Well, the defense did, at least. Can't say I blame them; that fourth quarter against Missouri was an uncharacteristic meltdown that will probably haunt them for the rest of the season. Must hurt to have your whole season ruined because you forget to play for four quarters.

Damn, stupid bye weeks mess up my mind.
Have fun at PurDont

My selection of games on local TV was interesting, but not interesting enough. Firstly, we got to see the biting Illini for the second week in a row getting blown out by a team from Michigan. Apparantly they don't get the rights to any of the good matchups on channel 53. Snooze.

Next up was an overmatched Notre Dame against USC. They kept it sort of interesting for a quarter in that the score was close for that long. Snooze.

Next up were two games. Arkansas (rated 11!) managed to get blown out by Florida because their offense is pathetic. They made the game close score wise at the end, but it wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicated. In the other game Texas Tech and Oklahoma State played basketball, or at least that's what it looked like to me. There was no defense at all, OSU scored on their first 8 possessions! OSU seemed in command, but Tech managed to get within a score late in the game before they tossed away their last chance with an interception. I guess their QB just got tired, he threw 67 passes today!

It was pretty disappointing really. The Big Twelve game was probably the best game in the conference as far as it being a fairly close game, albeit a complete slaughter for both defenses. The Big Ten game we got was crap, perhaps the least competitive game this week in the conference. The SEC game was ok, though I wonder why people thought so highly of Arkansas. They didn't do squat on offense until half way through the 4th quarter, and it was too little too late. I wish Notre Dame was better. They are televised most weeks, but they suck. I normally like watching them because as an independent they are a good measuring stick for the relative power of the different conferences, but it isn't nearly as instructive to try to measure the variation between one blowout and another. USC looked strong on both sides of the ball. They only looked vulnerable to ND's running game, and that mostly in the 1st quarter. Who saw a great game this week?

Look at Symons' (the Texas Tech's QB) season numbers. I can imagine he may be getting just a biiiit tired .

What, does he have 30 TDs in 6 games (and I'm not even exaggerating)?

though I wonder why people thought so highly of Arkansas.

They were much better earlier in the season. They had some very, very good early games, especially in beating Texas. The last two weeks (Auburn and Florida) they have looked bad.

However, in their defense, Auburn and Florida are two of the hottest teams in college football (especially Auburn, after being TOTALLY unprepared the first two games of the season).

Who saw a great game this week?

Well, the Purdue/Wisconsin game I got on ESPN was pretty damned good. Orton, Purdue's QB, was amazing and drove them down to the last second FG, after Wisconsin tied the game late with an amazing punt return.

And OSU/Iowa wasn't that bad of a game, neither was FSU/Virginia.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Make that 7 games for Symons... and 32 TDs . In addition, 3506 yards passing on the season... that arm hasn't fallen off yet?

Oh, and Rutgers actually made it close against Pittsburgh .

[Drake Tungsten]

Symons is a beast. I'm really glad the Huskers don't play Texas Tech this year.
