    Looks like the Longhorns are going to roll TCU, up 31-16 late in the 4th. I'm
    sure it's worked to our advantage that it's in Austin and TCU is coming off a tough loss to Ohio State in an emotional game.

    But we've played good defense all day and the offense hasn't been like that Machine down in Alabama, but we've been effective at times, arrow pointing up.

    The TCU qb, as he did in the game with Ohio State made some great plays and all but he also made some big turnovers that really cost them the game. I once was worried that we'd be 1-5 after the OU game, now KSU even on the road doesn't look so daunting so while I don't think we'll beat OU we certainly could be 4-2 after that game.

    Some other games:

    Wow Va.Tech went to ODU and got their heads handed to them.
    The MAC gets another win over the B10 with Buffalo beating Rutgers

    Congrats kp.
    We always wondered what Bama would be like with an elite QB.
    Answer: Wow.
    My guys did a good job against the run but as I feared our back end had no chance.
    The boys in maroon never quit so we'll try to build off that.
    We killed ya in the kicking game! :wink:

    Yep. Tua is special. A&M stuffed our running game but he burnt them repeatedly. This was a good test. Roll Tide!

    Alabama looks unstoppable. Army is currently battling Oklahoma. This has been a fun week so far.

    Yeah there must be a rip in the fabric of time in Norman and it's 1947 for Army to be even close in the 3rd quarter.

    Ducks are looking great vs Stanford, their QB who I never heard of looks like the real deal.

    Wow OU escapes with the win in OT vs the Army.

    Oregon was up big on Stanford, got hosed on a review and hen they had a horrible series that ended with the Tree's getting a defensive TD and now they are on a roll and it's now 24-21

    It's time for Pac12 after dark....

    Washington tried a double pass that was intercepted. Now ASU has a fumble review at the Washington 1, while the Oregon-Stanford game has now become a grind.

    This is the fun time of the day.

    Trees make a great comeback and the Ducks blow it. The had the ball, and driving to run out the clock when a Duck back fighting for yards makes the fumble with 50 secs left. That passing game to their big TE's is very tough to defend.

    Ohio State had little difficulty with Tulane winning 49-6. Dwayne Haskins threw for 304 yards completing 21 of 24 passes for five touchdowns. (only played in the first half) The offensive line gave Haskins great protection and time to throw. The upcoming game next Saturday at Penn State will dictate our future success. We will need to eliminate some of these silly penalties in Happy Valley!

    Liberty got blown up by North Texas last night. North Texas is now 4-0 and every game has been a blow out. How good are they?

    I think Liberty has lost twice this year, once to North Texas and the other to Army.

    Well, North Texas and Central Florida should be in the top 10 then I guess.
