FanBlog's 2nd Annual If We had a College Football Playoff Playoff - 1st Round Friday Night Early Games

Navy @ Michigan State

The 20th seeded Spartans rallied from a 24-10 hole and knocked off Navy 29-24 Friday Night. Kirk Cousins 9-yard scoring pass to Larry Caper with 38 seconds left avoided the upset. Cousins threw for 330 yards on the night but was hampered by three picks. Navy ran the ball for 346 yards and used a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter to break a 10-all tie. Gee Gee Greene led the attack with 159 yards. Michigan State's Edwin Baker scored three touchdowns in a 95-yard rushing effort.

Air Force @ NC State

Air Force forced three Wolfpack turnovers and had a pair of 100-yard rushers as it easily upset NC State 28-3 on a chilly night in Raleigh. Jared Tew led the attack with 117 yards rushing and two touchdowns, while Asher Clark had 104 yards. The Falcons outrushed NC State 257 to 96.

About theMountFanBlog

The Mount FanBlog is hosted by Ryan Raffensperger, a sports fan of all types and a Mount Basketball fan forever.

Raffensperger has loved the Mount as long as he can remember, which basically means 1981 - and remembers the true #GloryDays of Memorial Gym. He remembers the players from those days to the athletes who play at Knott Arena today. And if it's a #MountMayhem day, it's going to be a good day.

He holds a Syracuse University degree in broadcast journalism. He has broadcast high school, college & minor league levels of all sports in his past and regularly covered high school football for his hometown paper. So the blog does make a little sense.

Raffensperger worked professionally as a CPA for many years, but the chronic inflammatory immune disease Sarcoidosis made it impossible to continue that in a manner he found acceptable. Since then, he has spent more time around the Mount St. Mary's basketball program and values Coach Dan Englestad, his staff, and the players' impact on him. The blog was much more active, but the advent of Twitter (follow @themountfanblog) has made writing a little less important. But he hopes that the balance swings back in favor of more traditional content soon.
