Re: 2013 College Football National Cup (World Cup Format)
GROUP G - Day Seven   Virginia Tech - 31 vs. Arizona - 31 High Point Solution Stadium - Piscataway, NJ  Piscataway, NJ - Tie ball games were eliminated from NCAA Football in 1996. Ties were boring, they upset the order of college football and they didn't make much sense. While the game was one of the most exciting so far in the National Cup, the result between Virginia Tech (0-0-1/1PTs) and Arizona (0-0-1/1PTs) was just the opposite: boring. The Group G matchup in Piscataway, New Jersey ended with a 24-24 tie after the Hokies' Cody Journell kicked a game tying field goal in the final minute. The outcome was a huge disappointment for Arizona quarterback gained a National Cup high 393 all-purpose yards. "I played well. The team played well. Hell everyone played well," said Scroggins. "It's just disappointing. It's better than a loss, we will happily take a point. With that said, playing such an amazing game and not winning is tough." Virginia Tech players, namely wide receiver Joe Jurkiewicz, who scored 3 touchdown and gained 241 all-purpose yards, weren't too happy themselves with the tie. "We put ourselves in position where we may have to win both games," said Jurkiewicz. "You want to win every game, but you'd also like the ability to have a comfortable last game. I am a huge soccer fan, I know how these tournaments work [laughing]." What will be overlooked by the tie is the fact that Virginia Tech and Arizona played a wild game that saw seven lead changes. Each score was countered with the other team scoring, and Virginia Tech needed to edge Arizona out in the fourth quarter by 3-points to gain a tie. While Scroggins will be the player that appears on the most headlines, Joe Jurkiewicz will be remembered for playing quarterback, running back and wide receiver. The freshman wide receiver came close to passing for a touchdown, which would've put him in an elite NCAA Football club, but his pass to J.C. Coleman was completed one yard short of a touchdown. Besides the defenses of both teams, the one player kicking himself the most will most likely be Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas. Virginia Tech was inside the Arizona 30-yard line when Thomas threw both of his interceptions. "I heard people talking about the defense, but I had my fair share of problems in this game," said Thomas. "No offense to Joe [Jurkiewicz] but when you're replaced by a wide receiver at quarterback you know you're playing poorly. No excuse for those interceptions. Both teams will look to get 3-points in their next game, as they currently sit with only 1-point each. Virginia Tech will travel to Pittsburgh to take on in-state opponent Old Dominion. Meanwhile Arizona will be back in New Jersey as they take on Arkansas in Piscataway.

Re: 2013 College Football National Cup (World Cup Format)
GROUP G - Day Seven   Arkansas - 28 vs. Old Dominion - 21 War Memorial Stadium - Laramine, WY  Laramine, WY - Arkansas (1-0-0/3PTs) head coach Bret Bilema said before his game against Old Dominion (0-1-0/0PTs) that his Razorbacks needed to avoid one thing. "Don't pull a Nebraska," said Bilema on his old Big Ten foe. "They went out and acted too high and mighty. Georgia State punched them in the gut and boy did the Huskers get lucky." Bilema's squad didn't come out flat, just like he asked for, but they sure did end flat...almost. Despite an early 14-0 lead and forcing 4 interceptions, Arkansas narrowly escaped a huge upset from Old Dominion with a final score of 28-21. Arkansas running back Jonathan Williams scored a on a 48-yard tackle breaking run to give the Razorbacks the lead for good, with only 2:14 remaining in the 4th quarter. Williams gained 143-yards on 9 carries, but the Razorbacks offense was fairly mediocre in the entire second half. Failing to score in the third quarter with a 21-0 lead, they allowed a pesky Old Dominion team to crawl back into the game. "I just told the guys to be patient. We had been moving the ball and we just needed to not make mistakes," said Old Dominion head coach Bobby Wilder. "They really allowed us back in the game. We played pretty well on defense, but we were able to take advantage of their sloppy play. It wasn't a win, but I think we can at least carry on with the confidence that we can compete." Down 21-7 entering the third quarter, Monarchs cornerback Jevon Neal intercepted Brandon Allen for a National Cup long 88-yard interception return for a touchdown. Despite throw four interceptions, Taylor Reinicke drove Old Dominion down the field on their next possession and hooked up with Antonio Vaughn for a game tying 20-yard touchdown pass. The entire Arkansas fan base in Laramine, Wyoming was in a state of shock. If not for Jonathan Williams touchdown and a last second