They are 4-0 and should go 5-0 after beating Memphis. This just came in from Brett McMurphy of ESPN

Looks like they've already moved on from him. He's only thrown 21% of their attempts this year and the injury came in early September.

Ok, I recognized the name so I assume he was the starter.

Why does everyone but BYU seem to have back-up QBs ready to go?

Yes. Last year was even worse. We had starter Riley for 1.5 games then 50% Riley and totally inexperienced Hall, Lark, and Munns as backups and no starters ready to go.

Because when a game is essentially over, they put their back ups in and let them run the same offense to get experience. I have absolutely no data to back this up.

That sure seems like a plan that would work.

BYU ought to try it.

One thing that has changed since the good ole days is the loss of the farm system.

I think I will create a thread on that topic.

Houston's in a barn burner with the mighty Memphis Tigers...

Houston leads it 18-15 with a minute left in the third. I'm not afraid of Houston.

They haven't played anybody of course, but they have a nice record.

This will be a big game for them. Win and they could get into the top25. Realtimerpi .com today had them favored by 3. We'll see what it says tomorrow. I expect Vegas to make us the favorite.

It says the game will be on ESPNnews. Is that channel 209 on Directv? Is that a crappy channel? I guess I should not care too much. I will be on the road during the game but will be home for the KBYU replay.

I expect BYU to win this game by 3+ touchdowns. Curious to see where the Vegas line will put BYU (maybe -7.5?).

And I got my hopes up for an ESPN or ESPN2 game. Nope. Relegated to ESPNews. Once again scrambling to find a way to watch the game. Oh well...

This is not a home game so I assume this is all driven by the fka Big East nka AAC contract. Maybe. Maybe not.
