Got clue, ThoseShirts???

I was wrong about the Frog defense outscoring the Wyoming offense.  They didn’t.
But the special teams did.
Arlington Heights 63, South Hills 13
at #15 Texas Christian 54, Wyoming 7
#4 Oklahoma 58, at Kansas State 35
at Nebraska 32, Baylor 20
at Dallas 13, Tampa Bay 9
Mark Grace didn’t throw much against South Hills.
He didn’t need to.  The Yellow Jackets amassed 438 yards on the ground, led by Theo Davis with 267 yards on 23 carries.  Both Michael Jacobs & Anthony Davenport added 67 apiece.
…
Baylor ran up & down the field on Nebraska’s Blackshirt defense the entire first half.  RB Jay Finley and QB Robert Griffin each took off on 40-yard-plus runs to help the Bears stake themselves to a 20-17 halftime lead.
Then the second half started, and Nebraska began to take over the game.  Joey Ganz threw two touchdown passes to wideout Nate Swift, and Finley was tackled in the end zone for a fourth-quarter safety.
Ganz was 32-46-336 passing (11 of those going to Swift for 121 yards), and Marlon Lucky led the Husker rush with 83 yards.
…
Believe it or not, at one point in the second quarter Rock Chalk Jayhawk the Wildcats had scored 21 unanswered points and was actually tied  with OU at 28-all.
UPDATE:  Thanks to the SpatulaGoddess for pointing out to me what I’d’ve noticed, had I not posted this with one eye open.  Oops.
At that point, OU got pissed.
Sam Bradford threw one TD pass to DeMarco Murray, then another one to Jermaine Gresham, then Murray scored another one on a four-yard run, then Ryan Broyles took a punt 68 yards to the house.
Eight minutes, four touchdowns.  Ball game.
…
Texas Christian did something they don’t usually do Saturday night:  They gave up a 40-yard touchdown run right up the gut.  The Frogs rarely give up rushing touchdowns period, let alone up the middle.
But other than a few well placed passes from Wyoming quarterbacks, it was another workmanlike effort for the Tadpoles.  And immediately after the Cowboy touchdown, Aaron Brown took the ensuing kickoff and returned it 85 yards for a score.  Later, a blocked punt would account for two more kicking-game points.
Offensively, it was the Andy-Dalton-to-Jimmy-Young show all evening long.  Young worked the seam of the Wyoming zone for touchdown catches of 60, 55 and 39 yards, then caught one for 64 yards which led to another score – part of a 16-22-334 night for Dalton.
Turning point of the game came during the third quarter, when Frog linebacker Robert Henson delivered a shoulder to the head of Wyoming QB Karsten Sween, who was sliding at the time.  Henson was flagged for a blow to the head, and the TCU sleeping giant awakened.
One Wyoming first down later, the Cowboys – which had been at the Frog 21 – completed one pass for a 2-yard loss, committed a 26-yard intentional-grounding penalty, and punted two plays later.  They would not threaten again the rest of the evening.
…
Who are these guys and what have they done with the Dallas defense?
The same Dallas unit that allowed 34 points to the crappy St. Louis Rams gave Tampa Bay short fields all day long, gave up long passes to wideouts Antonio Bryant and Joey Galloway – and still kept the Bucs out of the end zone.
What made the feat even more spectacular was that Anthony Henry, the Cowboys’ only experienced active corner, went down with an injury
Brad Johnson was once again a POS at QB – but he managed to get a lob to newly acquired Roy Williams before the half, and that proved to be the difference.  When (if?) Romo gets back, this will easily be the best receiving corps in team history.  It’ll be something to look forward to seeing.
This week:  5-0.  Perfect Football Weekend achieved (5).  Overall:  39-10.
The PFW returns Friday, when Vegas may show a bit of bias.

Nutscrape,
if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?
And don't even get me started on Opera or Chrome. I'm not about to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
Come now, not even a tip o’ the hat to my Saints in London? You could at least have acknowledged that they were out there, I’m sure you didn’t watch the game of course, but they don’t even deserve honorable mention?
You know what I find funny. The Saints beat the Bumpkineers who beat the Punkthers who beat the Saints. What a mess. Even worse, the Cowboys just beat the Bumpkineers who beat the Punkthers who beat the Cardinals who beat the Cowboys. What is this league coming to? Bad teams win games they shouldn’t, good teams lose games they shouldn’t, average teams bounce up to the top of their division one season/week and the bottom the next… And the calls just keep getting worse and worse… one minute they let outright murder go without batting an eye, the next they are calling ticky-tack calls on stuff I barely even saw at all, or sometimes thought wasn’t even accurate… even when it went against the Chargers! I’m starting to wonder if Hotchuli’s blanket statement that refs would “never” try to fix games wasn’t a Freudian slip and that not only are they in fact doing so but he knew about it an panicked trying to head off the investigation. If they are, well, Misha’s favorite phrase comes to mind really easily… GRRRRR.
Well enough venting for now. At least my Saints got back to 500. They should be 6-2 or even 7-1 right now if the refs had gotten a few more calls right, but at least they still have a theoretical chance of getting their division back.

Bucky didn’t suck too bad on Saturday, and managed to squeak out a win against Illinois.
Could be their only Big Ele…er…Ten win of the season.
Robert, my friend, that’s the whole point of the PFW:  To chronicle my  teams, ’cause I don’t give a shit about yours. 
Besides, that’s what the comments are for – so that you  can tell us about ’em, and we can talk all sorts of smack going forward.
Feel free to file your reports here. Pick a few teams you like, and let us know about ’em.  Use as much of my bandwidth as you like – I’ll make more. 
Spats, spats… You think I don’t know that?
What did you think about the reffing yesterday? I didn’t see any horribly blown calls but I was paying a lot more attention to my screen than yours… 🙂
