SPORTS WEEKEND REVIEW ( 10th Edition )



TO MUCH SPILLER FOR THE NOLES!

THE COLLEGE GAME OF THE WEEK had the Clemson Tigers coming from behind to defeat the Florida State Seminoles 40 to 24. Clemson star RB C.J. Spiller had a record-setting night as he had a career high 165 yards rushing and two TD's and he broke his own all-purpose yardage record, that he set two weeks ago against Miami, as he had 312 all-purpose yards against the Noles. The Tigers Freshman QB Kyle Parker had a big night, after throwing an INT for a TD in the 1st quarter, to pass for 18 of 30 for 242 yards and four TD's. The Tigers trailed 24 to 21 entering the 4th quarter but flexed their mussels out scoring the Noles 19 to 0 to get the win and keep destiny in their own hands to win the ACC Atlantic Division Title. The Tigers now get ready to travel to Raleigh to face North Carolina State.

DID YOU KNOW? Clemson's C.J. Spiller and Jacoby Ford broke the NCAA record for all-purpose yards by teammates as they passed the 10,253 yards of San Diego States 's Marshall Faulk and Darnay Scott from 1991-1993.

THE HIGH SCHOOL GAME OF THE WEEK had the Northwestern Trojans defeating the Gaffney Indians 30 to 23 at The Reservation on Friday night. It took a state record receiving performance from Northwestern's Robert Joeseph, as he had 22 receptions, for the Trojans to win the Region 3 4A Title. Trojans QB Justin Worley had a big night throwing the football as he went 36 of 45 for 378 yards which was one completion away from a state record of his own. The Indians tried to rally in the 4th quarter behind QB DeEdward Burris but fell a little short as the last Indians drive was stopped by an interception by the Trojans Denetri Hemphill. The Indians will go into the Division 1 4A playoffs as the NO. 7 seed and will host Stratford on Friday night. The Trojans will go into the Division 2 4A playoffs as the NO. 2 seed and will hast South Florence.

THE NFL GAME OF THE WEEK had the Carolina Panthers playing pretty well, but they fell to the New Orleans Saints 30 to 20. The Panthers DeAngelo Williams had 149 yards rushing and two TD's. Saints QB Drew Brees overcame two early turnovers to pass for 330 yards and a TD to lead the New Orleans comeback. The Panthers lost three fumbles in the game after not turning the ball over last week in their victory over Arizona. The Saints remain undefeated at 8 and 0 while the Panthers fall to 3 and 5.

DID YOU KNOW? The New Orleans Saints are off to their best start in the 43 year history of their franchise at 8 and 0.

THE ARMCHAIR COACH went 17 and 3 in game predictions this past weekend. Record for the season is 148 and 48 for a percentage of .755.