interception in the endzone by William Hines, the fans may have left in that same state, as well. In the end turnovers, four of them, and redzone failures, 25% success rate, did an Old Dominion team that fought from the start until the end of the game. "I watched that Nebraska-Georgia State game and knew we could not let up against Old Dominion," said Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen. "I am not saying we did, but I do know that they really fought harder than any team I have ever seen. I don't care what anyone says, that team is a high caliber football team and not one to mess with. Virginia [Tech] and Arizona better look out." The first team that will need to lookout is the Virginia Tech Hokies (0-0-1/1PTs), as they will face off against Old Dominion at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. Despite the loss, Old Dominion is only separated by 1-group point and 6-points in run differential. The Monarchs are very much alive in Group G. Meanwhile, Arkansas will be looking to clinch a spot in the knockout stage as they take on Arizona (0-0-1/1PTs) in Piscataway, New Jersey.

Re: 2013 College Football National Cup (World Cup Format)
GROUP H - Day Eight   Florida State - 28 vs. West Virginia - 21 Michigan Stadium - Ann Arbor, MI  Ann Arbor, MI - Before he signed his LOI with Florida State (1-0-0/3PTs), defensive end Holmes Onwukaife had committed to become a Michigan Wolverine. A dream of playing in Michigan Stadium in front of 100,000 fans was one he had his entire life. This was a dream stripped from Onwukaife when Michigan revealed that they offered him a scholarship they did not have. Having to go to another school meant he would not have a chance to dominate in Ann Arbor ... until Saturday afternoon. Charged by Onwukaife's 5 sacks and 4 more tackles for a loss, the Seminoles knocked off West Virginia (0-1-0/0PTs) in Ann Arbor, Michigan by a final score of 28-21. The All-America defensive end finally had his moment to shine in the Michigan Stadium spotlight. "It felt great. I have no ill feeling towards Michigan, but I have always been devastated that I never had a chance to actually sign," said Onwukaife. "To have a chance to come in here and put my mark on this stadium was a great feeling. Getting a huge win made it even better." While the defensive end set the tone for the Florida State defense, it was cornerback LaMarcus Joyner said slammed the final nail in the coffin on West Virginia. His 33-yard interception return for a touchdown put Florida State up 28-14 with just over 2-minutes remaining in the game. The Mountaineers would score again to make it 28-21, but never got the ball back from the Florida State offense. The Seminoles offense was solid on the day, despite 2-interceptions inside West Virginia territory by quarterback Jameis Winston. Even with the turnovers, Winston threw for 214 yards and 2 touchdowns. The freshman quarterback hit tight end Nick O'Leary for a 13-yard go-ahead touchdown pass with 2:44 remaining in the game. Wide receiver Tony Collins also had a huge affect on the game, as well, as he racked in 8 receptions for 133 yards and 1 touchdown. Paul Millard and the West Virginia offense were efficient in the game, as the quarterback threw 3 touchdowns for 276 yards. With that said, it was the Mountaineers inability to rush the football - negative-5 yards gained - that ultimately cost them the game. "You know, we did score points, but when you can't keep the team honest with balance, then you have no shot," said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgerson. "We have two games left and we need to effectively run the football. Football is a puzzle and you need the running piece in order for it to work." Florida State opened the scoring with a quick 14-points in the first quarter. It was West Virginia, however, that answered next with 14-unanswered points in the second and third quarters. In the end, Florida State was able to respond and the Mountaineers just could not catch up a second time. The defensive end matchup of the century will happen in Florida State and Holmes Onwukaife's next game, as they take on Jadaveon Clowney and South Carolina in Boulder, Colorado. Meanwhile, Syracuse will be West Virginia's next opponent back in Michigan Stadium. The old Big East opponents last faced off at Yankee Stadium in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

Re: 2013 College Football National Cup (World Cup Format)
