That  was an embarrassment.
Arlington Heights 18, Celina 34
at #15 Texas Christian 56, Texas State 21
UBuffalo 17, at Central Florida 23
at #12 Oklahoma 45, Tulsa 0
#19 Nebraska 15, at #14 Virginia Tech 16
at Dallas 31, New York Football Douchebags 33
Before we get started with all the recaps, I have one more score to pass along:
Florida State 54, at #7 BYU 28
Memo to Bronco Mendenhall:  Ain’t quite as easy when your cheap-shot artist Clawson can’t knock the QB out of the game, is it, jackass?!

The writeup at the Fort Worth Startlegram made note of a muddy field, which put Heights’ passing game at a disadvantage.  Not that it mattered – Celina is still a state powerhouse, and Heights is…well, Heights.  The Jackets kept it close, but two Bobcat touchdowns in the fourth quarter, led by a dominating, multi-back ground game, allowed them to pull away.
Omar Valadez had 196 yards passing in the loss.

Turnovers late cost UBuffalo in this one.  With the Bulls trailing 20-17 and driving, Zach Maynard threw an interception to Golden Knight Derrick Hallman, which led to their final field goal.  Then, with one last chance, Maynard fumbled when he was sacked.
The Bull ground game was once again non-existent, as Brandon Thermilus only managed 36 yards on 12 carries.  Naaman Roosevelt had 9 catches for 76 yards, and Jesse Rack added 5 for 76.

When Sam Bradford graduates, OU need not worry all that much.  Landry Jones will take over very nicely.
Granted, it was against Tulsa – but no school, not even North Texas, has ever given up six touchdown passes to a Sooner team.  Jones’ six TD passes were part of a 336-yard day on 25-37 passing and 529 total yards by the OU offense.
The Sooner defense chipped in with 2 interceptions and one fumble recovery in posting its second straight shutout.

When Bo Pelini took over the Nebraska job, he made the decision to hang onto Bill Callahan’s offensive coordinator and his West Coast offense.
Memo to Bo:  You might want to consider a return to the old, reliable, pound-teams-into-the-ground option game.
Five forays into Hokie territory resulted in five field goals, and Va Tech drove for a touchdown in the last minute of the fourth quarter, scoring with 21 seconds left.  Ball game.
Roy Helu had 169 yards on 28 carries in the loss.

In the AP poll out yesterday, TCU kept its #15 ranking.  And I’ll tell you right now that they were damned lucky to do so.  That pathetically lackluster effort Saturday night against Division 1-AA Texas State should’ve cost them at least one spot, maybe two.
Yes, they scored 56, which they should have.  But they had to score 21 in the fourth quarter to get that 56 – and they gave up 21 total to this outfit when they had no business doing so.  And in sleepwalking through what should have been a laugher, a major flaw has been exposed in the Frog defense – specifically, the return of the Swiss Cheese Secondary™.
Bobcat quarterbacks threw for 219 yards on the Frogs, and it was pretty much pitch-and-catch all night long.  The only reason State didn’t score more is that they occasionally insisted on running the ball, and the TCU run defense is still its stifling self, holding the TSU ground game to 30 yards.
At times, it seemed as if TCU was trying to give the game to the Bobcats.  Dalton threw a pick that TSU eventually converted into a touchdown in the first quarter, then lost a fumble in the fourth deep in their own territory, a bullet that the Frogs narrowly escaped when Jason Teague intercepted a 3rd-down Bobcat pass in the end zone.
On fourth-and-7 of the drive following the pick, TCU stupidly lined up offsides, costing them five.  Then, with at least one TCU fan screaming  at them to watch for the fake punt, the Bobcats pulled the fake anyway – and got 10 out of it.
Guess I should apply to replace Dickie Bump-ass as the defensive coordinator, hm?
Had it not been for Joseph Turner (129 yards on 13 carries), this one would have been far more of a nail biter.  TCU’s lucky to not be 1-1 and the proud possessors of an “awshit” right now.  The way they played, it was a fucking embarrassment.

Get this godforsaken skirt-chasing, golf-playing, doesn’t-give-a-fuck piece-of-shit QB outta here yesterday!
Tony Romo flat-out gave this fucking game away.  And I’m now questioning my ringing endorsement of him as the C’boys answer at quarterback.
Three interceptions led to three Douchebag touchdowns (one was a pick-six).  Another unforced fumble from Felix Jones on a kickoff return led to three more points.
Meanwhile, the Douchebags’ pussy QB, E-why (Wo)manning, played pitch-and-catch with D-bag receivers all night.  The Cowgirls made a fucking star  out of Mario “Smurf” Manningham.  And the Douchebag running game ran over the Cowgirls all night.
So much for Coach Stay-Puf’s “Mr. Fix-It” defensive coordinating.  Fire the fat bastard now, AFAIC, and draft a fucking quarterback who can throw to the correct jerseys once in a fucking while.  To my way of thinking, Romo’s nothing more than Drew Bledsoe who can move a little bit.
This week:  3-4 (yes, I’m counting Fla. State-BYU).  Overall:  11-7.
Now, if TCU plays like they did Saturday night next  week, they will get positively creamed.  When the PFW returns on Thursday, I’ll explain why, and clear up a little errata in the process.
