Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Uh, Vander-who?

Royse City 21, Texarkana Liberty-Eylau 27
at TCU 38, Air Force 10
Oklahoma 21, Nebraska 7
Dallas 23, New York Football Giants 20

Whenever Roger Staubach lost a game he had a chance to win in the last two minutes (and it wasn’t often, trust me), they used to say that he didn’t so much lose as he just ran out of time.

The same could be said about Richard Morrison and the Royse City Bulldogs.

Down by six points, Royse City had the ball at the Liberty-Eylau 25-yard line and five seconds left for one more play. Morrison tried to buy some time by stepping forward at the line of scrimmage but ran into Liberty-Eylau’s Devin Bruce, who dragged him down for a sack to end the game.

“We had three receivers on the left, and I was trying to get the ball to the back of the end zone,” said Morrison, who finished 20-for-30 passing for 264 yards.

Were the PFW to continue into next week, Eylau would be the high school entry.&#160 However, there likely won’t be another one until bowl season starts.

…

If I were the Air Force play caller, I’d’ve called some of their plays in different sequence Saturday afternoon.&#160 They were able to move the ball against TCU, but not nearly often enough.&#160 In fact, their only offensive touchdown came after the issue had already been decided (their other TD came on a blocked punt).

Ballard did a fairly decent job, going 20 of 25 for 220.&#160 Much of that was obtained in the first half, when the Falcon corners were playing light years off the Frog receivers.&#160 Snap, quick pass to the flat, gain monster yardage, repeat.&#160 Pitch-and-catch can&#160 be fun.

And once the Frog defense figured out what Air Force was doing, it was fairly easy to stop them.

…

The SpatulaGoddess is particularly proud of her fellow Leanderite, Paul Thompson, at this point.

Thompson went 19 of 34 for 265 yards and two touchdowns in leading the 8th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners over the 19th-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers.&#160 OU’s quick-as-lightning defense beat the massive Nebraska line at the point of attack and shut out an offense ranked in the top 10 in the nation in both total offense and scoring offense.

…

Widdle Jeri Shockey said earlier in the week that there was “no way in Hell” that the Cowboys would beat the Giants in New York.

Like some fries with that crow, Jeri?

Granted, the Giants are down right now.&#160 And I’ll give you that critical players for them are hurt.

That said…Since the 36-22 drubbing in Week 6, the Cowboys have been the better team.&#160 Not the louder one (Shockey, call your office (snicker)) – just the better one.

Romo was 20 of 34 for 257, and the ground game rushed for 100 yards.&#160 Marion Barber had 76 of those, showing that while Julius Jones may be the flashier&#160 runner, Marion Barber is the more effective one.

Widdle Terri Owens had eight catches for 84 yards, but he also had another couple of drops, bringing him to 13 for the season.&#160 And we cut Keyshawn for this guy…?

Martin Gramatica kicked a 46-yard field goal with 1 second left in the game after missing his first attempt from 44 in the first quarter, silencing the pro-Mike Vanderclank apologists for at least one week.&#160 Neener, neener.

UPDATE:&#160 And while I’m thinking about it – would someone tell me what the Hell&#153 it is with the Giants and those damned ugly red practice-jersey-type unis?

This is the second year in a row they’ve worn those POS jerseys for the Cowboys up in the Meadowlands – what, do they think there’s some sort of voodoo in those things?

Giants, drop those damned things, quick.&#160 The only unis that are uglier are anything the Oregon Ducks happen to be wearing.

Ew.

This week:&#160 3-1.&#160 Overall:&#160 54-23.

The PFW will return for the bowl edition December 19th, when TCU kicks off the bowl season.

   I can’t *believe* you’re skipping the PFW during the run to the playoffs period for the NFL. This is the time of year where the stories become legends and all that, right? If you are lacking of good college/HS games to comment on there’s plenty in the NFL to take up the slack… comment on other teams you like (or hate). And aren’t you supposed to be a Dallas die-hard? Even if you aren’t this weekend should be a good game to watch… even if I do think your cowgirls are (unfortunately) probably going to beat my saints I’ll still enjoy watching a good game and cross my fingers hoping that I’ve anticipated incorrectly… 😉
