I did? Well then I have nothing. They're kickers, make sure you have one. 1) Kevin Kelly, Penn St. - vs IND, vs MIST 2) Louie Sakoda, Utah - at SDST, vs BYU 3) Ian McGarvey, Ball St. - at MIOH, at CMCH 4) Ryan Pretorius, Ohio St. - at ILL, vs MICH 5) Jonathan Phillips, Florida - vs SOCAR, vs Citadel 6) Jose Martinez, UTEP - vs SMU, at HOU 7) Igor Iveljic, Akron - vs BUFF, at OHIO 8) Jason Bondzio, Arizona - at ORE, vs ORST 9) Ryan Harrison, Air Force - BYU, at TCU 10) Kevin Goessling, Fresno St. - vs NMSU, at SJST 11) Grant Mahoney, Iowa St. - vs MO, at KNST 12) Ben Bell, Houston - vs TULSA, vs UTEP 13) Mike Salerno, Northern Ill. - vs CMCH, at KENT 14) Jarod Tracy, Tulsa - at HOU, vs TUL 15) Dustin Keys, Virginia Tech - at MIA, vs Duke 16) Brett Jaekle, Nevada - vs SJST, vs BOST 17) Brooks Rossman, Kansas St. - vs NEB, vs IWST 18) Tony Ciaravino, Connecticut - at SYR, at SOFL 19) Colt David, LSU - vs Troy, vs MISS 20) Philip Welch, Wisconsin - vs MINN, vs CAL Poly ** Sam Swank, Wake Forest - at NCST, vs BC ** Amado Villarreal, Northwestern - at MICH, vs ILL ** Mark Buchholz, Clemson - vs Duke, at VA ** Kyle Brotzman, Boise St. - at IDAH, at NEV ** Brandon Walker, Notre Dame - NAVY (Balt), vs SYR Defenses I always feel so guilty for listing defenses last. Truth be told they are probably more important than your kicker and tight end and deserve more respect. The Florida Gators defense is coming alive for the home stretch and no team has a better week 12 & 13 combo than the Gators...Minnesota has brought in a bunch of JUCOs the last two years and they are flying around the ball...The Hawkeyes will finish the year strong with dates against the aforementioned Gophers and the struggling Boilermakers...Look who has crept back into the defensive talk: Bud Foster and his Hokies...LSU got shelled by the Gators last week and they haven't registered a sack since before the market crash, but you'd be wise to hang onto them for the playoff run...There is one thing we do know, Wisconsin will win at least one more home game this year. Week 13 against Cal Poly. 1) Gators, Florida - vs SOCAR, vs Citadel 2) Hawkeyes, Iowa - vs PUR, at MINN 3) Huskies, Connecticut - at SYR, at SOFL 4) Nittany Lions, Penn St. - vs IND, vs MIST 5) Cougars, BYU - at AF, at UTAH 6) Eagles, Boston College - at FSU, at WFST 7) Buckeyes, Ohio St. - at ILL, vs MICH 8) Tigers, LSU - vs Troy, vs MISS 9) Tigers, Clemson - vs Duke, at VA 10) Deamon Deacon, Wake Forest - at NCST, vs BC 11) Seminoles, Florida St. - vs BC, at MYLD 12) Commodores, Vanderbilt - at KTKY, vs TENN 13) Broncos, Boise St. - at IDAH, at NEV 14) Bulls, South Fla. - vs RUT, vs UCONN 15) Hokies, Virginia Tech - at MIA, vs Duke 16) Bearcats, Cincinnati - at LOU, vs PITT 17) Tar Heels, North Carolina - at MYLD, vs NCST 18) Fighting Irish, Notre Dame - NAVY (Balt), vs SYR 19) Scarlet Knights, Rutgers - at SOFL, vs ARMY 20) Terrapins, Maryland - vs UNC, vs FSU ** Golden Gophers, Minnesota - at WIS, vs IOWA ** Badgers, Wisconsin - vs MINN, vs CAL Poly ** Hurricanes, Miami (Fla.) - vs VATC, at GTCH ** Bears, California - at ORST, vs STAN
