NCAA Week 8 Observations/Discussion

[majesstik1]

Here ya go WCB...

I'll fix it later

[WildCardBound]

Thanks.

Alrigghhhhtttttt, TCU is beatin down BYU 14-0 and they just picked the ball off. **** YEAH!!!!!

[WildCardBound]

23-0 TCU, ****in awesome. BCS busters are about to get booted.

[majesstik1]

How has Hall looked?

I'm about to go watch what's left of this game, but I was unable to record this one.

[Double_L]

One more BCS buster down...

Hopefully Hawaii can upset BSU on the smurf turf tomrrow :laugh:

[WildCardBound]

Good shlt by TCU, way to expose BYU. I thought BYU might make it through their ridiculously easy schedule unscathed, but luckily TCU beat em down. Awesome.

[RED GOLDMAN]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA BYU!!!!!! :falldownlaugh:

Utah will bust it again!

[Double_L]

Wrong. These are mere coincidences.
Or the simple concept of the better team winning.

[DangerousRFC]

Can Cal get the job done on the road to Arizona this week then guys?

[majesstik1]

Can Cal get the job done on the road to Arizona this week then guys?

I don't think so. Arizona is coming off an upset loss, and will be back at home for this one.

[Optimus Moo]

Ohio State-Michigan State with early Big 10 implications is the big game around here.

Also watched ESPN today and they said USC is the best one-loss team in terms of sneaking back into the BCS title game.

[Rockyn]

Ohio State-Michigan State with early Big 10 implications is the big game around here.

I'd take 1-loss Florida over 1-loss USC but it's anyone's guess as to how this will all end. We'll probably be cluster ****** with 6 or so 1-loss teams when all is said and done. I'm kinda glad LSU is out of it already so I don't have to get all fired up and worried about the final polls. There are probably going to be a lot of teams with strong cases for a berth that are going to be stuck on the outside looking in.

[majesstik1]

Ohio State-Michigan State with early Big 10 implications is the big game around here.

I picked MSU to win this game before the season started, and I'm happy to stick to that.

[TouchdownBuddha]

Hawaii is so good.

[Hobbes2d]

I don't think so. Arizona is coming off an upset loss, and will be back at home for this one.

Plus Longshore is playing. I smell upset. :banghead:

[Optimus Moo]

I picked MSU to win this game before the season started, and I'm happy to stick to that.

The MSU coach grew up in my home town, so either way, I don't care.

It's just that OSU wins keep people around here from acting suicidal or something.

[Optimus Moo]

That's called dedication.

No, it's called stupidity.

I don't mind people venting that night or maybe the next day, but Ohio State football fans are the worst when it comes to crying over a loss for days upon end.

I guess I miss the days of apathy under Cooper because a lot of fans just gave up and said nothing. Now with Tressel, they expect to win every week, and thus the week-long depression if they lose.

[Optimus Moo]

So you're saying even with OSU's current team, they should expect to lose? Sorry, but futility is not an option.

You missed my entire point.

I'm not saying that fans should expect to lose.

I'm just saying they shouldn't drag around for a week straight acting like their entire life just went bottom-up because Ohio State lost.

I mean, come on! It's a football GAME! Keyword: GAME! And if you're going to let a GAME have that big of an effect on you, then you need mental help!

P.S. Futility only happens in big games, when OSU typically chokes, LOL!

[Optimus Moo]

Unlike you Bobcat fans lol

Our band is better than your band.

[beasley for pres]

I don't see all the fuss over Michael Johnson

[beasley for pres]

[beasley for pres]

Screw football... it doesn't exist this year, both of my teams suck horribly

[beasley for pres]

Tommy B must be still coaching or the Clemson team is that bad...:thinking:


A lot of it stems from our O-Line, they're a mess. Then when the one drive when they were looking half decent, we were moving the ball, and Jamie Harper fumbles! This year is a wash for Clemson, who ever is our next HC they better bring in multiple o-linemen.

[rathman53]

Texas Tech losing by 3 at halftime I hope they lose they dont deserve a TOP 10 ranking. Eevn if they get past this one they have to play #16 Kansas then #1 Texas then #8 OK State then #4 Ok they will be unranked by the end of these games.

[WildCardBound]

Im with you rathman, but I dont think A&M is going to be able to hang with em the rest of the game.

Wisconsin completely sucks azz. I said it early in the year when they were top 10 and I just thought i'd say it again now, they SUCK. And they suck bad.

