WAY TO GO BUFFALOES!!!

Well the Cowboys sure buckled early. I hate it when early turnovers ruin an entire game. That was about as exciting as watching paint dry. The Cowboys literally gave up in the first quarter. Plays like, 3rd and 7 and running out of bounds rather than taking the hit for the extra yard. Donovan Woods played like he had the heart of a girl scout. Does that kid ever scramble or is backwards the only direction he knows how to run ? Further, when you're fading back to pass, it's always best to 'look around' and see what is
behind you.
And the play selection after the OSU fumble was horrific. Mack Brownish. Passing in the red zone 1st and goal. My belief is that in college football and the pros for that matter, anytime you're first and goal, especially if you
have to score, you run 4 downs. Keep it on the ground. If you can't make 10 yards or in this case 6, in four running downs, then you deserve to get beat like a drum.
I was worried about the OSU game since I thought they would want to make a statement after what's gone on the past couple of days but I sure didn't think the Cowboys would play like they were retarded. Donovan Woods is just...not ready for prime time. Granted, he's a freshman but his fundamentals suck the bag.
As far as Colorado I initially picked UTEP in my CNNSI pick 'em but changed it because on second thought I considered where UTEP plays and where CU plays. Plus I think Barnett is a hell of a coach and the game was for CU, like OSU, a statement game after a season of controversy. Plus you have that badass kicker. That kid is awesome. End of story.
The punter for UTEP had some game too. 75 yard punt ? Sheesh....
Ahhh well, I'm officially a Donovan Woods hater. He's a heartless gutless bag of mediocrity. He and his brother flashing their 'signs'. I'd have pulled his ass.
