NCAA Football is back!


This first week of college football was magical. Everything from upsets to injurys have helped flip this season's expectations upside-down, and its only been one week. I was thrilled to see Boise State and BYU beat two ranked BSC teams, one of which was ranked in the top 3 with a heisman trophy winner as QB. Plus, Navy was a 2 pt coverstion away from taking THE Ohio State, ranked 6th, into overtime. I am a firm believer that the way the BCS is set up is a complete joke and needs to be changed. I understand that 9 times out of 10 Oklahoma would probably beat BYU but there is always that one time. And, to be quite honest BYU straight up outplayed OU. BYU had over 350 total yards while OU managed only 260 against the cougar defense. Its also notable that the only TD scored by OU was set up by a dropped punt return by BYU therefore giving Oklahoma the ball on BYU's 30 yard line. Now, you would think that after every anaylist in the nation refused to give BYU a chance this weekend people would suck up their pride and admit that BYU played a GREAT game. But no, all we hear about is Bradford's injury and how OU therefore wasnt full strength......pathetic! Sure Bradford was gone, but last time i checked Sam Bradford doesnt play defense! It was OU's defense that allowed Max Hall and the cougar's to march 78 yards in the last 6 minutes of the game to score the winning touchdown. What, Oklahoma's "supreme" juggernaut defense couldnt stop measly BYU??? I dont understand, I thought non-BSC teams dont even deserve to be in the same conversation as the Oklahomas and Floridas. The fact is, BYU outplayed Oklahoma and deserved to win that game. Maybe people will finally realize that just because someone is better on paper doesnt mean they'll win the game. GO BYU.

  1. they also dont mention that it is the job of the byu defense to hurt and take bradford out of the game. thats what you are supposed to do, thats your job...break and take out the QB. and they did! it wasnt a freak accident that his shoulder got messed up. its part of the defensive strategy. Byu was stellar on both ends of the feild.
