Holy Cowboys! I’m Sinking, I’m in a Cyclone & I Can’t Get Out!

Wally’s Collegiate Corner

Flotation Devices continue to be in use!!!!!! Wally is slightly under .500 and seems to be sinking!

This week I will point my compass to Ames, Iowa and talk a little about the Iowa State Cyclones (5-4) and the Oklahoma State Cowboys (10-0), one of only 3 undefeated teams left. If OSU wins this game, they will clinch their 2nd 11 win season in OSU history, and earn their first share of the conference crown since 1976. QB Brandon Weedon leads a very talented offense, which is ranked 2nd in scoring @ 51.7 pts. per game, and is ranked 2nd nationally with over 3,635 passing yards, with 31 touchdown passes.

The Cyclones are coming off two consecutive Big 12 wins, with redshirt QB Jarrell Barrett playing very well. He has thrown for over 319 yards, and has run for 217 yards in the last two games and is becoming a duel offensive threat. His two running backs, James White and Duran “Duck” Hollis are also running very well for the team, I think this game will come down to the strength of the Cowboys offense, against the defense of the Cyclones. The Cowboys will remain undefeated this week.

This week is a very big week for the UCONN Huskies, the Huskies (4-5 and 2-2 in Big East play), play host to the Louisville Cardinals (5-5 and 3-2 in Big East play). This promises to be their biggest game of season; it will define the direction of team with only 3 games left and maybe they can secure a bowl bid. The Cardinals have a very good freshman QB in Terry Bridgewater, who can be a duel threat to run, but is really a pocket QB. If the Huskies can contain their QB, I think this will decide the game. The UNCONN defense has been doing a very good job against the run and the bye week has given them time to heal and get refreshed to focus on the big picture, a bowl bid, UCONN by 3.

It appears that Pretty Girl has run off to get herself some jewelry to wear. I wonder if she’ll choose Iowa State or Oklahoma State?
