Ah, the perils of cupcake week. The final scores don’t show it, but there was a good deal of early struggle among the favorites.
- Alabama was tied at 10 at the half.
- Clemson and their quarterback Sunshine had trouble early on against Duke punting on six of their first seven possessions before righting the ship.
- Oklahoma had a struggle against Kansas that extended well into the fourth quarter.
- Michigan was down 17-15 to Indiana at halftime and led by 8 with 3 minutes to go.
- Ohio State trailed 17-3 and 31-17 against troubled Maryland and shoulda lost if the Terps coach’s eyes weren’t bigger than his stomach.
