NCAA Football: Upset City, Population 2

This is what it's all about people; this is what attracts the certifiably unstable individual to college football.

East Carolina University 27, #17 Virginia Tech 22

The ECU Pirates become the first team in the history of their non-BCS conference ( conference USA) to win two back to back games versus BCS opponents. The Pirates were led by Skip Holtz, son of the senile slobbering ESPN College Football studio analyst ( and former coach of ND and The Ohio St. University, and therefore empty inside.) Lou Holtz. This game was Va. Tech's to lose, and boy did they ever with a horrific pass defense ( giving up 349 pass yards). The 08 ACC Champs are very green this season, suiting up 70 players today; 3o of whom had never seen the field before. Tech's 1 experienced player, QB Sean Glennon, was also horrendously mediocre.

Utah 25, Michighan 23

The Michigan Wolverines have known opening day embarrassment; having lost to non-BCS conference team Appalachian state last season in a forever memorable blocked field goal. So they go out and steal a young fiery Rich Rodriguez from his lovely home in West Virginia, finally get rid of incredibly average gimpy quarterback Chad Henne ( No that YOU, Miami Dolphins!!) and what happens? they lose another opening day at HOME to another non-BCS team in front of 100,000 fans. Like Va. Tech, Michigan had some HORRIFIC pass defense, allowing Utah to complete for 305 yards.

Oh and by the way, that team that Rich Rod left for the bright lights of Ann Arbor, yeah they're pretty damn good. West Virginia showed running superiority and Heisman hopeful quarterback Pat White put on a clinic against the Villanova Wildcats in their opener.
