speaking of which... can we start talking Colt McCoy as a heisman candidate?

[AYHJA]

When we beat Oklahoma, he will be the front runner...We MUST beat Oklahoma...

But I mean, honestly...

80.0% Pass Completion Rate (80/100)
1,010 yards
10.2 YPC
254.5 YPG
14 Touchdows
1 Interception

278 Yards Rushing
8.2 YPC
69.5 YPG
4 TDS

By any standard that kicks ass, and deserves Heisman talk at the least...Plus, he's only a Jr...If Texas beats Oklahoma and goes to the Big 12 Championship, you have to start thinking this is another national championship year...The running game is coming around, and too, it's not like they are forcing Colt to run it...He's just running the offense...

[Skinny Bastard]

exactly.....

[Skinny Bastard]

Geez, anyone watching this?

Half time, USC 0 Oregon State 21!!!!......and OS gets the ball to start the second half.

Very sweet Beaver.....................so far!

Can't wait to see my runnin' Utes get after the Beaver this week....

...Can't wait to see my runnin' Utes get after the Beaver this week....

Utes Dam Up Beavers, 31-28

Utes overcome two-score gap in less than a minute-and-a-half to knock off Oregon State

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Louie Sakoda kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired to cap an 11-point rally over the final 89 seconds and give No. 15 Utah a 31-28 victory over Oregon State on Thursday night.

The Utes (6-0) tied the game 28-28 on a 25-yard touchdown pass and 2-point conversion by Brian Johnson with 1:29 remaining. Utah's defense held the Beavers (2-3) on a three-and-out and the Utes got the ball back 23 seconds later to set up the final drive and Sakoda's game-winner.

Utah got the ball back at its own 45 with 1:06 left, and Johnson moved the Utes to Oregon State's 24 where the Utes called a timeout with 2 seconds left. Sakoda kicked his third field goal of the game and the Utes' hopes for a Bowl Championship Series berth were still alive--barely.

The win gave the Mountain West Conference a 6-1 record against the Pac-10 this season.

...so... what the hell is wrong with the pac-10 this year? oh...and..... GO UTES!

[Skinny Bastard]

....and after No. 5 Texas rolled over Colorado, the game to watch this week will be the matchup of unbeatens when UT faces top-ranked Oklahoma in Dallas.

[trashtalkr]

Yeah, that is going to be an awesome game. I can't wait to watch it play out. UT has a slight edge in my opinion, but Bradford can completely change the game for Oklahoma

[AYHJA]

This game is exactly what it implies...Colt vs Sam...Colt has the advanatage...He is no less accurate...But more mobile...He will react to pressure differently than Sam...If Texas' front four can get in his face, he will not do well...OU will look bad...Sam has -23 yards rushing on the year...2 of Texas' linemen benchpress 500 lbs or more...Hmm...

[Skinny Bastard]

...but to play devils advocate... (and with you knowing I am behind UT 100%)... there is a reason OU is ranked 1....

...but maybe after this game... that will all change....

[AYHJA]

Isn't that reason so that they can choke like they've done for the past, what...6 years or so..? :p

I LIKE when OU is ranked high...
