Boone Pickens: Unbeaten OK State would get playoff nod over Irish

They are the number one ranked team in the land right now and control their own destiny. Other 1939 happenings: Lou Gehrig played for the Yankees, the Spanish Civil War came to an end, Batman made his first comic book appearance and a brand new auto cost all of $750.

“When [the coaches] told me I had to go in, I felt like I was ready”.

Johnson was indeed needed tonight and he played excellent in his relief duty.

No. 16 FLORIDA STATE 52, CHATTANOOGA 13: In Tallahassee, Florida, Sean Maguire threw two touchdown passes and Dalvin Cook had his seventh 100-yard rushing game and added two more scores for the Seminoles (9-2, No. 14 CFP) against the Mocs (8-3), a team that has clinched a spot in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. Although Johnson did throw an interception while scrambling, he looked very, very capable in his first significant snaps of his career.

Texas (4-6, 3-4, next game Thursday vs. Texas Tech) – Interesting time on the Big 12 teleconference today.

Baylor quarterback Jarrett Stidham (3) passes under pressure from… It’s his right ankle and his hand.

Mayfield left the TCU game after suffering concussion symptoms at halftime following a head-to-head hit by the Frogs’ Ty Summers, who was ejected for targeting. I think he’ll switch sides a little bit.

Offensively, both quarterbacks did find success when throwing in KD Cannon’s direction.

“There’s going to be a lot of emotion, but that’s who I am”, said Walsh, who leads the team with 11 rushing touchdowns and has also passed for 11 this season.

The Baylor defense got to quarterback Mason Rudolph early and disrupted his offensive rhythm.

The Cowboys were the third undefeated team to lose on Saturday, joining Houston (at UConn) and Ohio State (vs. Michigan State) among the ranks of the once beaten. With Beau Blackshear and Byron Bonds both out with injuries, the Bears played extremely well with limited numbers on defense. Ty Willingham lost his job from that team and what he’s doing now. This will be a huge gauge for us going into the games we play at the end of the season because this is the biggest game we’ve played so far yet this season. This time it was Baylor falling to Oklahoma.

OSU forced Baylor to turn the ball over on downs on the ensuing possession, then the Cowboys scored just two plays later. Iowa would have fallen out of the picture (likely by losing to the Buckeyes in the Big Ten Championship game) in order for Ohio State to remain where they are. “But he’s tall and disruptive in the backfield, so it’ll be a good challenge for us”.

As for Baylor, it will be another nerve-racking conclusion to the regular season.

The College Football Playoff will eventually expand because the NCAA will get even more greedy.
