Memo to Houston:&#160 Now&#160 are you convinced that 19-10 was a fluke???

at Arlington Heights 14, South Hills 21
at UBuffalo 31, Miami (OH) 38
at LSU 38, Kentucky 0
at Oklahoma 34, Iowa State 9
at Dallas 34, Houston 9

One could not have expected much from the Yellow Jackets with its two top weapons out (wideout Manuel Williams also missed the game with an arm injury, in addition to Donnell Dickerson sitting out due to academics), and they certainly delivered.

If this were college, Duke Christian’s job would be in jeopardy.&#160 As it is, they’ll probably go another couple of years of this crappy football, then reassign him.

…

JaMarcus Russell threw three touchdown passes to Dwayne Bowe to lead the Tigers to a rout of Kentucky.&#160 Bo Pelini’s defense continues to shine.

…

They postponed the UBuffalo – Miami (OH) game a day due to a massive snowstorm in Buffalo over the weekend. (Side note to Turner Gill:&#160 Next time you’re home, can you bring some of that down here?&#160 Thanks.)

With the score tied after three, Miami scored the fourth quarter’s first 17 points, then hung on late.&#160 Unfortunately, there was no line on the game that I saw, so it counts as a loss.

…

Speaking of losses, OU suffered a big one against Iowa State Saturday.

Oh, they won the game, all right.&#160 But it was the most Pyrrhic of victories, as star running back and almost certain first-round draft choice Adrian Peterson suffered a broken collarbone scoring the Sooners’ last touchdown of the day.

Some might say he brought it on himself, diving needlessly into the end zone on a showboat move.&#160 But it looked to me as if he was knocked off balance at about the four, and merely fell badly.

Nevertheless, he’s done for the year, and unless OU finds a competent backup, so may be the Sooners’ chances for a bowl.

…

Memo to Dave Campo:&#160 This&#160 is how you treat an expansion opponent.

Oh, sure – the Cowboys stunk up the joint the first half, going into halftime down 6-3 on two Kris Brown field goals.&#160 And yes – Bledsoe looked positively pathetic – the only reason the score at the half was so close was because David Carr didn’t look much better.

But then Dallas got the ball to start the second half, which is traditionally the time Houston begins to self-destruct.&#160 Boom – Julius Jones off right tackle for 33.&#160 Boom – defensive holding on Texans lineman Seth Payne.&#160 Boom, boom – Jones for 8 and 7 yards, respectively, then it was Bledsoe to Widdle Terri Owens for the first of his three touchdowns on the afternoon.

After an exchange of punts, Carr threw a pick off a tipped pass to Greg Ellis.&#160 Three plays later, it was Bledsoe to Owens again from the 21.

Carr’s second pass on the following drive was intercepted by Anthony Henry.&#160 Seven plays later, Marion Barber shoved the ball down Houston’s throat for a 24-6 lead.

On the very next play, Houston fumbled the kickoff right into Roy Williams’ hands.&#160 That turned into only a field goal, but the Cowboys weren’t done yet.

Tony Romo replaced Bledsoe halfway through the next drive and completed a 33-yard pass to Sam Hurd to the 2, then threw Owens his third touchdown of the day, and finished cleansing a very bad four-year-old taste from the mouths of all Cowboys fans, yours truly included.

This week:&#160 3-2.&#160 Overall:&#160 21-14.

The PFW will return Friday to chronicle TCU’s third straight loss, and a renewed call for the firing of Gary Patterson.
