the field in 5 minutes on 16 play, 95 yard drive which culminated in Keenum running the ball in from 4 yards out. Keenum not only showed the nation that the Cougars are a team that might crack the BCS this year, but he also showed that he can challenge the game's best for the Heisman.
HEISMAN TOP 5
1. Case Keenum, QB, Houston
Keenum's performance mentioned above gives him the lead in the competition so far.
2. Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
Entering Big 12 play, McCoy and the Longhorns haven't faced a challenge yet.
3. Tim Tebow, QB, Florida
Tebow's injury in the third quarter against Kentucky came after an impressive first quarter. Luckily, Tebow and the Gators get next week off.
4. Tony Pike, QB, Cincinnati
Pike continued his stellar season leading the Bearcats to an impressive win over Fresno State, one week after going to Corvallis and beating Oregon State.
5. Jahvid Best, RB, Cal
Best was shut down by Oregon this week, but don't expect that to stop him, based on his games prior to the one against the Ducks, Best could keep his name in the race all season long.
