Cranky old Sunday morning QB

College football is deteriorating in quality of play. Yesterday I didn't see a team that impressed me. Mistakes, bad play, even wrong calls, were everywhere.
  • A defense stops a 3rd down play, forcing a punt in a critical situation. Then some defensive lughead butts an opponent, drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct call after the play is dead. First down! The drive continues.
  • A well-protected quarterback has a man in the clear, the end zone ahead. He overthrows him. Later he does the same thing. This is supposed to be a star player.
  • A runner is out of bounds. A defensive player creams him unnecessarily. Unnecessary roughness penalty. Again, the drive continues.
  • One penalty after another, on instant replay, is questionable.
  • On and on and on. Ineptitude is ruining the game.

I may need to find another form of Saturday escape and entertainment. I gave up on pro football years ago. Might be college's turn.
