I'm watching TCU vs. UCF and TCU is handing it to them. UCF getting gashed by the receivers and short ball control passes in the 3-3-5. UCF cannot stop anything

Premature post! UCF comes storming back and wins it. It was 28-7 TCU at the half. TCU missed a FG wide right as time expired.

Kansas (1-2) is apparently broken or UNLV is a lot better than people expected as they're now 3-0.

WVU managed to make the same mistake UC did against Pitt and let them come all the way back after a big lead . Pitt was down 10 pts with 4:55 to play. The knives are out for Neal Brown after that collapse.

Colorado managed to acquire 4 Unsportsmanlike penalties on the same play after a Travis Hunter interception. Not even sure what happened there.

Utah, who is currently the highest ranked Big XII team, will start a first time starter at QB against Utah St today. Cam Rising, of the 8th year senior Cam Risings, injured a hand against Baylor last week. There was some rumor that he was already applying for a 9th year but that was probably satire.

Tonight's Arizona St at Texas St matchup is going to be sneaky good. I think this might be the first time a a P(anything) team has visited San Marcos. Texas St. fans showed out at SMU last year and sold out SMU's stadium for them.

BYU went into Dallas and eked out an 18-15 Ugly Bowl win over SMU. The Mustangs have been less than stellar early in the season.

Week 2. Here's your scoreboard starting with one on Friday that might be sneaky good in BYU at SMU. There's a couple of conference games (?) on the docket but all in most of the BIg XII has decent non conference opposition this week. I'm trying to figure out if the Baylor at Utah was scheduled before Utah joined the conference. Anybody?

If you're looking for a conference game to watch tonight. TCU is out west at Stanford at ....checks notes.. 10:30pm. Despite this being FBS on FBS, TCU should walk away with this one.

I was wrong on TCU although they won. .. And Houston pretty much got stomped by UNLV who hasn't been good in a long while in football. Houston was picked to finish last in the conference but to be honest I did not expect them to lose this game at home.

I don't think too many B12 defenses are going to let a receiver split a two-deep with neither safety picking him up. That 69-yard TD was avoidable.

I want to make a Big 12 defenses vs Air Raid offense joke here and it's not coming to me..
