So, about this whole Geno Smith thing…does anybody have any questions? Anybody? No, didn’t think so. Not after what Geno did to Texas on Saturday. Make no mistake, the Longhorns defense is no joke. Granted, I wouldn’t put them up there with the Alabama’s or the LSU’s of the world, but with four players currently projected as first or second round picks, they certainly have enough talent to present a formidable challenge. Not only did Geno decimate that challenge, he did so at DKR Memorial Stadium, an always difficult and hostile environment. So yeah, this guy is good and there’s almost no chance Matt Barkley or any other clown catches up to him in this race. But while the drama is sapped from one half of the race, the drama in the other half is just starting to heat up. In fact, you could argue that the drama will only intensify now that Geno has clearly established himself as an elite prospect. Teams that were previously on the fence about tanking their seasons now have ample moti...

West Virginia finished its Big 12 entrance with a road win over Texas that wasn’t quite as close as the 48-45 final would...

No. 5 West Virginia, Smith to test TTech's defense
Dana Holgerson won't be nostalgic Saturday when he brings his No. 5 Mountaineers to Texas Tech, where he and Mike Leach drove opponents batty with their dizzying pass-heavy offense.
''All those feelings and emotions have gone away a long time ago,'' the Mountaineers second-year coach said of his eight years in Lubbock. ''I'm not going to think twice...

Week six of the college football season proved to be a separation Saturday for many of the top teams as FSU, Georgia, LSU and Texas all fell from the ranks of the unbeaten. Our Heisman front-runner, Geno Smith, had another great performance this weekend as his Mountaineers toppled the Longhorns. Would he be able to separate even more from his competitors?

So lets recap real quick, LSU, FSU and Georgia all have two things in common, the first being that they were all upset ( while I may still argue a 5 losing to a 6 isn’t really an upset but it is what it is) and secondly I called them all. Could have made myself a nice little chunk of change parlaying the three money lines, but that is neither here nor there. I got a little...
