Note to self:  Next time you wanna replace a high-school team, make it the UBuffalo Bulls.
Royse City 56, at Kennedale 42
TCU 45, at Colorado State 14
at UBuffalo 28, Central Michigan 55
#13 Oklahoma 27, at Oklahoma State 21
#9 LSU 31, at #5 Arkansas 26
at Dallas 38, Tampa Bay 10
Kennedale matched Royse City touchdown for touchdown the entire game – except for the last two TDs of the first quarter.  Senior running back Garrett Ellington had four of the Bulldogs’ eight touchdowns.
…
The UBuffalo game was over by halftime.  So, thankfully, is Turner Gill’s first season as UB’s coach.  It’s not likely the Bulls will make a return engagement in the PFW – at least, not until they get a lot  better.
…
Allen Patrick had 163 yards and Leander quaterback Paul Thompson…
(NOTE:  I keep mentioning Leander because that’s the home of the SpatulaGoddess – a fact with which, given Mr. Thompson’s success, she’s insufferably pleased. )
…was 7 of 11 with a touchdown.
Next up for the Sooners is the Big XII championship against Nebraska.  Three years ago, I’d’ve been ripping Bob Stoops several new ones and extolling the virtues of the Cornhuskers.  Amazing how things change.
…
Forget the losses to Florida & Auburn.  LSU’s the best team in the SEC.  And they proved it by making bacon out of the Hogs.
JaMarcus Russell was 14 of 22 for 210 and two touches, and Tiger running backs amassed 123 yards against that slop the Hogs threw up (pun intended (snicker)).
…
I generally don’t watch/listen to TCU-Colorado State games, because I’m always afraid TCU’s gonna get their heads handed them.
Should probably keep doing that.
TCU spotted the Rams a touchdown on a Ballard fumble and subsequent drive, then scored the next 31.  The defense shut down all but a trick play receiver-option pass that went for seven.  Ballard was 17 of 35 for 238 and a TD, and junior tailback Aaron Brown had 166 yards on 14 carries.
…
In like fashion, Dallas spotted the Bucs an early touchdown, then held TB to a field goal the rest of the way.
The defense picked off rookie Bruce Gradkowski twice and harassed him into several bad throws.  And when Gradkowski did  make what seemed like a sure touchdown to Joey Galloway, Anthony Henry came from way back, sacrificed his body and barely tipped the ball out of danger.
Romo was…well…Romo, going 22 of 29 for 306 yards and five touchdowns, the second time in three weeks the Dallas passing game has eclipsed the 300 mark, and the first time in 23 years a Dallas quarterback has thrown five TD passes in regulation of a game (the first in six years of any type game).
Dallas now stands in sole possession of first place in the NFC East by virtue of the New York Football Giants collapse in Tennessee today.  Dallas travels to New York next week to play those Giants, and they have an opportunity to put them down for the count.
And that  might make next weekend a PFW, regardless.
This week:  5-1 (UBuffalo didn’t even come close  to covering).  Overall:  51-22.
The PFW returns Friday for the last regularly scheduled go-round of the season.  (Damn, is the end of the season already? )
