Can you believe the Aggies blew it! Where is that awesome Aggies iron
wall. BYU racked up over 500 yards passing and completed a clutch pass
into the endzone with time running out and the Aggies in the lead. And
then the Aggies cough up the ball on the next series.
It was a great opening game (except for the outcome), good football to watch.

UT played a fine game against Mizzou. But they'll have to up it a level
for Colorado, Notre Dame and some of their stronger up and coming
opponents. I'll comment more in the Longhorns item.

Whoa, Texas = slippage. Looks Notre Dame is shaping up as the Longhorns
turning point.

So before any of you start, yes the fumbling I mean fighting irish had a bad night, but they did WIN. Then again Vandy did return 9 starters on defense aand are a much better team than the Longhorns walkovers scheduled for weeks one and two.

Rose
Jan. 1, Pasadena, 2 p.m., ABC

title if Florida State has a lackluster win?

Matchup: Kansas State (9-2, Big 12 No. 2) vs. BYU (13-1/WAC champion)

Note: Middies lost to their biggest rival and wound up with a
trip to Honolulu instead of Shreveport, Louisiana. Big 12 put 2
teams in the alliance and only had 5 total teams eligible for bowls
anyway so they lost their slot in this bowl.
Las Vegas Bowl
Dec. 19, Las Vegas, 6:30 p.m., ESPN
Matchup: Ball State (8-3, Mid-America champion) vs. Nevada (8-3, Big
West champion)

season. Make sure to tune in!
