Morning Game QuickThoughts Week 10

Iowa 24, Michigan 16 – We knew little about the Wolverines before this game and we know not much more other than Iowa is even more of a Jekyll and Hyde team in their home/road split. I suspect that Michigan really isn't that good, but the problem is the offense, specifically the square peg round hole problem the coaching staff has with Denard Robinson.

Louisville 38, West Virginia 35 – Mountaineer defense has completed its collapse giving Dana Holgerson the opportunity and reason to bring his own guy in (instead of the inherited Jeff Casteel). For Louisville, who knew that the only thing the offense needed was to fire coordinator Mike Sanford (other than the 7 UNLV fans in the world).

Ohio St. 34, Indiana 20 – Nice moral victory for awful Indiana team, but where is the Ohio St. defense at? Despite winning lately, this defense hasn't been up to normal standards and that side of the ball has been affected much less by suspensions and Tresselgate.

Michigan St. 31, Minnesota 24 – Jerry Kill has the Gophers obviously improving. Michigan St. seems to be headed towards its November doldrums again, but once again the teams they are bad enough that it doesn't matter.

Connecticut 28, Syracuse 21 – Big East LOL.

Florida 26, Vanderbilt 21 – SEC Least continues to play close games when matched together at least. And Florida is going to be bowl eligible.

Iowa St. 13, Kansas 10 – Turner Gill finally got the defense to bother showing up, only to see the offense show little improvement.

NC State 13, North Carolina 0 – What was that Carolina. NC State had seemingly mailed in the season last week only to wake up and beat you again. Are you losing just for the sake of keeping Tom O'Brien employed?

Virginia 31, Maryland 13 – The wheels are totally off for Maryland. The Edsall tenure is already toxic and he will be fired at the first reasonable opportunity. As for Virginia, kudos to Mike London for getting this team bowl eligible for the first time in four years.

TCU 31, Wyoming 20 – The TCU defense still has issues, but rolling up 617 yards of offense is just ridiculous and covers a lot of other problems.

Texas 52, Texas Tech 20 – Three thoughts here: 1, Texas has gotten to the point where they can blow up teams with lesser talent again. 2, the Texas Tech defense is truly awful, shocking for Tommy Tuberville. 3, the Texas Tech win at Oklahoma will be the single most befuddling result of the entire season.
