3 - 2 USM over UTSA second quarter
USM trails UTSA 16-10 with 8:40 left in the 3rd Qtr.
In Power 6 action UCF and Cincinnati every bit as good as advertised. Cincinnati up 19-17 at half. Play of note Cincinnati goes for 2-point conversion and comes up inches short. Time will tell if that was the right call.
North Texas 27 Rice 17
WKU 38 FIU 21
UTSA 23 USM 20
MT 20 Troy 17
Cincy pulled out the hard earned W. They had to beat a very good UCF team, a couple of odd decisions by Luke Fickell and AAC refs. But the dream lives on!
Wisconsin is out of the play-off hunt. Does Ohio State have a defense that can make a stop, if needed, to win a national championship? Did not look like it today.
Another question, did Alabama win today? Ready for a little bedlam.
Bedlam was boredom as Oklahoma cruised 41-13.
#21 Liberty loses a heartbreaker 15-14 to NC State. A victory would have been the third over an ACC team this season. Heck of a second year as a full FBS team. The good news is Hugh Freeze issued a pretty strong denial about his interest in the South Carolina job. Being a private school Liberty does not release coaches salaries. ESPN speculated his salary is at least $3 million. I think Freeze might very well hold out for a better job than South Carolina.
Indiana did themselves proud against Ohio State, only losing by a TD. Tom Allen is doing a great job at Indiana.
Pat Fitzgerald is also doing a great job at Northwestern. Great win for his team against Wisconsin today.
Great win for Cincinnati as they try to play play-off buster.
Enjoyed the Notre Dame win tonite over UNC, 31-17. UNC was leading the nation in total offense, but after the first two drives, the Irish D really shut down the Heels.
Liberty beat UMASS 45-0. Yeah, everyone beats UMASS, and easily. Gotta be tough to be a player/coach/fan of UMASS.
Iowa State beat Texas 23-20. ULL's win over them is looking better every week.
Tomorrow...Gig 'em Aggies, beat dem tiggers!
