    In a barnburner. Lots of offense and ineptitude.

    Tex Tech 28 Houston 23

    Houston just makes a goal line stand and is driving.

    Great plays everywhere.

    Mid 4th quarter

    Does no one on this phucking Earth understand clock management?

    On first and goal the Houston Cougars immediately ran a play inside the 10 with just about a minute to go. Versus running the clock down to 30 seconds and then running the play.

    Texas Tech of all teams, is being given 50 seconds vs just 20 seconds to kick a game winning FG.

    I know that Houston head coach has got to be smarter than that. But you'd have a hard time convincing me otherwise.

    Leach wasn't smart enough to make the score an 8 point differential with a kick. Dumb.

    I certainly didn't understand that either.

    He lives by the seat of his pants, it seems.

    I when I tuned into the game, it looked like it was obvious that Texas Tech had won, so I didn't watch it.

    What happened?

    I'm reading the headlines and I see that #17 Houston actually beat Texas Tech by 1 point. Wow. This QB for Houston, Case Keenum, is tearing it up. He should be one of the front-runners for the Heisman at this point. He threw for 38 of 58 (65.5%), 435 yards yesterday. Compare to Colt McCoy's performance against the same team: 205 yards, 2 INT.

    For the season, Case Keenum is 93 of 134 (69.4%), 386.7 yards/game (#3 in the NCAA, only behind the QBs for Texas Tech and Hawaii). So far this year, he has led his team to victories over both No. 5 Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. Houston is ranked for the first time in 18 years.

    Regarding yesterday's game, the article says:

    Case Keenum finished off a 95-yard touchdown drive with a 4-yard quarterback keeper with 49 seconds left to give the 17th-ranked Cougars a 29-28 win over Texas Tech on Saturday night. ... The Cougars trailed 21-10 in the first half ... Keenum passed for 435 yards and kept the game-winning drive going with a 7-yard pass to Patrick Edwards on fourth-and-3. “If you don’t look forward to that and have excitement then you’re not alive, you’re not human,” Keenum said. “It’s a lot of fun and I’d like to do this every week.” ... He spread the ball well with four receivers catching at least seven passes. Charles Sims led with 10 receptions for 122 yards and Tyron Carrier had eight for 99 yards. ... It was his school-record 19th straight game with a touchdown throw, surpassing Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware.
