Hover passed for 242 yards and no interceptions on 18 of 25 passing. Most impressively, he didn’t get rattled as the Giants broke from the gate quickly to post a 21-0 first quarter lead.

Washington Shocks #3 USC With Late Field Goal

USC has won their big game against Ohio State twice in back to back years. Its the next game they have problems with. This year, it was the Washington Huskies who pulled the upset.

Alabama Survives Scare From Tennessee

Alabama didn’t so much win their game against Tennessee on Saturday as much as they escaped.

Lions End 19 Game Losing Streak With Win Over Redskins

The Detroit Lions nineteen game losing streak is over. On Sunday afternoon at Ford Field in Detroit the Lions held on for a 19-14 win over the Washington Redskins. The Lions hadn’t won a game since December 23, 2007 and had already tied the second longest losing streak in NFL history. Their run of futility included a 0-16 mark in 2008, the first winless season since the NFL expanded its schedule to sixteen games. It may not have been pretty, but the streak is now over and the Lions wont have to worry about comparisons to the 1976-77 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who lost a record 26 games in their first two seasons as an NFL expansion team.
