I watched every snap of the K-State vs OU game... K-State is a very good, physical team, but if OU doesn't play like they're in week 1 (so many pathetic misplays, unforced fumbles, etc), OU wins. Then again, we've seen enough of these sort of let downs from OU the last couple years that we can just refer to this as a Landry.

It won't surprise me if K-State wins the conference at this point.

While that play was hilarious to see, and a microcosm of OU's current offensive woes, I couldn't believe the announcers were rambling on and on about how it was a fumble. I knew it would be overturned. It was, and the announcers were shocked.

Yep, it's clearly an incomplete pass. Same idea as the touch pass end around that we do. That's the beauty of that play, it's a pass; not a lot of risk.

That's the play they ran, actually. Texas used the same play for a 60+ yard touchdown against New Mexico... This is what it looks like when it's run incompetently. He was supposed to hit Finch, but the snap was too late, so he threw it at Finch's back.

Hell yes you should've. I was screaming like crazy for Auburn. Can't stand LSU.

They played dirty in this game. Had three different plays went our way we would have won.

1) Muffed punt
2) Missed TD at the beginning of the game that should have been an easy catch
3) McCalleb needed a quarter of a step more on the play someone got a finger on his jersey

Did Auburn play up? Is LSU as good as the hype? Do you think anyone else in the SEC will knock them off?

I'm going to go ballistic if we have another Bama vs LSU mnc.

I like how Stanford had a bye week, WVU wins, yet Stanford jumps us in the AP poll. wat?

Played down to Maryland... Texas fans, at least, are seeing it as a sign of weakness, and there's a lot more optimism about playing WVU than there was last week. I don't necessarily agree, but I understand it.

We did play down a bit, but this is a big rivalry game, aka Maryland's superbowl. They give 200% effort against us. If they played that hard every game, they wouldn't be half bad.

In the postgame, I heard one of our coaches say Maryland ran an offense unlike what we saw on tape. All in all, our defense adjusted pretty good. The offense was down, Geno's timing and the routes being run were a hair off. We got used to having that power run game, as well, and Alston didn't play.

Bring on Baylor. It's homecoming week, our 1st B12 game, and our 1st ranked opponent. Can't wait.

Auburn played up big time. It's like lights clicked on for almost everyone on defense at the end of the first quarter all at the same time. I haven't seen Auburn play defense like that since Tuberville left. If we can maintain that type of play on the defensive side we will be scary by the end of the year. Hell, we would be 3-1 if we had that kind of play earlier in the season.

Offense made strides but still subpar. I'm confident the light will eventually come on for Keihl and he'll just go beastmode one game. Hope it's vs Arkansas, and that is believable since their defense is atrocious.

LSU is very good, maybe even better on defense than they were last year. Bama vs LSU will be close but it is in Death Valley this year. LSU's offense is very run heavy and Auburn was able to stop it for the most part. We matched up well against LSU and I had a feeling our game would be much closer than everyone thought, even though their offense had scored 9073250735 points in the first three games. Our defense just has fits against the spread.
