The Solid Verbal: Week 10 was when the luck ran out

It was bound to happen.

Following an interesting, but not life-altering Week 10, let’s ask some questions:

• Was LSU-Alabama ... good? What can we take from a game like this without any offensive action?

• How did Ohio State jumpstart its offense to the point of completely wiping the floor with Nebraska?

• We know about the dominance of Michigan’s defense, but where does the offense deserve some love after the Wolverines’ dismantling of Maryland?

• How did Wisconsin so thoroughly silence a resurgent Northwestern on the road?

• What went wrong for Baylor against TCU? And what went so right for the Horned Frogs (finally)?

• What’s the temperature like on Jim Mora’s seat at UCLA?

• After a big win over Oregon, how has USC appeared to have transformed since its disastrous start to the season?

• What stands out about North Carolina’s effort over Georgia Tech?

• Florida? Arkansas?

• How much love can we possibly heap upon Penn State RB Saquon Barkley? Whatever the amount, it's not enough?

... and much more!
