Week 2 with the Wiseguys
Sept. 12, 1998
Syracuse's slick quarterback Donovan McNabb was nearly untouchable against the once-feared Michigan defense. And with his four-touchdown performance Saturday, he vaulted into the thick of the Heisman race.
It wasn't quite the 66-3 drubbing UCLA handed Texas last season, but Saturday's 49-31 rout of the Longhorns proved the Bruins are to be reckoned with again in '98.
While Heisman voters might shy away from 'small-school' quarterback Daunte Culpepper, true college football fans see him as one of the most talented players in the game -- and so do the NFL scouts. One year ago, Ronney Jenkins was kicked off the BYU team and unsure where he would play college football. On Saturday, he burned Arizona State in his first game back in Cougar Stadium.
This season, Stanford offered fans a money-back guarantee, promising an enjoyable experience at Cardinal games. But after a dismal 0-2 start the school is probably wishing it hadn't.