[WildCardBound]

LMAO at Wisconsin losing 28-9 to Iowa. And Iowa is in Wisconsin territorry.

Thats what im saying dude. And we had people on here earlier in the season telling me how great Wisconsin is. They are severely overrated almost every season. This year was no different.

[WildCardBound]

Is Texas Tech ****in joking with that pass protection?

Just ridiculous, Harrel could take a nap back there. It looks like he doesn't have a worry in the world.

[DangerousRFC]

Real great game between Texas Tech and Texas A+M.

[NyNinerFan]

kudos to anyone who can figure the ACC out..

Maryland gets shut out by Virginia, then they go out and shut out Wake Forest. :francis:

[NyNinerFan]

Georgia just misses a gimme field goal and leave the door open for Vandy!
down 7 with 2 mins. and change to go!

[majesstik1]

Sounds like they're trying to get the Kiffins. I doubt they be able to get Monty, but it sounds like Lane is their target.

[beasley for pres]

Sounds like they're trying to get the Kiffins. I doubt they be able to get Monty, but it sounds like Lane is their target.

Woah first I've heard of Monty... would Monty be HC and lane be OC? I hope whoever we bring in keeps Dabo on the staff.

[NyNinerFan]

Greg Hardy = BEAST!

[majesstik1]

Woah first I've heard of Monty... would Monty be HC and lane be OC? I hope whoever we bring in keeps Dabo on the staff.

Lane HC, Monty DC.

[beasley for pres]

Lane HC, Monty DC.

Dabo OC? I'd take it! One thing for sure, our QB coach right now can't be our OC, too many reverses for my liking.

[majesstik1]

Dabo OC? I'd take it! One thing for sure, our QB coach right now can't be our OC, too many reverses for my liking.

There's no way TB is letting Monty out of his contract, so it's going to probably just be Lane.

[NyNinerFan]

if Julio Jones isn't the closest thing to T.O.in college, then i dont know who is

the guy is a true freshman :francis:

[beasley for pres]

There's no way TB is letting Monty out of his contract, so it's going to probably just be Lane.

Yeah, have you heard how Lane is at recruiting? Though it's hard to base off how he did at USC, since anyone can get a good recruiting class at USC.

[beasley for pres]

if Julio Jones isn't the closest thing to T.O.in college, then i dont know who is

the guy is a true freshman :francis:


He should transfer to Clemson... but yeah anyway, dude is a beast.

[NyNinerFan]

He should transfer to Clemson... but yeah anyway, dude is a beast.

:laugh:

[pogoowner]

Terrible start for Michigan State...

[NyNinerFan]

Alabama trailing for the first time this year!!...

FIRE SABAN!! :drive:

[beasley for pres]

Alabama trailing for the first time this year!!...

FIRE SABAN!! :drive:

yes...fire Saban.... then the prophecy will be underway!

[rathman53]

Alabama trailing for the first time this year!!...

FIRE SABAN!! :drive:

:laugh:

[Rockyn]

They didn't fire him quick enough, TD Bama. :laugh:

[beasley for pres]

They didn't fire him quick enough, TD Bama. :laugh:

I guess LSU will have to fire Les Miles to make up for it!

[NyNinerFan]

WOO-HOO!!!! TD 'BAMA!!!

SABAN WE FORGIVE YOU!! :pards: :twothumbsup:

[Rockyn]

I guess LSU will have to fire Les Miles to make up for it!

Hey The Hat has more AP titles than Saban. :laugh:

[rathman53]

PSU can get their tune up today against Michigan before they go to OSU and beat them down.

[Optimus Moo]

Ohio State up 21-0 on Michigan with three first-quarter TDs.... wow... I honestly didn't expect this!

[NyNinerFan]

TD 'BAMA!!!

Terrance Cody was lined up as a full back on the goal line!! LOL! He was lined up right behind Andre Smith!! you talk about foldin' up shop!?!? :falldownlaugh: Ole Miss didn't have a chance!!

[rathman53]

34-0 USC over Washington State half way through the second quarter. WSU need to be kicked out of 1-A

:falldownlaugh:

[Optimus Moo]

Michigan up 10-0 early on Penn State.

[Optimus Moo]

PSU just scored a TD to pull within 10-7.

[Optimus Moo]

Michigan 17, Penn State 7 early second.

[9ertotheend]

PSU can get their tune up today against Michigan before they go to OSU and beat them down.

