I fully thought texas would get their's also, it just felt like TCU had the right energy from the beginning. The size difference took its toll in the second half and the horns pulled it back out. Michigan is quickly becoming a joke.

A&M will have a lot more games like this one as the year goes on. They'll blow out La. Monroe this weekend and begin to feel good about themselves, which will come to a screeching halt once the meat of their schedule kicks in. I think they go 7-5 this year.

Game sucked, well the 2nd half did. Should have been 25-0 at half if not ALOT worse. Fresno State didnt even have 100 yards of offense till 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter, what happened after that was a joke. I know everybody will say we need to learn to pass but that is what fucked us up. If we run option the entire game we win going away, but us trying to pass gave Fresno a chance to get back in it, and they did. I mean if they can't stop you running why stop? Hopefully Fran learns this by the time we play some of our tougher games.

No Fran needs to develop a much better passing game its only a matter of time till we play the teams that will know how to stop the j train, Look they already have figured out goodson who's supposed to be a star back in the big 12 this year. We need to work on more vertical routes not the little 3 yard and outs. On the other note he finaly made a great good change but kind of late taking out jordan petterson, that kid blows im sorry he gets burnt every time and looks scared on the field. I think tamu will conted for the big 12 title but we need some work and also need to beat la. monroe into the ground.

Big Ten blows nuts this year, so I am not surprised with the UM and ND games.

Alot of mid-major teams are coming out strong this year. It was just Fresno States' and USF's time this weekend. Atleast we pulled off the win, that game had me worried.

I think Fresno State was keying on him all game, which is why Lane was so good in those 2 back sets, they would be watching Mike and the train would just rumble down the center for 10 yards a pop.
so you think yall will be able to run on Miami even though OU couldn't?

They win games by pounding it inside with Lane and then mixing it up using Goodson and McGee to attack the edges and break the big runs. It's not the power running game of Nebraska in the early/mid 90's, but its got its similarities.
The Aggies are in for a big awakening this season. They won some close games last year and lost a few heartbreakers in the final seconds, but that is all in the past and so far this year all they've proven is they're the same Aggies everybody outside of College Station thinks they are. They'll be VERY fortunate to win 7 games the way they're playing, and Francione will be lucky to have a job come December if they don't change the way they're playing.

I still can't figure out why anybody thought ND would be worth a **** this year. Their defense has always left a bit to be desired and they lost their only 3 offense weapons after last season. They have a great recruiting class and Charlie Weis will whip them into shape in no time, but this season will basically be a wash. It would be nice to see them beat Michigan in the big house for what happened last year in South Bend.
If Michigan loses to ND Lloyd Carr is gone for sure.
