The Longhorns and Sooners have represented the Big XII South in the conference championship nine years in a row.  

The "Chase Daniel Show" was in full effect on Saturday night in Lincoln, but how well the defense played was what really impressed me more.

However, the Oklahoma State defense impressed much more, causing five turnovers and three three-and-outs in the first half alone.

And in a game against Missouri where the team with the ball last will most likely be victorious, it must be nice for Cowboy fans to know their defense has the better chance of preventing that game winning drive. 

Throw Florida vs. LSU into the mix, and college football’s “in-season playoff system” officially gets under way next week.

 

Mangino Madness

Iowa State’s defensive line dominated the first 30 minutes, forcing three Kansas turnovers and Chizik’s team went into halftime up 20-0.

With 1:46 left to play in the third quarter the Jayhawks had regained the lead 21-20 and were on their way to the third biggest comeback in school history.

Mangino gambled a couple times on fourth down to keep drives alive, however sources say it might have been because the coach was just too lazy to walk to the other end of the sideline to call the punting team onto the field.

Either way it worked, right?
