Well, I’ll be damned.  They did  cover.
Arlington Heights 20, at Azle 7
at Texas Christian 67, Stephen F. Austin 7
UBuffalo 16, at UPittsburgh 27 (Buff covers SCBBS spread, counts as (moral) victory)
at #4 Oklahoma 52, Cincinnati 26
at Nebraska 35, San Jose State 12
Dallas 28, at Cleveland 10
Heights quarterback Mark Grace passed for 198 on 10-17 and the Jackets ran for over 100 yards in their victory of the Hornets.
…
UBuffalo kept it close until the fourth.  Drew Willy was 21-34-223 and a TD, but also threw one interception.  James Starks found the running a little bit tougher this week, managing only 97 yards.
LeSean McCoy had 93 yards & 3 touchdowns for the Panthers.
…
The Cornhuskers were in a nail-biter until Niles Paul had an 85-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, the first of three in the fourth quarter, to break the game open.  Pelini’s Blackshirts™ made it stand up.
However, this win came with a price.  Starting defensive end Barry Turner broke his leg and is likely done for the year.
…
Sam Bradford throws another five touchdowns (two to Jermaine Gresham).  Another near-400-yard day.  Ho hum.  Another day at the office.
Probably didn’t help that Cincy lost its quarterback in the fourth quarter with a broken leg in the third quarter, but there was going to be no stopping the Sooner offense this day.  Freshman receiver Ryan Broyles caught seven passes for 141 yards, and Gresham added another sever for 93.  The ground game, led by DeMarco Murray, accounted for 156 yards and two TDs.
…
I’m beginning to suspect that there’s some NFL officials that read This Fine Blog™, or at the very least read it back when I called him “Widdle Terri Owens”.  And I’m convinced that at least some of those zebras worked the game on Sunday.
For a long time, it seemed as if Cleveland couldn’t do anything wrong, whereas Dallas couldn’t do anything right.  And they were particularly hard on Owens – a ticky-tacky offensive pass interference penalty on him effectively killed what was probably going to be another long scoring drive, and then a ticky-tacky “excessive celebration” penalty (he dared  to put his hand on the ground, Olympic-runner-style) after a touchdown cost the C’boys another 15.  Those were part of 11 penalties for 82 yards.
No matter.  Romo threw for 320 yards on 24-32, and Marion the Barbarian accounted for 80 of the team’s 167 rushing yards and two of the three rushing touchdowns (a long bomb to Owens accounted for the other score).  Cleveland, minus Joe Jurevicius and Donté Stallworth, didn’t have the firepower to keep up.
…
By the same token, the officials SFA brought with them against TCU tried to keep them in the game.  The Frogs were penalized 11 times for 140 yards, while the Lumberjacks were only penalized 3 times for 25.
But Andy Dalton threw for 131 of the Tadpoles’ 205 yards, the running game accounted for 320 yards and Joseph Turner scored three ground TDs.  And the defense practically lived in the SFA backfield all night long.  The 67 points were the most scored in the modern era at TCU, and the Frogs actually covered the 45-point spread I mentioned on Friday.
Gary Patterson – you can hang around for one more week. 
This week:  6-0 (UBuffalo counts).  Perfect Football Weekend achieved (3).  Overall:  11-0.
The PFW will return on Friday to ask the question, “Y’mean, there’s just one of ’em?”.

Alright, this ain’t ‘real’ football related, but, by Jove, I’m going to vent, and vent LOUDLY!
How the ^%#^#^%$& is it that I can only cut three or four of my fantasy football team, and yet, everyone else (all three of you) are allowed to cut anyone you want?! I’m the only team in the league who has ANYONE on the “Can’t Cut” list, and three of them are players I *desperately* want to get rid of!
I’d be okay with the stupid “Can’t Cut” list, if any one of you had at least ONE player on it.
Yay. Way to screw me over, Yahoo Sports. In the future, I’m almost tempted to actually pay money for a FF program and website, just to avoid Yahoo screwing teams like that.
HDD, trust me – I haven’t tweaked that list in the slightest.  If there’s no one on there for any of the rest of us, it isn’t because of me.
Who do you need to drop?
