Great game in Philly. The Owls held off the Tigers, 30-28. Memphis fell behind, 13-0, in the first quarter, then turned it over for the third time in the second. All three led to FG's and Temple led, 16-0. Then, UM mounted a comeback, but could never get on top. So, Temple remain unbeaten in the AAC East.
BYU must not be very good this year. The Cougars blew an early 10-0 lead at Raymond James Stadium and lost to mediocre USF, 27-23. Saved Charlie's job again for another week.
This just in: The Huskies are really bad. And, Tulane is pretty good. Final in NOLA: Wave 49, Huskies 7.
The Cats next opponent, Tulsa, have been unable to keep up with Navy's option attack and trail early in the fourth quarter, 35-10. The Hurricane have amassed a grand total of 178 yards thus far. UC should take care of business against Tulsa next Saturday, but need to keep away from the sloppy pre-snap penalties, so that they don't continue to be a problem going forward.Leave a comment:

Weird play earlier in the SMU game where Tulsa kicked deep and the KO returners got confused. No one fielded the ball. Tulsa gunner dove on the ball and rolled into the endzone for a TD.Leave a comment:

Unreal finish in Tulsa-SMU game. Trailing, 30-9, in the 4th quarter, the Mustangs scored three TD's and sent the game to OT. Both teams scored TD's in the 1st OT. Then, SMU fumbled, but Tulsa missed a 42-yard FG, sending it to a third OT. Tulsa missed another 42-yard FG and SMU went for it all on first down. Ruled OB, but reversed on review. Final in 3 OT: SMU 43-37.Leave a comment:

The Tigers held a 39-26 lead with under seven minutes left. ULM scored to cut it to 39-33. Then, the roof collapsed on the War Hawks. On the first play from scrimmage after the ULM TD, the UM RB went 67 yards to score. Then, a Pick 6, followed by a short-field drive to finish it up 52-33.Leave a comment:

If Uconn beats USF today I would expect Charlie Strong to be fired in the morning.Leave a comment:

This is the type of thing that Fickell and Chris Ash pulled with the Summer camp stuff a couple of years ago. It's a loophole in a well meaning bylaw that will get closed now that someone's discovered it. They're going to have to limit the redshirt rule to freshman and injury cases again.Leave a comment:

More on the Cougars taking advantage of the rules. Gotta love the Dana quote "I think the NCAA is a little upset with me right now". The transfer/ free agency in college football is a joke and I admire Dana taking full advantage of the broken system if all redshirting players actually return.

Week 6 - Weird record edition
By weird record I mean ECU and Temple.
ECU's is 3-2 with victories over ODU, Gardner Webb and WIlliam & Mary. I'd call them out for their schedule but I think one of those games was a filler for the VT contract that VT canceled on them after they refused to play in a hurricane last year.
Temple on the other hand has beaten a then ranked Maryland, GT but lost to Buffalo. Games in Greenville tonight so anything goes I guess.
If you'd like to weatch the UCF UConn toilet bowl at 12:00 on Saturday go for it. Someone has to win eventually.Leave a comment:
