College Football Afternoon Game QuickThoughts Week 9

Oklahoma 58, Kansas St. 17 – This game was a lot like the 2008 game. Oklahoma jumped up early. Then Kansas St. made a comeback before halftime. Then Oklahoma blew the Wildcats away after halftime. As expected. Any chance of a Kansas st. upset ended last week when Texas Tech beat Oklahoma. That ensured a focused performance from the Sooners.

Penn St. 10, Illinois 7 – Nasty, ugly, terrible game to watch. Illinois' offense has had the wheels come off and it allowed Penn St. to do what Penn St. has done all season.

Tulsa 38, SMU 7 – Two weeks ago, SMU looked like Houston's main challenger in C-USA West. Now they are toast and Tulsa is that challenger.

Oklahoma St. 59, Baylor 24 – This game wasn't even that close. Cowboys totally destroyed Baylor in this game. Most of the points from the Bears came during garbage time.

West Virginia 41, Rutgers 31 – West Virginia defensive collapse last week not a mirage. Still have firepower to win against most in Big East though.

North Carolina 49, Wake Forest 24 – Competition getting stronger for Wake Forest. Florida St. win looks like more of an anomaly than most games right now.

Minnesota 22, Iowa 21 – What was that Iowa? No excuse. For a coach on the hotseat, this would be the nail in the coffin. For the seemingly untouchable Kirk Ferentz, it's nothing.

Notre Dame 56, Navy 14 – Nice easy win for the Irish. When they don't fire up the turnover machine, they are really good.

Oregon 43, Washington St. 28 – Wazzu not the pushover they once were, but outcome was never really in doubt.

Georgia 24, Florida 20 – Georgia made numerous errors on special teams and tried to give this game away, just like always. Richt made crazy play calls to get Georgia the needed points and the Florida offense was once again miserable meaning they couldn't take advantage of the mistakes as they customarily do.

Boston College 28, Maryland 17 – Randy Edsall did one of the best coaching jobs in the country last season as the head coach at UConn. This season, he has done the absolute worst and one of the worst of all time. He took a team with a returning quarterback and 14 other starters that won 9 games and turned them into the worst team in the ACC. Shameful job by him and his staff, especially the offensive staff.
