Michigan 42, Northwestern 24 – Denard Robinson is really good, but he makes some dumb throws that keeps the other team in the game on occasion. His 3 INTs had his team behind and allowed Northwestern to make a game of this when they had no business doing so.
Baylor 49, Iowa St. 26 – Iowa St. just doesn't have the overall firepower needed to compete in the Big 12 week-to-week, but if a team falls asleep (like Iowa did) there could be trouble. Baylor didn't go to sleep because they know they will lose anytime they go to sleep at all.
Houston 56, East Carolina 3 – I don't know what to do with Houston. Their only real test was a win over UCLA and the defense is still awful, no matter what the 3 points given up here says. It was only a week ago that UTEP got 42.
Alabama 34, Vanderbilt 0 – Ho hum. Vandy doesn't have the offensive talent but we knew that (see 77 yards of offense against South Carolina). The revelation was, for the first time this season, a downfield passing game from Alabama.
Louisiana-Lafayette 31, Troy 17 – UL-Lafayette has slayed defending champion FIU and conference overlord Troy. The road to a first conference title in school history is now clear.
Nevada 37, UNLV 0 – The score doesn't do this justice. Total yards: Nevada 699, UNLV 110. That's more like it.
Georgia 20, Tennessee 12 – Young Vols just can't run block to save their lives. -29 yards rushing in conference play so far in two games. And the next two are against LSU and Alabama. Meanwhile, the Georgia defense has found itself for the first time since Alabama took its manhood in the 2008 blackout game.
Texas A&M 45, Texas Tech 40 – A&M would have blown yet another lead if Tech was any good. The Red Raiders aren't that good though and A&M survived the second half this week to get its season restarted.
Stanford 48, Colorado 7 – Andrew Luck is really good. Colorado is really bad.
Arkansas 38, Auburn 14 – Ho hum offensive game for Arkansas. Auburn should really think about turning to Kiehl Frazier full time and building for next year. He is obviously going to be the guy over Trotter next season and Trotter looked Bausermanesque tonight.
Nebraska 34, Ohio St. 27 – Speaking of Bauserman, as soon as his defense coughed up the lead against Nebraska with starter Braxton Miller out, this game was over. Bauserman finished 1-0 with an INT in relief of the injured Miller.
UCLA 28, Washington St. 25 – This game was surprisingly well-played. That it was also shows the general lack of talent on these two squads. Also, the UCLA quarterback plague has claimed another victim (Richard Brehaut), putting Kevin Prince back under center.
