Thanks, and <S>!  :aok

They still looked very good.  Indiana isn't a bad team.

I must say, every time I see Mike Webber making a big play or a touchdown, it makes me remember that he was originally a Michigan commit.   :cry

I've seen OSU play Navy twice at the Shoe.  If you're not ready to play defense against the triple option you are in trouble!  It's an offense that few BCS Schools use and conversly encounter.

Heh!  Hajo and I were thinking a couple of the same things at the same time regarding Houston and MSU.

msu is/was missing key components to the defense; linebacker and defensive tackle.  at a minimum the two best players on defense, and really its three if you consider the other linebacker that is hurt. also, the o-line has not been able to dominate like last season, with the loss of two key starters.  Throw in a inexperienced quarterback that can not handle the pressure..... that's a failed offense and defense, and three strait losses.  Ultimately, like most teams, a lack of depth has left them vulnerable to the injury and graduation bug.

Bama has a tough matchup next week with Tennessee.  Bama will be favored but expect Tennessee to be close or win.

TAMU had them well in hand till the punch out that went through the end zone. Still gave TU their first loss and TAMU stays undefeated.

I agree......lack of depth is a killer.  Unfortunate it happens.  D'Antonio is a very good Coach.

A&M is a very good team.  That game was the best one I saw his past weekend.


Tennessee has been behind by a bunch every week and still managed to come back.

Jake Browning should be considered for the Heismann. This Sophomore is an amazing QB.

The Washington Huskies are super impressive.  They have a great quarterback, and also a great everything else.

70 points against Oregon -- wow!  Not to even mention the blowout of Stanford.

Washington STATE has also beaten Oregon 51-33 and Stanford 42-16, but they lost to Eastern Washington and Boise, I would say the game between the two is probablly going to be a muct watch the Cougs season is pretty shot now but they have a chance to rain on Washington's parade if you like Offense I think this will be you kinda game.

I think Washington State is a good team, too, despite those two losses; and I agree that the Washington / Washington State game will be a big one.

What I'm super interested in seeing next week (besides Michigan games that I'm always interested in seeing) is  Wisconsin vs. Ohio State.

Where is the Cougs vs Husky game this year? Here (Seattle) or Pullman?

Jake Browning leads all FBS quarter backs with 23 TD and 2 INTs. There is not a QB playing better ball anywhere in the US.

What do you all think about the Matthew controversy with UF and LSU? I know what it's about - UF refuses to play LSU unless it is in Gainesville and LSU has dug it's feet in one having 7 home games and refuses to adjust to play the game.  It's actually quite comical and the number 1 topic on sports radio down here where everything is college football.  I have been listening to this over the past few day on Sirius radio and find it entertaining.
