STOCK WATCH: Fast-Glance Week in Review

Nov. 14, 2005 | Dick's Stock Watch provides a fast-glance review of the past week in the world of sports, charting whose stock is up and whose is down.

STOCK UP

Steve Spurrier's South Carolina team has won five straight SEC games. The old ball coach has to get consideration for national Coach of the Year honors.

The Pistons, under new coach Flip Saunders, are still unbeaten and off to a great start.

Texas showed it deserves consideration for number one by blowing out Kansas. The Longhorns have outscored their opponents 128-14 over the last two games. Texas has scored under 40 once all season, 25 at Ohio State.

UCLA quarterback Drew Olson threw for 510 yards in a win over Arizona State.

Gilbert Arenas scored 43 points against the Spurs Saturday night.

Nathan Vasher of the Bears set an NFL record by returning a missed field goal 108 yards for a touchdown against the Niners Sunday.

STOCK DOWN

The Falcons lost at home to a Packer squad that came in with one victory.

The Hawks and Raptors are both 0-6.

Texas Tech football lost to a struggling Oklahoma State team.

Urban Meyer has to feel some disappointment after his Gators lost to Spurrier and the Gamecocks.

Terrell Owens has created enough controversy with the Eagles. His apology was too little, too late. Drew Rosenhaus hasn't done much right in this situation either.

It has been a rough start for Larry Brown as Knicks coach, as his team lost five straight to open the season before beating Sacramento Sunday night.

Dick Vitale coached the Pistons and the University of Detroit before broadcasting ESPN's first college basketball game in December 1979. Send him a question for possible use on ESPNEWS.
