I'm sure you are eating up the "Moths to the flame" comments. Don't tell me your in denial about your pot-stirring MO.

The bottom line is when a team keeps playing close games against average competition, its only a matter of time before they lose one.

It happened to USC this week, it happened to Auburn against Arkansas, and Georgia at Vandy.

IMO its only a matter of time before Texas and UT slip up and lose a close game they are expected to win. UT has always struggled in the past with Arkansas. That game concerns me.

Hadn't given it a thought. I post what's on my mind. I have no control over whether people respond or not.

Texas will waltz through the rest of their schedule.

I certainly think Texas will win that game. But, with the state of Texas' secondary I am not going to say that they will crush any team that is as solid as Texas A&M.

All those of you who are saying the close win over AF does not matter are just making the case for a Big East team to play OhSt in the BCSCG. If winning is all that matters then Boise State is a better team than UT right now.

That is of course if you ignore the rest of the schedule.

I just don't think we can have it both ways volbeef. If AF was making some waves in the Mtn. West things would be different. The cadets did lose to SDSU, which looks really bad BUT (here's the good news) 3-4 AF has beaten some 50-50 winning percentage type teams and they have two very winnable reamaining games: Army 3-6 and UNLV 1-7. AF will probably get schooled by ND. That means the Cadets only have to split on games against 5-4 Utah and 5-2 TCU to become bowl eligible.

They're the Falcons, not the Cadets.

My point was that those kids from the USAFA played a very good game. The best they have played all year and that should not be looked down on. I grew up playing the wish bone and I can tell you they did better than anyone I have ever seen do it. There were no miscuse by them. Now hate before you give me OU, Nebraska I know both had wishbone teams that would crush USAFA. By running the option as well as they did I mean excecution not talent. Thank God they didn't have the talent of the OU teams.

Navy runs the triple option better than Air Force.

I can't see Greg Pruitt, Joe Washington, Billy Sims, Thomas Lott, or Jamelle Holieway playing for Fisher DeBerry.

I'm gald or we would have gotten trounced! But the kids ran that offense to near perfection that night. So I have no problem giving them the credit they deserve.

Ok and your point? What I said and saw was THAT night they ran it as near perfect as I have ever seen it ran. Trust me, I've seen it and played it and played against it. Those kids did a hell of a job that night. unlike you I have no problem giving them credit. SHould we have beaten them by more? Yes!

There's a difference between a close game against Alabama and a close game against one of the twenty worst teams in college football. A good team doesn't find itself in trouble against a team as putrid as Air Force. Find me the last Top 10 team to come that close to losing to such a horrible team.

USC nearly lost to Stanford in 2004 and 2005, I believe.
