Week 12 Open

Week 12 is now open.  I will advance the week on Wednesday (10/8 ).

FAU wins a nail bitter vs Southern Miss 35-21 and advance to 8-2, with both Losses to #12 ranked SMU by 3, and #9 Arizona State in a sim. Two games left at Western Kentucky and vs FIU, Let's keep up the pace fellas!

The SMU Mustangs sprinted out to a 28-7 lead and never looked back.

Bla bla bla, write-up write-up write-up, bla bla words bla.

Next up: at USF (2-6)

Game Balls:
QB Neal Burcham — 18/21 for 244 yards, 6 carries for 65 yards, 3 total TDs
HB Kevin Pope — 24 carries for 136 yards, 4 catches for 49 yards, 3 total TDs

In what has to be one of the biggest wins in school history, ASU goes to Autzen and beats ORE. Taylor Kelly had a great game in which he passed for over 400 yards on one of the top defenses in the country. Jalen Strong and Richard Smith both had monster games, with Strong tying the single season TD mark for receivers at ASU, and Kelly tying the single season passing TD mark. We also crossed the 4000 yard passing mark and scored our 50th TD of the season in this game. 

We fully expect to see ORE again in the Pac12 championship and we anticipate it being as exciting a game as this one was. 

Next Up: #11 UCLA
Players of the Game
Offense: Taylor Kelly, QB, 30-41, 444 Yds, 3 TD, 6 Car, 17 Yds
Defense: Kweishi Brown, CB, 8 Tkls

LOL, this write up had me crackin up.  It reminded me of one of the Dan LeBatard opening takes on his show where he's just screaming .. "in my face, more words, words in my face ..." lol

Plus, I've definitely had one of those moments when I go to do a write up and it just feels like bla bla bla, let me get this over with.  lol

Falcons Put The Bulldogs To Sleep

It was built as the MWC Game Of The Year for the regular season as the 9-1 (7-0 MWC) Air Force Falcons hosted the 9-0 (6-0 MWC) #6 Fresno State Bulldogs on Senior Day in Colorado Springs.  The Bulldogs came into the game, not with just MWC championship on their mind, but with a #6 ranking they had hopes of crashing the BCS party.  They would leave the Air Force base disappointed as the Falcons manhandled them in a 35-3 drubbing.

While the offense has been the big talk this year for the Air Force Falcons, it was the defense that came up big early as they stopped the Bulldogs over and over again in the first half as the offense looked to find their stride and overcome an early INT.  With the Falcons nursing a 14-3 lead at the half the offense over-powered the Bulldogs and dominated the LOS as they chewed up yards and the clock on the ground to the tune of 325 yards and 5 rushing TD on the day.

The win clinches the MWC Mountain Division for Air Force and sets up a match up in the MWC Championship game with, you guessed it, Fresno State.  With the win Air Force moves to 10-1 on the season and rises in the polls to #13 in the latest BCS Standings.
