"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog." Archie Griffin. Last night's game between Louisville and UCF showed that it doesn't always matter if you have a little number next to your name claiming a spot on the Top 25. Coach Lombardi said that "People who work together will win." Even if it goes against the grain of society's expectations. That's the beauty of an upset. Anyone can win.
There are a number of potential upsets this week to keep your eyes on. Ole Miss for one, barely lost to Texas A & M last week. This week they come up against LSU to try again. Without prized defensive end Robert Nkemdiche (out for hamstring), Serderius Bryant (leading tackler), Issac Gross (defensive tackle), Mike Hilton (cornerback), Chief Brown (safety), and backup QB Barry Brunetti, it'll be heart that makes an upset possible. Teams either pull together or fall apart in times like this. Should they pull it together, they'll have a good win on their hands.
