The last college football game of the season was played in Mobile, Alabama on Saturday. College football’s stars took to the field one final time in the Senior Bowl as the South’s Tim Tebow (Florida) aimed to silence his critics who claim that he does not have what it takes to succeed in the NFL. Unfortunately for Tebow and the South, the North squad came out of the gates swinging early and never looked back, winning 31-13. Tebow started the game for...
Houston tried to mount a comeback but fell short 37-32 against UCF. Houston boasts one of the most prolific offenses in the nation. The team had a strong start of the season by upsetting Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. However, an unexplainable lose to UTEP and now UCF has taken Houston and Keenum out of the national spotlight. Case Keenum’s Heisman hopes have also dissipated but still had solid numbers throwing for 377 yards and 3 TDS. Prior to...
Say what you want about Conference -USA, but the Houston Cougars are kicking some tail and taking names. The Cougars beat Texas Tech 29-28 in a late-night thriller yesterday in Houston. Case Keenum led Houston to a 4th quarter surge that was enough to secure the victory. Head Coach Kevin Sumlin is in his second year as coach but he’s compiled a very impressive resume so far, not including yesterday’s win vs. Texas Tech, and a Sept. 26th road...
It’s comforting to see a school not prematurely throw back injured athletes onto the field for the sake of winning. Much to the dismay of the Cowboys faithful, Oklahoma State’s Dez Bryant will be held out of today’s game against Grambling State. The top WR in the nation is still nursing a tweaked hamstring and the school believes the best course of action would be to rest Bryant until he is fully recovered (Pete Carroll, please take notes). The...
In addition to losing at home to unranked Houston, the Oklahoma State Cowboys may have lost starting RB Kendall Hunter for this week’s upcoming game against Rice. Hunter left Saturday’s game in the second quarter after suffering an apparent right leg injury and didn’t return to action for the rest of the night. Before the injury, Hunter rushed for 36 yards and a touchdown on 9 carries. Oklahoma State hasn’t released the exact type of injury suffered by Hunter...
Not only was Oklahoma State’s undefeated season taken away on Saturday, but so were items from the Cowboys’ locker room. As the facts are coming in, The Matador learned that apparently three, let’s hope drunk, college football fans entered the team’s locker room unnoticed. During their five-finger discount shopping spree, the perpetrators stole, among other things, Anthony Morgan‘s helmet, Zac Robinson‘s wrist band and mouth guard, and the mouth guard and gloves of Dez Bryant.
The mantra “Greed is Good” does not apply to Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder. Apparently, Jerry Jones was pushing for the Oklahoma State v. Georgia match-up to be played at the new Cowboy Stadium. Holder turned it down along with an additional $6 million. In commenting, Holder wanted his team to have a true home field advantage and opted to play the high profile game at Stillwater. He did it for the team, the fans, and for the...