Penn St 7 Michigan 17 :whistling2:

[Rockyn]

Terrence Cody down...I'm amazed 2 people were able to get him off the field.

[NyNinerFan]

Terrence Cody down...I'm amazed 2 people were able to get him off the field.

yeah no kidding.. he might collapse the cart.. :laugh:

forgive me i have to laugh to keep from possibly crying right now.. :shoot:

[Rockyn]

Yikes, they just said on CBS that Cody's in pretty bad pain, out for the rest of the game. Also said the training staff was pretty somber. Not good...

[49erFanInVA84]

go penn state!!!

[rathman53]

Pretty obvious that PSU was looking past Michigan. They are getting their **** together now. It wont be long.

[NyNinerFan]

Down 17-7 isn't getting your crap together. We'll see what happens in the second half (I won't due to a work assignment out of the office), but right now PSU is sucking.

[49erFanInVA84]

any given saturday..hopefully it won't be as bad as WF losing to Maryland

[rathman53]

Down 17-7 isn't getting your crap together. We'll see what happens in the second half (I won't due to a work assignment out of the office), but right now PSU is sucking.

Like I said PSU will get/has now gotten their **** together down by just 3 now.

[Rockyn]

I know USC is clearly the superior team to Wash State, but 55-0 early in the 4th just screams of d**che. People wonder why no one respects Pete Carroll...

EDIT: Correction, 62-0...

2nd EDIT: Yeah, scratch that thought.

September 6 California L 66-3 0-2 (0-1)
September 27 Oregon L 63-14 1-4 (0-2)
October 11 at Oregon State L 66-13 1-6 (0-4)
October 18 No. 6 USC Losing 62-0

Ok Pete I'll forgive you. :laugh:

Every team should run up the score as much as possible in every game. If the other team doesn't like being blown out, they should play better.

[TouchdownBuddha]

Every team should run up the score as much as possible in every game. If the other team doesn't like being blown out, they should play better.

Word.

Kansas is running all over Oklahoma right now (well they did use the ref to block for them on that last touchdown :laugh: )...if only they could stop them on defense they'd have a game!

[Rockyn]

Every team should run up the score as much as possible in every game. If the other team doesn't like being blown out, they should play better.

Why? To prove to the country that Carroll's an a-hole? They can't beat Oregon State...but when they get a chance to blow out a team they have to pad their stats. It's just lame, that's all.

[WildCardBound]

Word.

Kansas is running all over Oklahoma right now (well they did use the ref to block for them on that last touchdown :laugh: )...if only they could stop them on defense they'd have a game!

Yeah seriously, Oklahoma's offense is having their way with that Kansas D.

[WildCardBound]

24-17, bama only winning by a TD.

[Rockyn]

Hotty Totty TD, 24-17 Bama...9:27 left

[TouchdownBuddha]

Yeah seriously, Oklahoma's offense is having their way with that Kansas D.

Nice stop there, hopefully they can make something of it.

[WildCardBound]

Oh, i wasn't referring to USC. I dont care if its two random high school teams. If the team being blown out doesn't like it, they should either forfeit or step up and play.

Edited cause it was all ***** up.

[Rockyn]

Oh, i wasn't referring to USC. I dont care if its two random high school teams. If one being blown out like, they should either forfeit or step up and play.

I realize it's a team's right to do whatever they want, I just think it's pretty pathetic to keep the foot on the pedal.

It's now 69-0.

[WildCardBound]

I realize it's a team's right to do whatever they want, I just think it's pretty pathetic to keep the foot on the pedal.

It's now 69-0.

That's cool, I love it. 69-0, lol.

[Rockyn]

Did u even watch the gm?...cuz u sound like an azz that just doesn't like SC...if u did u would of seen Pete let the time run out in the 1st half(inside the 10)...also he took out 1st and 2nd string players...if they could let the other team forfeit the gm I'm all for it but since that will never happen u have to go through the motions and hope overly sensitive people like u don't want kids feeling hurt...

Oh yeah Wash St is that bad...

Of course I don't like USC. Mainly because Pete Carroll is a piece of trash.

It's no big deal though, let them have their 69-0. They're USC, they're bound to lose to another garbage opponent. :laugh:

[rathman53]

Way to respond 20 mins later...:rolleyes:

******* some people are so clueless on this board :laugh:

Just made it out of that one. Any SEC team can beat any other SEC team any given Sat. regardless of record :) Makes for great FB.

