Nah, it's just that that style of offense is far more effective at lower levels where people make more mistakes and there are more skill mismatches. Super-athlete QBs can really take advantage of lucky breaks and skill mismatches. Those things don't come along as much at the higher levels so they have to be polished.

That's why I think Tressell made a mistake starting Pryor before he was ready. Colt, for example, is the kind of QB I'd love to have as the starter. He's polished, smart and doesn't make a lot of mistakes. He doesn't need lucky breaks to exploit because he can consistently produce results even when the opposition is playing well. This year's Texas team is better than the one that beat USC in the Rose Bowl, IMO.

Well that is not true because the team in 2005 won because it had an amazingly talented offensive line that just flatened people with the ground game.  This years offensive line is not playing to that level yet and Colt has just been stuggling with the flu for a month and has been sluggish and sickly all year.  By the end of the season you might be right I feel like they are alot closer than their level of play indicates so far.

I am totally in agreement with you that Pryor is not the right sort of QB for Ohio State but if they are going to have guys like Pryor play QB they need to go to a more spread option sort of offense.  If they are not then yeah they need guys like Krenzel.

:punk:

That was a hard, defensive, emotional, and mistake filled game.  I am really drained.

Here is the final damage:

311 total yards for OU, -16 rushing
269 total yards for Texas, 142 rushing
OU had 10 penalties for 125 yards
Texas had 11 penalties for 103 yards
OU had 5 turnovers
Texas had 3 turnovers

Just an ugly game and two powerful defenses.  Fittingly the end came with a rough penalty that gave Texas the clinching 1st down.

The best part is Texas has won 4 of 5 against Oklahoma.  Remember when Mack Brown couldn't beat Bob Stoops?

I do feel bad about Bradford, it did not look bad at the time but aparantly he has the same injury he had against BYU and will probably be out for the season.

After last week's game it really looked like Nevada had hit their stride and they might actually end up being the team that upsets Boise. Now I'm not so sure.

Notre Dame proved it can run with the big boys.  There is no dishonor in this loss.

Yeah that was a hell of a comeback...I just wish there had been a few more seconds on the clock.

So the Gators decided to show up to play some football in the 4th quarter.

Did you watch the 4th quarter?  Let me just say I think Arkansas got robbed.

Well that and Arkansas has a bad kicker.

Speaking of playing some football, Texas A&M is a 5.5 point favorite against Kansas State and are presently BEHIND 59-0.

Yes Kansas State 59 Texas A&M 0

You can't be serious. If Mike Sherman had any honor at all, he would be commiting ritual Hara-Kiri.