GROUP H - Day Eight   South Carolina - 17 vs. Syracuse - 24 Notre Dame Stadium - South Bend, IN  South Bend, IN - South Carolina's (0-1-0/0PTs) opening drive had the appearance of what everybody expected out of the Gamecocks against Syracuse (1-0-0/3PTs). Quarterback Connor Shaw had completed all of his passes and South Carolina was at the Syracuse 14-yard line. Then, everything started to unravel for the Gamecocks. Syracuse cornerback Wayne Morgane intercepted Shaw for an 86-yard touchdown to give Syracuse an early 7-0 lead. From there on out the Orange dominated South Carolina and walked away with a stunning 24-17 upset victory. Quarterback Drew Allen threw for 236 yards, 2 touchdowns and only 3 incompletions for Syracuse. Two of Allen's touchdown passes came from running back Mark Rubino who scored twice in the second quarter. Rubino gained a total of 119 yards on the evening and had South Carolina off balance from the first quarter on. "The kid did a great job at making us feel uncomfortable," said South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier. "It really was all of them, though. Looking at the sheet here, I see six of their receivers caught passes and all of them had double digits in yards. That's just impressive." South Carolina made the score 14-7 late in the second quarter off of a Mike Davis touchdown run, but Syracuse offense answered immediately to lead 21-7 at the half. Jadeveon Clowney was bottled up in the contest, as he only registered 3 tackles and did not have a sack. On the flip side, Syracuse had its way with the Gamecocks for most of the game sacked David Connor Shaw a total of 5 times. "We did a lot of great studying going into this game. They're a great team, we just had a great understanding of their snap count," said Syracuse defensive end John Raymon, who had 2 sacks in the game. "We didn't have a game that great all year, so the timing of it could not have been any better." Syracuse will next take on former Big East foe West Virginia (0-1-0/0PTs) in a rematch of the 2012 New Era Pinstripe Bowl. That game will take place in "the Big House" in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Meanwhile South Carolina will look to pick up the pieces as they take on Florida State (1-0-0/3PTs) at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado.

Re: 2013 College Football National Cup (World Cup Format)
GROUP I - Day Nine   Oklahoma - 14 vs. Stanford - 14 Renstchler Field - East Hartford, CT  East Hartford, CT - The stats in football don't always tell the tale of the game. Ask the Oklahoma Sooner (0-0-1/1PTs) about that and they will agree more than anyone. Despite gaining 202 more yards than Stanford (0-0-1/1PTs), the Sooners could only walk away with a 14-14 tie to open up play in Group I. Down 14-points entering the fourth quarter, the Cardinal tied the game with 40-seconds to go on a 17-yard pass from quarterback Keith Hogan to Ty Montgomery. Even though they only gained 1-point, Stanford was pleased to walk away with a positive feeling. "I don't like ties. I also don't like losing," said Stanford head coach David Shaw. "The outcome could've been much worse than it was. We grinded and busted our [expletive] and we got what needed - a point. We just need to do that earlier next time." Oklahoma quarterback Blake Bell thrashed the Stanford defense in the first first half. Bell threw for two touchdowns in the first and second quarter, giving Oklahoma 14-0 lead into the half. With that said, it was Bell's interception in the second half while in the redzone that proved to be the difference. "Those type of plays hurt you. Not scoring in the redzone usually haunts you," said Bell. "It came back to bite us big time. Have to be rational from here on out and not put our team in a tight spot." The Oklahoma defense, lead by right end Brian Platkiewicz, had its way with Stanford's offense for the first three quarters, but buckled in the 4th quarter under pressure. Hogan drove the Cardinal 64-yards with 1:49 remaining in the game to set up the tying touchdown. He hit three different receivers on five consecutive throws for 5-yards, 21-yards, 19-yards, 7-yards and 12-yds, before throwing an incompletion on 1st down inside the redzone. Even after Stanford's game-tying touchdown, Oklahoma had a last second hail mary pass. Jordan Williamson, who has had troubles with teams from Oklahoma in the past (see 2011 Fiesta Bowl), booted the kickoff out of bonds and gave the ball to the Sooners on their own 45-yard line. Blake Bell's pass was batted away as time expired, but the Stanford kicker knows he was close to being the one to take blame for a loss. "I got scared. I'll admit. Not that I don't trust our defense, but how many times have you seen a team use a break in their advantage and end a teams game? I am lucky, but time to move on and make sure that doesn't happen again," said Williamson. Stanford will stay on the east coast in East Hartford as they next take on their Pac-12 foe UCLA. Meanwhile, Oklahoma will travel down the east coast to Florida, as they take on the underdog of Group I, Temple, at Doak Campbell Stadium on the campus of Florida State in Tallahasse.

Re: 2013 College Football National Cup (World Cup Format)
GROUP I - Day Nine   California, L.A. - 35 vs. Temple - 21 Beaver Stadium - University Park, PA  University Park, PA - The last time Landon Dockery was on the campus of Penn State, he was just visiting a friend. This time around, Dockery was at Penn State wowing 107,000 people in Beaver Stadium. The UCLA (1-0-0/3PTs) freshman running back Landon Dockery ran all over in-state Temple (0-1-0/0PTs) for a 35-21 victory in University Park, PA. His 152-all purpose yards and 3 touchdown overwhelmed a Temple team that got off to a hot start in the game. After forcing a quick three-and-out, the Owls had a 3-minute scoring drive capped off by quarterback Greg Robinson's 2-yard touchdown run. The Bruins defense looked winded and shell shocked, but quarterback Brett Hundley and Dockery picked up his defense immediately. UCLA's scores in the 2nd quarter both came with under 1-minute to go. The first was the end of a long drive, as Nick Falbo caught an 18-yard pass from Hundley to tie the game. Falbo was the key to the next drive, as well. With 18-seconds left, Landon Dockery took the handoff, passed it back to Hundley, who then connected with Falbo inside the 10-yard line for a successful flea-flicker. Hundley then found Darius Bell for a 9-yard touchdown and UCLA took a 14-7 lead into the half. From there on out, it was all Dockery for the Bruins. "He was unstoppable and we just kept on giving it to him," said UCLA coach Jim Mora. "He was a little frustrated early on, but he is that type of a work horse back. We had to settle him down a little bit and then he just plowed ahead the rest of the game." Plowing ahead was an understatement as 70 of Dockery's 135-yards on the ground came after the initial contact of a defender. He scored all three of UCLA's second half touchdowns, including a 24-yarder that put the nail in the coffin with 1:04 to go in the game. Dockery knew his return to the campus was something special. "I love the area and was glad I got a chance to give the people here something to cheer for," said the UCLA running back. "I'll be honest, the weather was a little nicer this time. Not sure I would've enjoyed trudging around in 10-inches of snow like the last time I visited here [laughing]." Was the deficit became 21-points, Temple played the rest of the game trying to make sure their run differential didn't get any worse. "You could tell our guys were starting to get really down and losing focus," said Temple head coach Steve Addazio. "I was glad Dan [Smith] and [Kevin Gallagher] were able to step up and lead our guys back onto the field with some purpose. We had to stay focused and realize the position we are in. A loss doesn't put you out of it, but a loss with a giant point differential deficit can." Wide receivers Gallagher and Smith did their part on the field, as well. The two combined for 121 yards and 2 touchdowns from Greg Robinson as they helped Temple walk out of Beaver Stadium with only a mins-14 point differential. Temple will now go down to sunny Florida, as they take on an Oklahoma (0-0-1/1PTs) team that shocked by a last-second tie to Stanford. Temple is only 1-point out of a tie for second in Group I. The UCLA Bruins will look to clinch a spot in the knockout stage if they can knock off Stanford (0-0-1/1PTs) at Renstchler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut.
