Week one of Show Me Month is in the books-- and while a season, conference or contract extension can't be won in September, each can definitely be lost.
Alma Mater Update-- Syracuse kicked off the 2010 campaign with a 29-3 thumping of Akron. Ryan Nassib threw for 229 yards and two touchdowns while Delonte Campbell rumbled for 91 yards and a score... while the defense clamped down on the Zips from the opening kickoff to the final gun. The stakes raise this weekend in Seattle...can the road to redemption continue Saturday at Washington?
Virginia opened the Mike London era by routing Richmond 34-13... as the chardonnay and brie were front and center in Charlottesville. Cavalier Congrats-- Keith Payne ran for 114 yards and four touchdowns... Kris Burd caught 7 passes for 122 yards... and the defense stopped the Spiders 10 of 15 times on third down and allowed just 3 points after halftime. Cavalier catastrophes-- UVa's defense broke down in the first half-- allowing a 70 yard scamper to Kendall Gaskins. The kicking game wasn't ideal... managing just 69 return yards while allowing 170 punt and kickoff return yards to the Spiders. You can't give away a football field per game once you get into the ACC.
Maryland had their hands full with Navy in Baltimore... limiting the Midshipmen option in a 17-14 victory. Terrapin Triumphs-- the defense limited Navy to 14 points in 7 trips to the redzone... Davin Meggett rumbled for 105 yards and a touchdown while Jamarr Robinson added 92 on the ground... Alex Wucjiak tallied 18 tackles. Terrapin Troubles-- whither the passing game? Robinson completed just 2 of 5 passes for 11 yards and was intercepted.
#10 Virginia Tech had Fed Ex Field to themselves on Labor Day night-- falling to Boise State 33-30. Hokie Highlights-- Jarrett Boykin caught 6 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown to keep Bronco DB's honest...while the defense recovered a pair of fumbles. Hokie Humblings-- the vaunted tailback tandem of Ryan Williams and Darren Evans combined for 56 yards on 24 carries... while the defense allowed the Broncos to jump out to an early 17 point lead.
