Jump on the Texas band wagon! Next stop…Oklahoma State!

October 19, 2008

I dont think anyone was expecting the pounding that Missouri took today. I ordered pizza at 7-0 and by the time it got there (30 min later) it was already 35-0 Texas. College football fans are leaving their teams all across America to join the Texas Bandwagon group. I would like you to know that they are not currently accepting BYU fans, it just wouldnt be right. Colt Mccoy went 29-32 (better than 90%) passing. For all of you who said their defense was overrated, I hope you were watching the game, because they only allowed 3 points in the first half against a team who is always scoring. The game tonight never materialized with Mccoy at the reigns. He just took over the first half and by halftime we were wondering if they were going to invent some mercy rule. They really should after seeing some of the games this weekend. Tulsa put up 77 tonight against UTEP which is 25 more than Texas was able to score. They also put more up than Texas against Rice putting 63 points on them. The only question I see with Tulsa is their schedule strength. They could run the table which would be very interesting to see how far they make it up the poll. So far they havent even reached Top 25 status although I am pretty sure that all changes this week. How do you argue with stats like these:

Completions: 29
Attempts: 32
Yards: 337
Completion Percentage: 90.6 %
Longest: 38
Touchdowns: 2
Interceptions: 0
Passer Rating: 199.71
Rushing Attempts: 11
Rushing Yards: 23
Average: 2.1
Longest: 9
Touchdowns: 2

All of this against the #11 team in the nation who was, until last week, considered to be the best of the Big 12 and the country. I can only imagine what it would have been like if Missouri had won last week. I am however, glad that they were able to get two solid wins against two major teams in a row. I am interested in seeing what the injuries are after this game, because I kept noticing Longhorn players heading over to the sideline. I hope to see you next week when the Longhorns take on the #8 team in the nation in Oklahoma State (the team that took out Missouri last week).
