Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Not much of a write-up in the Ft. Worth Startle-gram, except I see where Heights spotted Dunbar a 7-0 lead, then scored the next three touchdowns while simultaneously shutting down the Wildcat attack; Dunbar would barely get above 100 total yards for the night.

Ball control probably had something to do with that; Michael Jacobs rushed 30 times for 120 yards.  Marquis Jackson added six rushes for 53.

Last year, Turner Gill was the toast of college football.  Then again, last year Turner had something resembling a defense.

This year’s UBuffalo squad typically treats opposing offenses like crap…only this year, they’re the goose.

Bowling Green came back from 13 down in the fourth to win.  Tyler Sheehan’s 18-yard pass to Freddie Barnes sealed the deal, part of a 313-yard effort on 22-of-40 passing.

UBeefalo continues to find depth at running back; Jeffvon Gill (no relation to Turner that we know of) ran for 172 yards and a touchdown for the Bulls.  Ike Nduka ran for a touchdown before an ankle injury sidelined him.

Defense ruled the day in Lincoln.

Landry Jones will no doubt become a fine quarterback for the Sooners, given time and a full spring/fall practice schedule.  But for this year – the Sooners miss the hell outta Sam Bradford.

Jones threw five interceptions, one of which proved fatal, as Prince Amukamara returned it all the way to the Sooner one.  Zac Lee (who didn’t start the game, incidentally) would throw a flare to Ryan Hill on the next play, and the Blackshirt defense would make it stand up.  Husker linebacker Matt O’Hanlon would have three of the other Nebraska picks.

Other than that, Jones was 26-58-245.  Ryan Broyles would catch eight for 74; DeJuan Miller would nab five for 69.

Roy Helu Jr. rushed for 138 yards on 20 carries for the Huskers.

I don’t know why I need have worried.

The ESPN write-up put it this way:

It was over when… The bus carrying the focused Frogs arrived safely at the stadium.

Was it ever.

The Frog offense scored on five of its first six possessions in squashing the hapless Aztecs.

Dalton was a very workmanlike 14-20-239, and again it wasn’t like he needed to be all that sharp – the Frog running game went over 300 yards for the second week in a row, with Matthew Tucker and Ed Wesley leading the way with 79 and 77 yards, respectively.

But Andy did  have a couple of TD passes – both of them moderate-range bombs to Ryan Christian, who will never  be confused with Jeremy Kerley. (grin)  Dalton would also run for a couple of scores.

The defense would limit SD State to 279 total yards, 30 of which probably could have been prevented on a Ryan Lindley TD pass in the third quarter which the Frogs did, in fact, have covered.  They would redeem themselves by blocking the PAT, however.

All night long, the Beagles had blanketed Miles Austin.  Through three-and-a-half quarters, he had been thrown to only three times, and had zero catches.

Now, to be sure, Romo was completing throws to other receivers – Roy Williams had a pretty decent game, catching five passes for 75 yards.  Witten caught a few more than in recent weeks (seven for 43), and even Kevin Ogletree got into the act again.

But then Austin ran a double-move slant-and-go, catching Sheldon Brown trying to jump the anticipated slant pass.  And Romo, after a pump fake, found Austin streaking to the post.  Forty-nine yards later, Dallas had a 20-13 lead.

There was a helluva  lotta home cooking on the part of the zebras in Phucky.  Illegal passes that were allowed to stand, bogus offensive pass-interference penalties against Dallas that were called, bona fide  offensive pass-interference penalties on the Beagles that weren’t…you could write a book.

On the other hand, the zebras played a part in how the game flowed the C’boys way.  Suspect ball-spots on two occasions caused Beagle head fat ass coach head fat-ass Andy Reid to throw the red challenge flag.  Reid lost each challenge, leaving Phucky with no timeouts.  And when Dallas got the ball back after a subsequent Beagle field goal, Philthy couldn’t stop the clock.  A couple of first downs later, it was over.

Romo was 21-34-307 with that touchdown to Austin; he also threw one pick.  Marion the Barbarian ran the ball 12 times for 50 yards, many of those yards late in the fourth when Dallas needed them.

The defense did its part, sacking TWGQBEITHOE,E™, Donna McCrabbs, a couple times, and intercepting him twice.

Dallas is now 6-2, and in sole possession of first place in the NFC East, thanks to four straight losses by the New York Football Douchebags.  Tall cotton after the underwhelming start, but we’ll take it

This week:  4-2.  Overall:  38-17.

The PFW will return – tomorrow.  UBuffalo’s playing again on Tuesday, and Realm™ Intelligence would prefer a moratorium on the beheadings for now.
