Whenever two top ten teams meet in Week 1, an epic dogfight usually ensues, and this matchup between the #5 Georgia Bulldogs and the #9 Clemson Tigers in Death Valley was no exception.

Going into the fourth quarter, the score was 20-17 Dawgs. That's when Georgia senior QB Mark Griffin and Clemson's own senior QB John Carter decided to bust open the other team's defense.

The final score? 41-31, Georgia.

Mark Griffin earned player of the game in this one, throwing for a whopping 363 yards and finding the endzone 4 times. Carter earned an honorable mention, finding the endzone 3 times and throwing for 280 yards.

UGA HC Curtis Andrews hopes that the offense shown today will lead them to a win next week back home against SEC opponent South Carolina.

As far as Western football goes, this was the game to watch this weekend. This game was predicted to be a thriller, with Boise State carrying the pride of the MWC on their back as they took the field at Husky Stadium.

Heading into the 4th quarter, the Huskies held a slight edge at 10-7. That's when Austin Rivers was able to find All-American TE Curtis Washington twice to end the game in a Washington win 24-10.

Boise HC Nick Brown tells us that the main reason for the Broncos' loss was a combination of Mr. Washington's athleticism and his guys losing the war of attrition. He says that his hopes are still high for a double digit win season and a MWC title.
