Eric Thomason addresses the weekly college football world through a series of quick, short, comical puns he likes to call word play.

College Football week of 10/03/08

Achilles Heel:

Florida fans must have been holding their breath when Percy Harvin left the Arkansas game holding the same heel he had surgery on in the off season. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, "Percy Harvin determines where this offense goes, not Tim Tebow." Without Harvin in the game, the team struggled.

Florida didn’t bounce back as well as I thought they would against the Razorbacks, as the Gators only held a 17-7 lead after three quarters.

Arkansas scores going into the fourth quarter this season:

Western Illinois 17         Arkansas 14

Louisiana-Monroe 24      Arkansas 14

Alabama           42         Arkansas  7

Texas               45        Arkansas  3

Still not skeptical about Urban Meyer’s team?

    Thanks for the break down. I'll be sure to print the Eric Thomason Road Map of College Football Week 6 out and brush up on my week's info for this Saturday. Glad to hear Texas Tech won your praise. The Big XII is looking so good this year I can't wait for the Bowl Matchups.

    Good article. We will get to see this weekend how good Mizzou's defense is. I think people may be surprised.

    x-factor You could add Derick Washington to that list.

    Oh wow...someone acknowledges 58-28 is a good score.

    Noone seems to notice that. Underhyped is so right.

      I admit I had doubts about this team and still do just because of the strength of the conference, but Tech certainly got my attention winning like that. Playing in Lubbock will be as tough as any place in the country this year.

      Tech is under-hyped??? Tech will and should win every game until November 1st. Then they will get a big dose of reality when Texas plows through LBK.

      I hope everyone realizes that Texas has been winning all these games with so much ease, and we have yet to play our best RB for more than 12 plays....

      hahaha, ya'll don't even know what's coming...

    MAN I think we're all aware that UT is a superior football team and program, but you can never underestimate an opponent that has such an explosive offense. The Longhorns are one of the best teams in the nation, but the Raiders have proven themselves 6 weeks in a row, and the mentality and momentum that gives a team is dangerous. All this article is saying is OU, Texas, and Missouri are hunting for a championship, but right now the Cowboys and the Raiders should be feared. OU has lost perfect seasons to the Cowboys, not to mention they slept during the Buffs game last year, and UT has allowed its upsets. Cowboys and Raiders fans best of luck you all definitely make for exciting football.

    You know the problem with the big 12 is that they're going to beat each other up. but whoever emerges on top should end up in the BCS championship game.
    Prediction: UT 26 OU 21
