Probably the most boring PFW ever.

‘Sokay.&#160 Boring is good.

at #9 Oklahoma 26, Iowa State 6

at #21 Nebraska 20, Iowa 7

at #16 Wisconsin 45, #19 Penn State 7

at Dallas 20, Miami 19

And, I suppose if I want a fifth game to round things out, I have this one:

at Cincinnati 23, Cleveland 20

Oklahoma seems like it’s imploding.

Yeah, they lost Ryan Broyles for the year, plus they have other injuries, especially on defense.&#160 But they essentially sleep-walked through three of the four quarters of this game, not doing all that much against the Cyclone defense, save for the second quarter.&#160 They even let ISU take a lead out of the first quarter, courtesy of a botched punt snap that gave the Cyclones the ball at the OU 10.

However, that would be ISU’s offensive swan song for the day, as the elements (and the Sooner defense) pretty much shut both offenses down.

In the ’60s with USC, it was basically “student body left, student body right, student body up-the-middle” for the Trojan offense.

Substitute “Rex Burkhead” for “student body”, and you have the Nebraska offense.&#160 Burkhead carried the load for the Huskers Saturday:

Burkhead started the week with his right foot in a walking boot and finished it by running for 160 yards and a touchdown on a school-record 38 carries in Nebraska’s 20-7 victory Friday.

“A little sore — definitely a little sore,” Burkhead said afterward. “It feels good. It was a great win. To see the seniors go out in that fashion. That’s the best thing.”

[…]

After quarterback Taylor Martinez tweaked his left ankle on a first-quarter run, offensive coordinator Tim Beck told Burkhead that he would be the main man.

Was he ever.

How bad is the Cowgirlz’ secondary?

Third quarter, Fin ball at the Dallas 35.&#160 Matt Moore launches a deep ball towards Brandon Marshall.&#160 Terrence “Bust” Newman is on him, and hog-ties him at the two.&#160 We’re talking a WWE-style reverse chin-lock here.

And Marshall still&#160 catches the ball.

Add that to the two picks that “El Choko” threw on Dallas’ first two possessions, and you’d think it was a slam-dunk for the Fins, right?

Yeah, I’d think so, too.

But El Choko went 22-34-226 with two TD passes to Laurent Robinson, and Dan Bailey kicked the game-winner as time ran out, thus avenging the Leon Lett snow-game from 17 years ago.&#160 (Well, not really, but it feels good to say.)

Andy Dalton 21-31-270, and Mike Nugent kicked the game-winner with :38 left as Cincy is now at 7-4.

Not bad for the rookie from TCU, huh?&#160

Montee Ball, touchdown run.&#160 Lather, rinse, repeat.

Ball racked up 156 yards and four touchdowns on only 25 carries, and fellow Heisman candidate Russell Wilson added 186 yards and two more TDs on 19-of-29 passing as the Badgers cruised to another win at Camp Randall.

And because it was against Penn State, it’s an automatic PFW – never mind that none of my teams lost this week.&#160 (And in other games, Mizzou shut Turner’s offense down in the second half, beating Rock Chalk 24-10.)

This week:&#160 5-0 (the Cincy win counts, as well).&#160 Perfect Football Weekend achieved. (6)&#160 Overall:&#160 50-14.

The PFW will return Friday for the last full-schedule edition, and grouse about why I couldn’t attend a TCU game this year (grrrrr).

    Thank you for rubbing it in.

  2. Oh – Cleveland?

    Sorry.&#160 Wasn’t so much the Browns as it was that Dalton went to TCU.&#160 He’s actually had a good rookie season.
