You're kidding right? Tennessee decided not to go Mike Leach on them in the 4th quarter or it could have been 56-3. It's a tough place to play, but a good team would have at least competed.

Still, the HUGE black-eye of the day was the defending big 12 north champs going down to a freaking 1-AA squad.

Not really. The north has been a joke for years now. It hasn't been competitive since CU and NU duked it out in '01. eek

Dude - they're fucking overrated. They're ranked #2 and barely beat an unranked team with a terrible offensive unit (the same team that was blown out by freaking Utah last year). They haven't won a bowl game in TWELVE years.

Put down the kool-aid. :rolleyes:
They, unlike Cal, went into a tough place to play their first game and came out with a the "W". That's all that counts. They will only get better. Did you see that defense in the 2nd half? [ThumbsUp] It won't be long before they start clicking on offense too. Do I think they're over-rated? God yes! But I look at that schedule and can see them going into the USC game undefeated. If you can't see that, you must really had ND then and need to put something down as well.

BTW, NOBODY is the same team from one year to the next in college football.
