    Week 6 Thread

    I know that Geno kid is great, but I don't think West Virginia can beat :texas:. (Longhorn fans apparently feel otherwise, as tickets are already down to face value online.)

    But if WVa could barely overcome Baylor's D at home, I think they're going to have a really rough time against a much, much faster Texas secondary. Here's hoping that WVa can at least beat up on them, though, so that the Sooners can take down the undefeated Longhorns next week.

      I think Texas will blow them out. WV never wins the big games.

        Sarcasm? They're 3-0 in BCS games.

          You're just mad because they beat Oklahoma in one of those. And another was against the ACC. Hell, Utah is 2-0 in BCS games.

          I'm thinking of 2007 when they lost to Pitt and screwed themselves out of a shot for a NC.

          So, maybe I shouldn't say "never" wins big games. Maybe it's just in my mind that WV is a paper-tiger. But I still think TX rolls them. Esp. in Austin.

            No, I was just confused. I'm not familiar with WVa football outside of the post-season.

                    Just heard Nick Saban's comments regarding the "unfairness" of the no-huddle. Is he serious? Maybe he is already sandbagging against having to play Oregon in the NC.

                      Ask me in 4 weeks. Right now I'd say yes, except against Alabama.

                      ASU and SC back to back road games will answer that question.

                      Next?

                        Orange D playing good but offense stalling consistently. This game is like déjà vu. Apparently there was even a strip and run td by the cuse offense early in the game.

                              I read Oregon, not Orange and had a mini-panic attack that I had just slept through the Duck/Husky game.
