After a well-deserved week off, the College Football Report Card is back to point out the week’s best plays and the questionable decisions that get the most hardened fan bases up in arms. <\/p>\n
This week, we have a team that is a repeat offender in this space along with the usual absurdity that comes with every college football Saturday.<\/p>\n
Remember, the same thing goes for grading as last season. High marks will be only for the spectacular, and failing grades have no chance of being reversed.<\/p>\n
Without further ado, here is the Week 8 analysis of how fans, teams, players, and coaches fared: <\/p>\n
Week 8 winners and losers:<\/strong>Oregon thrives in defeat of UCLA, Miami flops again<\/p>\n Follow every game:<\/strong> Live NCAA College Football Scores<\/p>\n Saturday recap:<\/strong>What you need to know about college football’s Top 25 games for Week 8<\/p>\n\n So, let the Report Card hopefully be the final word on this subject once and for all. When I was assessing the most overpaid coaches, there was a glaring omission, because choosing only five coaches was the mandate. But there is no doubt Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz would have been on an extended list for the nepotism that’s going on in Iowa City.<\/p>\n\n There are many people to blame here, including athletic director Gary Barta and anyone else, fans included, who supports what’s going on.<\/p>\n It came full circle on Saturday. The Hawkeyes once again wasted a defense that played its tail off for the most part against Ohio State, getting no help from the offensive coordinator (that would be Ferentz’s son, Brian), who is robbing Iowa with his $900,000 a year salary. Iowa had six turnovers, gained a grand total of 158 yards and went 1-for-13 on third down in a 54-10 blowout. The Buckeyes only had 360 yards themselves, nearly 200 yards below their season average.<\/p>\n Offensive, indeed.<\/p>\nCold freeze in Iowa City<\/h2>\n