[NyNinerFan]

basically

i'm not in it for the brownie points in this league.. JUST WIN!!

think of how many of these types of wins (and losses!) LSU had last year, and Florida the year before... yet they were the last ones standing because they won a lot more of these types of games than they lost. . it's really that elementary..

i'll take it.. :thumbsup:

[beasley for pres]

Just made it out of that one. Any SEC team can beat any Big Ten team any given Sat. regardless of record :) Makes for great FB.

true .. :laugh:

[NyNinerFan]

man.. Orakpo is **** good!

[Rockyn]

**** Brandon Lafell is back to butterfingers form. :banghead:

[Benji]

Ogbonnaya

[NyNinerFan]

this game has the feel of a Texas 40 point win

[Benji]

WOW Malcolm Williams!!!

[Hobbes2d]

Nice to see Missouri continue to show how overrated they are.

[PA_NinersFan]

Ohio State with a 45-7 thumping of Michigan State. Got the offense and defense working well, just in time for our destruction of PSU.

one good game and i see buckeye fans think they are national title contenders again.

[beasley for pres]

Texas vs. Florida BCS Championship!

[49erFanInVA84]

we are...penn state!!

[beasley for pres]

we are...penn state!!

Is the worst F'n chant I've ever heard!


Yes we know you're Penn Freakin State... WE GET IT!

[beasley for pres]

Please find where I said we are NC contenders again.

http://www.sethskim.com/Terrelle%20Pryor.jpg


Don't worry... they're just scared.

[Benji]

Texas vs. Florida BCS Championship!

I'd love it!

[Rockyn]

Texas vs. Florida BCS Championship!

That would be a fantastic game, I'm all for it.

[NyNinerFan]

That would be a fantastic game, I'm all for it.

i'm not. :hoppy:

[NyNinerFan]

I'd love it!

not me. :nonono:

[Benji]

WOW @ TEXAS!

Ogbonnaya seems to be a nice pounding back with good speed

[Rockyn]

I'm trying to keep up with LSU and Texas at the same time.

Colt McCoy is a freak.

[Rockyn]

i'm not. :hoppy:

Haha, I'd take a Bama-Texas game too. That would be just as fierce. I would like to see how Texas would play an SEC defense. Not that SEC defense owns all, but there are few solid defensive teams in the Big 12.

[WildCardBound]

SC ties it up. Im hoping they could pull this off.

[Rockyn]

This is absolutely pathetic.

[WildCardBound]

This is absolutely pathetic.

Didn't they say that kid went to Harvard? You think he'd be smarter.

[Rockyn]

Didn't they say that kid went to Harvard? You think he'd be smarter.

That's Andrew Hatch, not Jarrett Lee.

[NyNinerFan]

man.. i gotta admit.. Colt McCoy's a lot better than i thought he was..

he reminds me a lot of a Hasselbeck type of qb in the pros.. good mobility, nice quick release, good accuracy... great player.. certainly the frontrunner for the Heisman

[WildCardBound]

That's Andrew Hatch, not Jarrett Lee.

Wtf? Are they rotating Qb's?

I haven't watched LSU much this year and i'm sorta half-azz, half-drunkinly watching this one.

[WildCardBound]

SC takes the lead. 17-10 (probably)

[Hobbes2d]

one good game and i see buckeye fans think they are national title contenders again.

And its not like MSU is that good either. :laugh:

[Hobbes2d]

man.. i gotta admit.. Colt McCoy's a lot better than i thought he was..

he reminds me a lot of a Hasselbeck type of qb in the pros.. good mobility, nice quick release, good accuracy... great player.. certainly the frontrunner for the Heisman

Eh he still doesn't impress me that much. These spread offenses have become a joke.

[Rockyn]

**** you Ryan Perrilloux.

[Rockyn]

Wtf? Are they rotating Qb's?

I haven't watched LSU much this year and i'm sorta half-azz, half-drunkinly watching this one.

For some inexplicable reason they are. Hatch is more mobile. Both are garbage.

[WildCardBound]

Those Texas cheerleaders with the chaps on are ****in hot.

