Three Biggest Surprises
1. Tommy Rees. There was a quarterback fight this offseason, but Dayne Crist was expected to be the main man for the Notre Dame job. He was bad, but Rees has also been good enough to keep the job.
2. Riley Nelson. Jake Heaps is still the franchise for BYU, but Nelson is getting the job done saving the season.
3. Army’s win over Northwestern. The Wildcats didn’t get the offense going against a rough Knight defense and Army came up with its strongest win of the year by far.
Three Biggest Disappointments
1. Notre Dame’s turnovers against South Florida and Michigan. If the Irish had turned the ball over seven times in the first two games instead of ten, they’d be unbeaten right now in the national title hunt.
2. Navy. 2-4 with the wins only coming against Delaware and Western Kentucky? This isn’t Navy football. The defense has been awful and the running game isn’t doing enough to pick up the slack.
3. Heaps. He was supposed to take his game to another level after getting the true freshman yips out of his system. The 2010 super-recruit has only completed 54% of his passes for 962 yards and three scores so far.

3. Army QB Trent Steelman completed 1-of-7 passes for six yards, and ran 28 times for 108 yards and three scores, in the win over Northwestern.
Top Freshman
WR Ross Apo, BYU
Three Big Calls For The Second Half
1. Notre Dame will be 9-2 with a shot at a BCS game on the line at Stanford in the final game of the regular season.
2. The winner of Army-Navy will go bowling. The loser won’t.
3. BYU will be a member of the Big 12 next year.
