WINNERS
1. TIM CURRY The Air Force defensive back scored a touchdown
against a rival service academy for the second time this season,
returning a fumble 35 yards in a 24-0 win over Army.
2. JOE GERMAINE After completing 17 of 21 passes for 211 yards
and three touchdowns against Minnesota, the Ohio State junior is
second in the nation in passing efficiency. Just think how
productive he might be if he were the Buckeyes' starter.
3. BOBBY SHAW The Cal senior became the Golden Bears' reception
leader for a season (67) and a career (172) in a 28-21 loss to
Arizona State.
LOSERS
1. SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA On consecutive weeks the Ragin' Cajuns
were savaged by Tulane's Shaun King (ninth in total offense,
293.8 yards per game) and Washington State's Ryan Leaf (third,
331.9). This Saturday it's Louisiana Tech's Tim Rattay (first,
359.9).
2. AMHERST As they did in '96, the Division III Lord Jeffs
entered their showdown with archrival Williams 7-0 and exited
7-1. The Ephs won 48-46 on a 27-yard field goal with two seconds
left.
3. THE INSIGHT.COM BOWL PMFJI, but IMHO, if ever a bowl merited
flaming for its choice of a title sponsor, this is it. :-(
