LSU Should Be Number One

LSU is closing in on Southern California in the AP Top 25, and Appalachian State is getting some recognition — but not a ranking.

After a surprisingly easy and thoroughly impressive victory over Virginia Tech, No. 2 LSU took 19 first-place votes from No. 1 USC in the poll released Sunday.

The Trojans were idle Saturday while the Tigers routed the Hokies 48-7 in Death Valley. USC received 40 first-place votes from the media panel, down from 59 last week, and 1,619 points.

LSU received 25 first-place votes and 1,582 points.LSU is closing in on Southern California in the AP Top 25, and Appalachian State is getting some recognition — but not a ranking.

NFL Is Back With Big Games on Sunday

Tom Brady was well protected, and looked to be in midseason form. Randy Moss got loose for a 51-yard touchdown, and loudly announced his return as an NFL playmaker. Jets QB Chad Pennington had to come out of the game with an injury.
It all added up to a long day for the Jets, and an impressive opening-day victory for Brady and the Patriots.

Brady completed 22 of 28 passes and Moss had nine catches for 183 yards in an eye-popping Patriots debut as New England rolled to the victory at the Meadowlands.

NOTRE DAME TO START FRESHMAN QUARTER BACK

Latest In College Football:

Notre Dame freshman, Jimmy Clausen, is set to start as quarterback Saturday in a game against Penn State. Notre Dame is looking to make a resurgence after their tremedous 33-3 loss at home to Georgia Tech.

"I think he gives us the best chance of winning," coach Charlie Weis said Tuesday.

Clausen has been recovering from the removal of a bone spur in his throwing elbow and has not to this point been utilized by the Irish. Weis, however, said Clausen was the top quarterback after spring practices.

"I'm not going to play a quarterback who can't do everything, so I didn't," Weis said.

Weis is confident that Clausen manages the offense well, and feels that he has the best arm.

"I think he's ready to run the offense," Weis said. "He was always ready mentally, but his arm wasn't full go until last week."

Demetrius Jones started the game against Georgia Tech but was only able to pass for 4 yards, fumbling the ball away twice.
