Graeme McDowell, with that Irish sense of humor, wandered up to tournament director Greg McLaughlin Saturday night at the Sherwood Country Club as asked if it could be okay if he a minimum of Attempted to beat Tiger Woods within the final round of the Chevron Globe Challenge. After all, Tiger WAS going to win this one, wasn't he? Tiger Woods WAS going to cruise with that four-shot lead he designed for 3 days, wasn't he? Surely, even this revamped, work-in-progress version of Tiger Woods could hold on to a four-shot lead, couldn't he? An unusual thing occurred on the way to the re-anointing of the former world's No. 1 player on that dramatic Sunday at Sherwood.
Padraig harrington got Graeme McDowelled. How dare that plucky small lad from Northern Ireland? The nerve of him. Not a way Tiger Woods could blow a four-shot lead on a golf course that is created for him to feast up with those five par-five holes. Not a way Tiger could lose with adoring caddy Steve Williams publicly declaring that "The tide has turned" for his employer. An individual forgot to inform that bold little party crasher, McDowell, this is Tiger's shindig. It is his stomping ground, the course where he's won this little 18-man invite four times and seemingly completed second whenever he does not win. Sadly for Woods, whenever you appear up "ultimate grinder" within the golf dictionary, his name continues to be replaced by McDowell's, who demonstrated that at the U.S. Open. It has been a dream season for McDowell and it was a surreal finish on Sunday that ripped the flamboyant Tiger Trophy from Woods' grasp.
In the end, McDowell was folding, wasn't he? He had run Woods down, thanks in part to some of those gaffes which have annoyed Woods this season. But there was McDowell hitting his tee shot in the par three 17th into grass so high that one might lose a little child in it. The laughing lad from Ireland created one heck of the bogey and surely that might doom him and surely Woods would fittingly get that elusive win on this last day of his golf season, 2010 version. Surely, Woods would win when he hit that vintage Woods eight-iron within three feet at the 72nd hole.
No way McDowell will be brash enough to hole that 25-foot birdie putt and force Woods to bear the agony of a playoff. To make matters worse, he'd do it again on the first playoff hole. Drained an additional 20-footer for birdie, he did. The scheduled Woods march to victory had grow to be just another head-scratching moment for the world's No. 2, who need to now ponder what is coming up next. Will some other cocky European pick his pocket when victory looks so specific next year? Oh possibly it was the setting, the Sherwood property in which the vintage "Robin Hood" movie with Errol Flynn within the lead role as legendary outlaw who robbed in the rich.

Holiday Bowl 2010: How Nebraska Football Will Keep Washington Leashed
On paper, this looks like the biggest mismatch in the bowl season apart from Oklahoma-UConn. Nebraska came in 1st spot inside the Huge 12 North and Washington completed the season in third spot in the Pacific-10. Having thumped Washington, 56-21, in September, the large and bold Nebraska Cornhuskers will attempt to get it done once more. Their opponents would totally love to pull an upset. Whenever a bully comes back around, the victim faces large decisions?astand up or be stomped on. Throngs of fans from Nebraska is going to be in town to see if the Huskers can thump Washington twice.
Reside from North park, at 10 p.m. EST, Qualcomm Stadium's lights will shine on Dec. 30 within the Vacation Bowl. A senior quarterback and leader on offense, Jake Locker's Huskies career can finish after that evening. He faced the ferocious Huskers defense captured. On Sept. 18, they met, and also the score doesn't actually indicate the whipping Nebraska gave Washington. Since that time, the Huskies think they are improved and they're out for revenge. Whether they are saying it publicly or not, there is a bad taste in their mouths in the Cornhuskers' dirt. It was flying in their faces in the course of the clouds of dust the Nebraska offense compiled on the strategy to the end zone. Within their very first meeting this season, Nebraska was ranked No. 8 within the nation. Massive Red went to Seattle and opened up a can of I-backs on the Washington Huskies. Right after the game, they were given out of town and flew back to Lincoln with a 3-0 record. Washington lost inside a blowout and was severely bogging down at 1-2. They were inside a daze in the wake of the Huskers' running game.
Taylor Martinez ran for three touchdowns and 137 yards and added 150 yards passing. He broke off an 80-yard touchdown about the very first play of the other half. When he did it, off a fake dive play, the score was 28-14. He managed to get 35-14 and also the rout was on. Roy Helu II also dashed in the future towards the finish zone party. He racked up 110 yards and two touchdowns on yet another dazzling I-back sprint for a score. On a run of 65 yards and one for eight, he had a highlight-reel game. Rex Burkhead added 104 yards and a 19-yard dash for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

USC Football: Trojans Ought to Use Spread Offense in 2011 Due to Offensive Line
High school signing day on February 2 is still over six weeks away as well as the USC Trojans are doing really properly with 16 committed recruits plus six early enrollees who have already signed, with much more expected soon. The two junior college and 4 senior high school early enrollees will be available for spring practice and don't count against the 20-scholarship limit* for 2011.
USC is rated close to the top in football recruiting and is likely to finish in the top five again having a significantly bigger class (as much as 30 new scholarship athletes) than past years. But, USC needs offensive linemen (OL) more than any other position as well as the numbers up to now have been disappointing. So far, you will find only 3 offensive linemen who've committed: David Garness (signed) and commits Marcus Martin and Cody Temple.The Trojans consist of an excellent quarterback, receivers and running backs. Nonetheless, these skill players cannot execute when they don't get the blocking to open holes or give the QB time to come across open receivers.
If the offense cannot preserve drives and employ up the clock, then it puts too much pressure on the defense, this spends an excessive amount of time on the field. This normally creates a defensive breakdown within the other half. The defense is going to be far better in 2011, as discussed in "USC Football: 2011 Trojans Is going to be Led by QB Matt Barkley and Better Defense." But, no USC team has ever performed well without a good OL which includes backups. So something must change for a effective 2011 season.
Right after practice on Oct. 21, Lane Kiffin asserted on account of personnel in 2011 season, the Trojans might use a spread offense. Kiffin told Gary Klein from the L.A. Occasions. Look at what we have. We've got a bunch of great receivers and backs and tight ends and we don't have a fullback on our roster that's on scholarship two months from now.
