As non-conference play goes away, we learn which teams really have the stomach for the fight.We also learn that I should never, ever, ever gamble. With real money. I like kneecaps, for what it's worth.
To the drama:
North Texas 24, Indiana 21
How many saw this coming? I don't care how bad Indiana is, the Mean Green of Denton threw their saltiest haymakers right in a row and they all connected. They ran the ball very well (226 yards), stopped Indiana's run game (50 yards) and were able to force some turnovers and get four or five sacks. All 21 Indiana points came in the fourth quarter: An interception return and passes of 44 and 67 yards. Think the UNT crowd was sweating bullets?
Oklahoma State 30, Texas A&M 29
The SEC and Texas A&M announcing that the latter will join the former in July 2012 the day after A&M goofed a 17-point halftime lead to Oklahoma State is so ... Aggie. Turnovers are a bitch. The Aggies had a careless fumble that, to me, was it for them. After that, they started to panic, what momentum they had disappeared and it was up to Brandon Weeden to nail it down. So Aggie-like. The Cowboys managed 91 offensive plays. The Aggies, 74.
Oklahoma 38, Missouri 28
First halves, for OU, don't even matter anymore. I checked in on this game in the first quarter. It was Mizzou 14 and the Sooners 10. No biggie. Oklahoma will win by 10 points. That offense is so scary that there isn't a deficit they can't make up. At least in this conference. In the SEC, I'm sure LSU or Alabama would do something about it. Still, sloppy for the Sooners. Two turnovers and 532 yards allowed. Playing fast and loose will catch up to you sooner or later.
Kansas State 28, Miami 24
Big-time college football win for the Wildcats. John Hubert had 166 yards on 18 carries. The 'Cats are 3-0.
Baylor 56, Rice 31
I saw some ridiculous stat that Bob Griffin III has more touchdown passes (13) than incompletions (12). No way that's true. No way to verify or debunk. Baylor looked way more impressive dismantling Rice than Texas did. Baylor had 33 first downs, totaled 673 yards and Griffin went back to pass 33 times and wasn't sacked. I'd find more ridiculous stats for you, but I'm tired.
Texas Tech 35, Nevada 34
Tech was outplayed here and more than likely do not deserve to win. However, they did win and are 3-0. Scored 28 second-half points to edge out the Wolf Pack, who could only muster a pair of field goals in the final 30 minutes of the game. No good playing a field-goal game against Tech.
SMU 42, Memphis 0
Good teams blow the doors off bad teams. SMU may not be great, but the fact that they can manhandle a bad opponent is a telling sign. Zach Line had 20 carries, 136 yards and three touchdowns. The Mustangs allowed 139 total yards and seven first downs.
TCU 55, Portland State 13
TCU kicked a tying field goal to start the second quarter, 3-3. With five minutes left in the third quarter they were up 41-3. Casey Paschall with a very Dalton-like 14-20, 214 yards and three touchdowns.
Texas State 35, SFA 26
Yikes. Did you know that those assholes at Texas State went independent? What a bunch of dumbasses. SFA needs to go to the North Hall parking lot and practice their defense. What in the name of Jeremiah Trotter is going on?
