    The game was PPV here in Austin so I didn't see it and to tell you the truth I didn't really pay much attention to it. But wondered when as I saw the scores come up if ULM was a good offense or what, scoring 20 points on us. But it turns out that 1/2 the starting DB's were ineligible for academic reasons. Ouch...how's that happen?
    They did find a budding star in sprinter D.J.Monroe who returned a kick and is lightening fast. May play some RB. Colt McCoy picked up where he left off and while Quan Crosby will be missed, Malcolm Williams, Dan Buckner, John Chiles and Jordan Shipley will be one of the better groups of WR's in the country.

    I think the 85 limit is rearing it's head even for the teams that have supposedly recruited lights out.

    Look at OU after Bradford goes down... and as Terry mentioned, the Texas secondary didn't exactly reload without missing a beat.

    Losing starters is huge these days...
