XII > 10
It was a matchup that a lot of people were talking about. Two teams from two powerhouse conferences, somehow meeting so early in the season. Many people thought the team from the Big 10 would take it. But, in the end, it was the Big XII team that ruled the day.
Congrats to the Iowa State Cyclones on their huge 23-3 win over Iowa!
Oh, you want me to wax about that game over in Columbus? Sure.
Three points I want to make...
1. Can everyone please stop calling Vince Young a "scramble first" guy? Yes, yes, throwing from nine o'clock isn't the prettiest thing to look at, but you can't sneeze at 18/29 for 270 and two touchdowns.
2. A lot of people are saying the Mr. Tressel gave the game to the Longhorns through the use of two quarterbacks. I would say that the UT defense helped take it more than OSU gave it. When three turnovers only result in nine points, I'd say that's a defense to not take lightly. (Don't believe me? Listen to the NCAA!)
3. In all the years I've been following Texas football, I never thought the words "consensus number two" would be used to describe my team. And now, it scares the bejeezus out of me. Never thought a game against Rice could hold so much risk with so little reward.

Balls I say to that Cyclones victory. Go Hawkeyes!
Damnable Big 10 not showing any chutzpah whatsoever. I can only hope that State shows the Irish what's up this weekend, moreso than those pansies from Ann Arbor.
Charlie Weis! Who would have believed it!