[NyNinerFan]

Eh he still doesn't impress me that much. These spread offenses have become a joke.

yes they are a joke.. a huge joke...

i'm just lookin' at how he handles pressure, his mobility and his release.. it's nearly impossible to judge how he'll do in a pro style offense against other pro defenses, how he'll read coverages, make audibles, etc.. i'm just lookin at the bare tangibles that's all..

these spread offenses almost make me not wanna watch college football anymore

[Hobbes2d]

yes they are a joke.. a huge joke...

these spread offenses almost make me not wanna watch college football anymore

I mean do these defenses make any adjustments? Shipley is open every ****ing play. It's like they're playing against Nolan's Big Nickel D. :laugh:

[NyNinerFan]

i know i ain't the only one that just heard this... but Musberger on the Texas game just said

"before the game i was talking with a scout of the San Francisco 49ers and they were just raving about how impressed they were with Orakpo, both on the field and off the field.."...

[Hobbes2d]

i know i ain't the only one that just heard this... but Musberger on the Texas game just said

"before the game i was talking with a scout of the San Francisco 49ers and they were just raving about how impressed they were with Orakpo, both on the field and off the field.."...

Orakpo is a beast. Doesn't really matter that the scout works for us. He'll lilkely have new bosses next year. :laugh:

[NyNinerFan]

Orakpo is a beast. Doesn't really matter that the scout works for us. He'll lilkely have new bosses next year. :laugh:

hopefully..

and i guess that would make our chances of actually drafting him even better! we're not too bright when it comes to obtaining impact pass rushers despite how many of them flood the first 2 rounds of the draft every year, while it continues to be our biggest problem defensively.

[MLaw99]

TD Cal, 7-0.

Great catch by Tucker...

[Rockyn]

I have this itching feeling that LSU is reverting back to a 2nd-tier SEC program. I really don't even know where to begin.

[Rockyn]

Praise FSM, we tied it up at 17.

[NyNinerFan]

another pick by Daniel..

Brian Orakpo.. my goodness! what a player! :francis:

[Hobbes2d]

With Colt playing Heisman like and that front 4 of UT this will be a hard team to beat...Orakpo FTW...

They have TTech and Okie State soon.

[Rockyn]

Holy ****, we're up 24-17. :francis:

[Rockyn]

I don't think I've ever been this happy to beat South Carolina...:laugh:

[WildCardBound]

Ha, VT just lost and I love it. They need to be punished for Taylor's stupid "t-mobile" nickname.

[beasley for pres]

Ha, VT just lost and I love it. They need to be punished for Taylor's stupid "t-mobile" nickname.

That is a dumb nickname

[Hobbes2d]

Haha Cal is going to blow the game, Longshore FTL.

[TouchdownBuddha]

How does a big program like Cal end up with Longshore as a quarterback?

[MLaw99]

Haha Cal is going to blow the game, Longshore FTL.

I always get this really nervous feeling like I'm going to be horribly ill when he's in the game. I swear I've never seen a quarterback make as many boneheaded plays as this guy.

27-21, Cal.

[Hobbes2d]

How does a big program like Cal end up with Longshore as a quarterback?

Because for some dumb reason these big programs or coaches place a big emphasis on having upper classmen be starters thinking they've somehow EARNED their starting spot by being around so long. I don't get it.

[MLaw99]

Geez, Arizona is just gashing Cal... 28-27, Zona.

[Hobbes2d]

Geez, Arizona is just gashing Cal... 28-27, Zona.

Well them averaging 40 pts a game isn't a fluke. They have a good offense.

[MLaw99]

Well them averaging 40 pts a game isn't a fluke. They have a good offense.

True, what do you think of Tuitama as a pro prospect?

[Hobbes2d]

True, what do you think of Tuitama as a pro prospect?

I think he's a sleeper.

[rathman53]

Ha, VT just lost and I love it. They need to be punished for Taylor's stupid "t-mobile" nickname.

Dude It has nothing to do with the Nickname you just like to see every ranked team lose except for USF.:laugh:

[MLaw99]

You've got to be kidding me, Longshore's still in after that wonderful INT? My god Tedford you've been talking to Nolan haven't you...

[TouchdownBuddha]

Cal deserves to lose this game.

[Hobbes2d]

Cal deserves to lose this game.

I called this the other day. It was obvious. Longshore = losses.

[MLaw99]

Its over, what a pathetic showing by Cal.

[Hobbes2d]

What a surprise that he's thrown a pick 6. I've never seen a QB get picked off and have it taken to the house as much as Longshore. What a bum. :laugh:

[Garbage Man]

Sjsu Ftw!!!!!! 5-2.

[Hobbes2d]

Sjsu Ftw!!!!!! 5-2.

They play Boise State next week! I think I'm going to go, that should be a good game.

