Sunday Roll-call

• Oklahoma — I have to say, it was very odd watching OU football on a Friday night. Apparently, the high school coaches in the Tulsa area were very peeved about ESPN usurping their normal game night. They ended up playing most HS games on Thursday so that their kids could both play and watch two of the in-state options. I'm sure most of them were more impressed by Oklahoma's performance than Tulsa's. The defense did more or less what I expected. They slowed down Tulsa's passing game by completely destroying any attempts to run the football. Three picks (though no returns of them) were the result. Also, Murray's kickoff return was amazing...guess I picked the wrong to have a big night on special teams. I'll live with it. The only disappointment was that Hartley missed his field goal and had an XPT blocked.
• Tulsa — Even though they got blown out, at home, in front of a hostile crowd, the Golden Hurricane really accounted well for themselves. Nine different players caught passes for Tulsa. Smith put up 350 yards on Oklahoma's defense and generally looked like a very good QB. Tulsa did, however, prove me right that the rushing numbers they had accumulated earlier in the season were all smoke, mirrors, and bad defenses.
• Michigan — Well, it wasn't pretty, but it was a win. Mallett actually made enough throws to get a good feel for his ability as a quarterback. He'll do okay after a year or so, but Henne needs to get well for them to salvage this season. Mike Hart, however, looked like a complete and total bad-ass...as usual.

That's actually all the football I watched for the whole weekend, sorry.
