Numb3rs


The numbers say it all. 520 yards passing. Sacks allowed 0. 5 TD passes. 10 receivers with receptions. Final score 48-41 Cats!
Next up for the Cats are the stumbling Gophers who fell to 1-5 after being routed by the surprisingly decent Hoosiers. The Cats should show up at Dyche re-charged, re-confident, and put a horrible pasting on the Gophers.
In other amazing action. The recruiting fairy has smiled on Champaign and the Illini are looking good, beating ranked teams on consecutive weekends. Yes, Wiscy was the most over-rated #5 of all time, but still. If Juice the melon-headed can learn how to throw the ball, the Illini could be amazing. But watch out for big let-downs. Next up is this year's conference patsy, Iowa. Illinois needs to at least show up and play.
Jim Harbaugh pulled off a big one, shocking USC 24-23. Even more shocking, The Cardinal did this with a rookie QB after the starter choked on a Big Mac. Not shocking at all, were the moronic platitudes that Pete Carroll vomited up after the game. Let's face it Pete, your team is not playing well.
And the most amazing action of all. The Fighting Irish scored points AND won a game. Now some nitpickers might claim that the UCLAns lost the game, as opposed to the Irish winning. Why would they say that? Lessee....the UCLA starting QB was knocked out of the game in the first quarter, forcing UCLA to play an un-tested freshman. Who proceeded to throw 4 picks and lose a fumble. ND's offensive contribution? A 4-yard TD drive after an interception. So amazing yes, and it'll be back to the loss column next week for the Irish.