[Hobbes2d]

Wow, Tedford just now figures out that maybe he should go to Kevin Riley. :laugh:

[MLaw99]

Wow, Tedford just now figures out that maybe he should go to Kevin Riley. :laugh:

Brilliant!

[Hobbes2d]

Boateng has butterfingers.

[rathman53]

Sjsu Ftw!!!!!! 5-2.

Game on ESPN next week on Thursday or Friday cant remember which. That's a first.

[Hobbes2d]

Game on ESPN next week on Thursday or Friday cant remember which. That's a first.

They've been on ESPN before lol...they were last year against Hawaii when they almost upset them.

[WildCardBound]

Dude It has nothing to do with the Nickname you just like to see every ranked team lose except for USF.:laugh:

That too, lol. Except USC.

But i've got something against VT and their boring style of play. I like offense. Taylors stupid nickname just added to the dislike.

[49ersforlife5x]

Here's what I saw today:

Although Kansas lost, they put up a great fight, and shouldn't fall too far in the rankings.

Ohio State is back. I know many still have their doubts, but that win today was very convincing.

Hawkeyes laid it on Wisconsin, who have really fallen off the map in the last few weeks.

Alabama, for the second game in a row, was just good enough to pull out a win. This time, though, they seriously deserved to lose. Ole Miss played so much better, down the stretch, it's a real shame Alabama did what they did in the second quarter.

I guess Texas is for real. If you didn't believe it after last weekend, you will now! Missouri looked really out of place, and the final score is actually kinda deceiving, because Missouri was never in it, and it was basically done at the end of the first quarter.

I'm still not sold on Texas Tech.. They play a pure spread offense, and their defense is soft. Texas A&M is not a good team right now, and they gave the Red Raiders all they could handle for the first 80% of that game!

The way it looks to me, is that the National championship game is going to be a rematch of a couple years ago; Texas vs. USC.

[majesstik1]

basically

i'm not in it for the brownie points in this league.. JUST WIN!!

think of how many of these types of wins (and losses!) LSU had last year, and Florida the year before... yet they were the last ones standing because they won a lot more of these types of games than they lost. . it's really that elementary..

i'll take it.. :thumbsup:

What you just said is why the SEC is the most entertaining league, there is no "write in" winner for either division in this conference.

Texas vs. Florida BCS Championship!

Any B12/SEC game would be a dream NCG. Offense vs defense, I love it.

**** you Ryan Perrilloux.

Curse as much as you want, I actually think you guys are better off without him.

i know i ain't the only one that just heard this... but Musberger on the Texas game just said

"before the game i was talking with a scout of the San Francisco 49ers and they were just raving about how impressed they were with Orakpo, both on the field and off the field.."...

:pray:

He's really emerging as my favorite target in the draft this year.

[Texicali blue]

That Texas-Mizzou game was something else, probably about as perfect a first half of college football as has ever been played, considering the quality level of the opponent.

Malcolm Williams' TD catch was huge, the Longhorns need WRs other than Cosby and Shipley to step up and a couple of the young guys had big catches in that game, Buckner had the long TD pass at the end of the game, too and Brandon Collins converted a couple of 3rd downs in the game.

The Texas defense can no longer be criticized for having a young secondary, because they may be young, but they are dang good.

What was most interesting was that Texas played a completely different style of defense against Mizzou than against Oklahoma. They frustrated Bradford by sending 6 guys at him every down, forcing him to make quick decisions and got to him. Against Mizzou they rarely rushed 4, usually just 3, dropped everyone back into coverage to eliminate the long ball and punished them for every catch making 'em earn every yard.

I can't wait to see what they do to Ok St, who is the top rushing team in the Big 12, considering Texas defense gives up less than 50 yards per game on the ground. Limiting Dez Bryant will obviously be the main effort of the defense.

Then the following week they go to Lubbock to play a completely different kind of offense with another dynamic WR, but one not built around the run game. Can't wait to see what Muschamp comes up with for those games.

And watching Muschamp go ballistic as Texas allowed its first rushing TD of the season was great, he didn't care they were still up by 25+, he was mad at the lack of effort, plenty of game film for Will to excoriate his players over.

Meanwhile, this Texas team without a top flight RB prospect is averaging close to 200 yards per game on the ground and has yet to play its most explosive runner, Fozzy Whitaker much at all, due to nagging injuries.

Just imagine if they still had Jamaal Charles and Jermichal Finley on the team.
