Memo to TTech fans:&#160 Ouch.

at #15 Texas Christian 44, Air Force 10

UBuffalo 40, at Bowling Green 34 (2OT)

at #6 Oklahoma 65, #2 Texas Tech 21

at Dallas 35, San Francisco 22

Call ’em the Cardiac Bulls.

Drew Willy rallied UBuffalo from 20 points down with fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Brett Hamlin and Naaman Roosevelt, then the Bull defense forced a fourth-down incompletion from Tyler Sheehan to Corey Partridge on BG’s second-overtime possession.&#160 On the very next play, James Starks rumbled 25 yards for the winning score.

Starks wound up with 62 yards on 14 total carries.&#160 Willy was 29-41-297.

It looked almost too good to be true.&#160 On TCU’s opening drive, the Frogs sliced through Air Force’s defense like the proverbial hot knife through the proverbial butter.

Then, on the Falcons’ opening drive, they attempted to force their will on the Frogs using their vaunted running game.

Bad move.

Save for a 54-yard run in the first half (which led to a field goal), and a 57-yarder in the second half for a touchdown, the Falcons’ rushing attack was non-existent, as was pretty much all Frog opponents’ ground games this year.&#160 Not a good thing when you can’t pass (Air Force, ironically, managed only 11 yards through the air).

Dalton was 21-27-321 and 2 touchdowns, ran for two more, and Joseph Turner & Aaron Brown managed 95 yards between them.

In other words, a fairly methodical win for the Tadpoles.

TCU will now wait to see where it goes for their bowl game.&#160 Likely candidates are the Pioneer Bowl in Vegas or the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego.

Earlier this week, Terrell Owens was overheard whining to NFL Network’s Deion Sanders about how he’s supposedly not involved in the offense.

Well, it is&#160 whining – especially since he’s the featured receiver in the offense and they throw to him multiple times per game (memo to T.O.: Try catching the damned thing) – but he does have a point, as was evidenced Sunday.

Owens caught seven Romo passes for 213 yards and a touchdown as the Cowboys rolled over a not-quite-there-yet Niner team.&#160 Frisco was so intent on stopping Marion Barber – he had only 59 yards on 19 carries – that they ignored how other teams were defensing Owens, and he made them pay.

Romo was 23-39-341, 3 touchdowns and a QB rating of 113.3.&#160 Patrick Crayton & rookie Martellus Bennett also caught TD passes, and special teams, playing well for once, blocked a Niner punt out of the end zone for a safety.&#160 The defense held SF workhorse Frank Gore to 26 yards on 14 carries, recovered a fumble and scored an interception..

Memo to Gary Patterson:&#160 Shut up about how you played even-up with OU after that disasterous first quarter a few weeks ago.&#160 Bob Stoopes was merciful on your in-over-your-head ass.

Had OU played the Frogs like they played Texas Tech Saturday night, Bradford & company could easily – easily&#160 – have hung 80 or more on you guys.

The bottom line was that Tech simply could not stop the OU offense.&#160 Running, throwing, you name it, there was no stopping the Sooner juggernaut.&#160 Bradford was 14-19-304 and four touchdowns, DeMarco Murray had 125 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries, and third-straing running back Chris Brown had 108 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries.

Even when the Red Raiders would try to get something going, they either fumbled the ball, threw a pick or got sacked to put a crimp in things.

So now the Big XII South – and the BCS, for that matter – is in a slight tizzy.&#160 OU was beaten by TU, which in turn was beaten by TTech, which in turn was…well, you know.

It makes for some very interesting water-cooler conversation – which is a helluva lot more fun than any solution the Ayatollah Obambi could propose.

This week:&#160 4-0.&#160 Perfect Football Weekend achieved.&#160 (6).&#160 Overall:&#160 53-15.

The PFW will return Thursday with another limited schedule, whilst I’m slaving away over hot stoves, crockpots & deep fryers…&#160

    Tech looked worse than Northwestern back in the days of its record-setting losing streak.

    ROLL TIDE!
