Didn't see anything yet...

Let's see... Oklahoma down 7 against Kansas, currently in a weather delay.
FSU beating up on Wake Forest 24-7 and going for more in a moment.
Indiana tied with Penn State
West Virginia and UCF in a close one

And all of these games are in the 2nd quarter or at halftime. Good watching for the fans of the game.

Kansas State ............ 28

Houston ................... 0

Halftime

Holgorsen has been the head coach of a fairly major football program for 13 straight seasons now. IIRC, the only time he won or co-won a conference, and the only time he took a team to an NY6 bowl game both happened in year one of that run, in 2011 at WV.

I mean, he has done some things right - he's had 9 winning seasons to only 3 losing seasons, and he has 26 more career wins than losses. Lots of coaches have done a lot worse. But averaging a 7-5 season is not what I think either WV or Houston had in mind when they hired him. And yet here is, in year 13.

Bill Stewart got screwed over not getting to coach that 2011 team. He went 28-12 as WVU HC too.

UMass is finally healthy again, fully (basically) for the first time since playing Auburn.

Currently up 21-7 over Army and just got an interception in the end zone most of the way through the 3rd.

Army has collapsed into a real bad football team.

Air Force might get ugly, and they might even lose to Navy.

KU was up 14-0, but last I saw down 21-14. Almost halftime.

Oklahoma ..... 21

Kansas .......... 17

Almost Half

I mean both us and Army lost by basically the same score to the same level of team in our last games.

63-0 for us against Penn State
62-0 for them against LSU

Did they collapse any worse than we did? Like I said, I think the score today is due to us finally having our starters back at full health in addition to the opponent we're playing. Based on how the NMSU game went, this is how this game should be going. It's how other games (say, New Mexico) could have gone without the injuries, but didn't.

Well Army put in a new QB and scored immediately. We weren't ready for the change.

Just need to finish this out to get the win...5 minutes left and up a TD.

7 game losing streak is over. 2 road FBS wins for UMass.

Congrats UMass.

Holgorsen has a job as long as Fertitta wants him to have a job. He did his job keeping the football team relevant-enough to get into the Big 12. Now? Perhaps today, perhaps next month, perhaps in a few years...Fertitta will want to start winning big in the Big 12, and he'll go after Deion or perhaps a high powered SEC coach. But it's important to realize that all 4 of the new Big 12 schools are taking their lumps this year. Last time I checked, they were something like 1-12 against the left behind 8.

Maybe Army can get Navy's AD to fire the Army coach in the locker room after their little dustup in December.

A&M up 30-17 over USC, 5:30 to go.

I am not sure Holgorsen did anything to help Houston get in the nB12. His Cougars teams were 19-15 before the nB12 bid came, a bid that came imo purely because TX and OU announced they were leaving. They were the one team i think was invited for market, geography and cultural history.

Sure, all the new nB12 teams are struggling, i enjoyed watching UCF get smacked by WV today. But i am not sure this was inevitable, i imagine that last year and in prior years many loudmouth Cincy, UCF and Houston fans would likely have said they were fit and ready to beat the likes of WV, Kansas State, Baylor and the other leftbehinds. I think the sobering results show that the AAC wasn't as good as their fans think it was

Overall, DH was 27-20 in the AAC, not impressive imo.

That said, I agree he has a job as long as Fertitta wants him to.

Looks like Oklahoma will survive, interception with 2:30 to go up one point. KU does have all three timeouts though

And I may have to eat those words. Oops.

KU did well with the timeouts and keeping OU from another first down, got a touchback on the punt, and then went down the field with a huge 4th down conversion. 2 point attempt didn't work but KU up 5 with :55 left

I like when games such as Oklahoma/Kansas have a parade of missed 2-pt conversions giving us a wacky score.

Oklahoma with opportunities to score but couldn't get it done. KU wins 38-33

thinking about it, probably very true.
