SWC Review For Games the Week of 10/3
--------------------------------------
Gary 'Goober' Smith and Jay Boisseau.

Sorry we're a little late again this week, but Goober had a baby (congrats!)
and Jay had a pain in the ass week. So all you get is this skimpy, late
review. At least the preview is good, and is coming up next...


                Conference      Overall
                  W  L  T       W  L  T
Texas A&M:        1  0  0       5  0  0
Texas:            1  0  0       2  2  0
SMU:              1  1  0       3  2  0
Baylor:           1  1  0       2  3  0
Texas Tech:       1  1  0       2  3  0
Houston:          0  0  0       2  2  0
TCU:              0  1  0       1  2  1
Rice:             0  1  0       1  3  0


SMU at BAYLOR
-------------

Final Score:        Baylor 49, SMU 7
Predictions: Goober Baylor 24, SMU 17
             Jay    Baylor 31, SMU 14 (sorry, no Cotton for SMU)

Well, this should shut up the Pony-woofers. SMU is _not_ for real, OK?
Granted. SMU had seven starters and five backups on the bench serving
a one-game suspension, but the lost by FORTY-TWO POINTS to a team that
does not deserve to be ranked. Case closed.


SW LOUISIANA at HOUSTON
------------------------

Final Score:        Houston 63, SW La. 7
Predictions: Goober Houston 35, SW La. 17
             Jay    Houston 35, SW La. 20

Jimmy Klingler threw 5 TD passes, three in the 49 point first half.
(See, Houston doesn't try to run up the score--they only scored 14 points
in the second half. Of course, one TD toss was by Klingler with 3 minutes
left... ;-) ) The Coogs "made up" the points they surrendered to Michigan
last week (at least that's the way Jenkins probably looks at it).


TEXAS at RICE
-------------

Final Score:        Texas 23, Rice 21
Predictions: Goober Rice 24, Texas 21  (it'll probably be a blowout the 
                                        other way now that I've picked Rice)
             Jay    Texas 27, Rice 24  (Thanks, Goober! ;-) )

The 'Horns took control early, led at the half 16-0. Then, they went to
sleep... and Rice score 2 TDs to cut it to 16-14. Texas then marched to
another TD, but had to hold off a strong Rice charge at the end. Trevor
Cobb CAUGHT a long bomb TD in this one--he had a big game, when his passing
yards were added to his rushing yards. The Owls just missed recoevering
an onside kick near the end that would have given them a chance to win,
allowing UT to escape one more time.


TEXAS TECH at TEXAS A&M
-----------------------

Final Score:        A&M 19, Tech 17
Predictions: Goober A&M 31, Tech 21
             Jay    A&M 24, Tech 14

Texas Tech rallied from a 10-0 deficit to take the lead at 14-10. The
Aggies then moutnted a bruising drive to retake the lead at 16-14
(extra point missed). Tech responded with its own time-consuming drive
(~8 minutes to recapture the lead 17-16, but they left a little too
much time on the clock. A&M ran the ball right at the Red Raiders,
moving to the 1 yard line, and setting up the game-winning FG as time
expired. Big play on the drive--Granger shook off a sure tackle on
3rd and 10, and then found the TE Schorp for a 1st down. If he went
down, and A&M would have been faced with 4 and about 20, and Granger
can't throw the ball that far w/o bouncing it off the turf.


OKLAHOMA STATE at TCU
---------------------

Final Score         TCU 13, OSU 11
Predictions: Goober Okie State 27, TCU 14  (Teresa Barley Merklin assured me
                                            that the Aggies win)
             Jay    TCU 24, OSU 21

Freshman QB Max Knake came in for Leon Clay midway through the 2nd quarter,
and passed for 155 yards, including a 6 yd TD to Shipley in the 4th quarter
to lead TCU to its first victory. Clay was benched, going 4-7 for 83 yards.


Jay's record:    5-0 this week, 18-3-1 overall
Goober's record: 3-2 this week, 14-7-1 overall
