10 Weekly New Mexico Fail Report – The opponent was Texas Tech, but at least at home. That didn't much matter. Mr. Locksley's boys continued to find new forms of ineptitude. This time by allowing a NCAA record for completion percentage with over 40 attempts. Oh yeah and the final score was 59-13. At least there is a FCS team on the schedule next week (the way Memphis got its win on Saturday).
9 Holy War, more like Holy Massacre - BYU and Utah were thought to be pretty even this season. Evidently not. BYU turned it over SEVEN times in the process of getting blown out 54-10. That whole independence thing isn't really working so far. A blowout loss to Utah. A loss to Texas when Gilbert still played. And a win over Ole Miss by one point in a game where the offense did nothing. And Ole Miss is coming next on this list. Methinks Bronco Mendenhall might need a hug.
8 Being blown out by Vandy is the surest way to lose your job (heck even losing to them can do that can't it Mr. Tuberville) – Houston Nutt is cooked. Done. Goodnight. Might not last the season, except for one of the worst buyouts in the entire country. Losing to Vanderbilt when already on the hotseat will do that. Of course Nutt has now lost to three different Vandy coaches (unpardonable sin in SEC land) and handed Vandy is easiest conference victory in 40 years. And he's done it while epically botching yet another quarterback situation. As an aside, the guy can coach everywhere but the quarterback quite well. As for the most important position on the field, he is the worst to ever do it, without question. He takes talented quarterbacks and makes them awful. And it doesn't matter what kind of system he is running so its not just a square peg/round hole type situation. And of course we have our obligatory embarrassing gif at well:
7 Aren't the kickoff returners supposed to have good hands – Words cannot describe how comically bad this play was for Washington. It also ended any slim upset hopes that were remaining.
6 Should it really have been played? - Oklahoma St. and Tulsa started their game after midnight local time because of lightning. They finished after 3 am. There has to be another way.
5 You were blown out by UNLV... WHAT? - Hawaii come on down to lowlights. You normally don't take up residence here, but losing badly to UNLV will do that. Remember that UNLV was obliterated by over 50 points by Washington St. last week.
4 600 yards of offense, you have to be kidding me – The Auburn defense could use some tackling practice this week. OK and maybe every week for all eternity. And that will just get them to average. The tackling was bad enough I felt the need to throw the defense under the bus on my facebook. Normally things like that are reserved for twitter.
3 600 yards rushing and over 40 yards per completion, I guess the defense really was air – I'll just post the box score and let you digest the awfulness that was the Kansas defense. Considering Kansas is coached by former Tom Osborne option quarterback Turner Gill, you would think they would be a little better prepared for Georgia Tech's triple option offense.
2 It's only that its Western Kentucky that this isn't later on this list... - You were blown out by FCS Indiana St. that was winless three years ago and won one game two years ago. I rest my case.
1 All four Boston College fans in existence are still crying. 0-3 with a loss to Duke at home on the resume now. Here are the highlights (or the lowlights given where I put this)
