The Week That Was | College Football Week 11 & NFL Week 10 Recap & Preview | NBA & College Basketball Season | Classic Throwback Game of The Week- 49ers vs Cowboys: November 13th 1994

The Week That Was in College Football was an upset filled one with #4 Miami and #3 Georgia losing respectively to unranked Georgia Tech and #16 Ole Miss. First Things First, the Miami Hurricanes have been playing with fire in terms of playing down to the competition especially against California where they trailed by 25 and still won the game by score of 39-38. There is a plethora of examples of Miami trailing by double digits and coming back to win but against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets it wasn't the case losing by score of 28-23.

Miami could not stop the rushing attack of Georgia Tech who ran for a grand total of 271 rushing yards meanwhile Miami’s rushing offense only could muster 88 yards. Defensively the Yellow Jackets sacked Quarterback Cam Ward of Miami 3 times despite Ward throwing for 348 yards and 3 touchdown passes. The defense of Miami was the main culprit because whenever Georgia Tech offense passed the ball Miami could forced a punt despite having a 3rd down and 18 scenario where Quarterback Aaron Philo completed a 27 yard pass play to Wide Receiver Bailey Stockton which resulted in a touchdown drive:28-16. Overall Miami is not a vintage Miami of yesteryear because they don't a championship caliber defense just an explosive offense led by Quarterback Cam Ward until they can become championship caliber Miami has to fix the defense.

Meanwhile, #3 Georgia lost by a landslide losing by score of 28-10. The Ole Miss defense was the catalyst by having 5 sacks, 9 tackles for loss and 4 forced fumbles. Quarterback Carson Beck of Georgia continues to struggle with his play by throwing an interception. So Georgia's playoff hopes could be at stake when they play against the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday at home.

The college basketball season is here as the Connecticut Huskies are vying for an unprecedented 3 consecutive national championships which hasn't been accomplished since The John Wooden Era at UCLA(1967-1973).

The Cleveland Cavaliers lead the NBA in scoring averaging 121.8 points a game and field goal percentage shooting 51.8 percent from the field. But come playoff time the Cleveland Cavaliers will have to show their mettle against the defending champion Boston Celtics only time will tell.
