Weekend Wrap Up
The biggest loss of this past Saturday was Iowa going down at home against Northwestern. This loss besides knocking the Hawkeyes out of the championship picture moved the Horned Frogs into fourth in the BS standings. The Frogs beat down of SDSU leaves them undefeated heading into their biggest remaining match up of the season and with a W gives TCU a legit chance of playing for it all, with some help of course. The needed is two of the top three losing not that far fetched.

#1 Florida has three regular season games left take out FIU everyone else has, other than the Panthers the Gators have a road game this weekend @Columbia against their former head ball coach. The Gamecocks have had a very sub par season, but do have the talent and speed and coaching to pull the upset especially playing at home. Same ol same ol here for Florida St. the Gators final opponent this season at the Swamp, the Noles have more speed and more talent than USC and has under achieved even more and now Star QB Christen Ponder is out for the season. But this is a rivalry game and could possibly be Bobby Bowden’s last game as head coach so the Noles could have some extra inspiration.

#2 Alabama also has three games left before the SEC title game. And two of those are on the road against very competitive team’s @Starkville and @Auburn. The Bulldogs have played way over their heads this season and have almost pulled home upsets over LSU and Florida so the Dogs coming away with a victory after the Tide coming down from beating LSU is possible. The other Tigers have the speed and athletes that they have always had but first year coach Gene Chizck has flipped the script the Tigers have the top offense in the conference but are near the bottom in defense. A signature win in another rivalry game could take down the Tide.

#3 Texas has three conference games left two on the road. But there is little to no chance for an upset here, Baylor stinks and I don’t think has ever beat UT, Kansas has totally face planted, best chance an up and coming A&M squad with an athletic QB, and the Aggies pulled the upset two years ago in College Station.

*** All three teams play on championship games and the best scenario is that Alabama losses one of its two road games and then beats UF in Atlanta, giving the two SEC team’s losses and leaving UT and TCU as the top candidates for the title game. Weekend Wrap.

#4 TCU 55 SDSU 12

This game was never in doubt the Frogs came out and took it to the Aztecs just like they were suppose to. There was no looking ahead to the Utes and then having to pull it out in the second half. Andy Dalton made sure of that with 239 yards passing and two TD’s passing and rushing, speaking of rushing they did that too for a total of 312. Just total domination only allowing 220 total yards and gaining 551 of their own. TCU has extended their winning streak to 11 and now has the biggest game of the weekend coming up at home against Utah, a win basically assures them a conference title and keeps them in the hunt.

#6 Boise State 45 LA Tech 35

It looked like the long roady had no ill effect on the Broncos as they jumped out early and lead by 27 at halftime, but the Bulldogs made some great halftime adjustments and closed the gap to only two before BSU took back control and the W. The Broncos gave up a season high 35 points but only 250 total yards LA Tech took advantage of an ill advised Kellen Moore pass and an onside kick to come away with quick points. The Bronco offense had no problems putting up 507 total yards 194 of those came on the ground from Jeremy Avery who added a TD of his own. The win gave BSU there fourth 9-0 start in six seasons and have won 22 of their last 23 WAC games with the only loss coming @Hawaii in 07 when the Rainbows went unbeaten.

#15 Houston 46 Tulsa 45

For the second straight week the Cougars played the most exciting game of the weekend, and again came out with a W. The offense numbers are even hard to imagine on X-Box Case Keenum had 522 more yards passing and three TD’s the offense in total put up 695. The problem for UH is that their defense needs to step up and keep teams from putting up 40 plus. Mid major counter parts TCU and Boise have both taken great strides and have done so with consistent defense. If the Cougars want to keep the national profile they need to keep focus on both sides of the ball.

#16 Utah 45 UNM 14

The Utes didn’t come out and blow the doors off the Lobos, in fact they gave up 200 yards of offense in the first half and only lead by 10. Second half different story as freshman QB Jordan Wynn making his first start lead the Utes to 28 unanswered and cruised to a victory over still winless UNM. Problems did arise however as the Utes gave up 334 yards to a struggling offense and turned the ball over twice. Wynn did throw for 297 and 2 TD’s in his only warm up start before traveling to Ft. Worth.
