Intriguing question. I tried a few searches, haven't found anything yet. No time to delve further. If someone finds it I'm curious to see.
It's possible schedules weren't determined if departure was pending.

I think people are kind of glossing over how UCF had two defensive touchdowns (I'm counting the 2nd INT as a pick 6 because it essentially was).....which credit to them, that's what you're supposed to do....Rocco had a very uncharacteristically bad throwing game....two turnovers and big runs by UCF were still not enough to give UCF a win over us.....as long as we're not turning the ball over at an insane clip, I think we can compete with most teams in the country.
not just any backup qb for ASU either.....Jeff Sims, who is arguably one of the worst qb's who keeps somehow getting playing time at every place he ends up
UCF has the talent to be a bowl team, heck probably even contend for a conference title in the future.....but there are better coaches in the Big 12 than Gus Malzahn
I don’t get the hate for Malzahn. I think offensively he’s a really good coach. They have a QB who can’t throw and are first in the B12 and 14th in the nation in total offense.
That team’s problem is the D stinks, which falls on Malzahn as the head coach, but I’d advocate for a replacement DC rather than a new head coach.
part of being a head coach though is recruiting the right guys and hiring the right people to put your players in position to succeed.
Huh. Maybe someone already noticed this, but…
In conference games only, we’re first in both total offense and total defense.
That’s a new one.

Still a week out but Weather Underground saying there is around a 40% chance of rain during the game.

My big questions during the bye week…
1. what players get healthy? (And who remains out or walking wounded?)
2. When will we see Becht play a complete good game? For that matter…when will we see the team do that?
3. Do we see any upsets this weekend (I honestly don’t see any happening)

Crazy ending to the TCU/Tech game. Tech folded up like a table cloth. They are no longer playing for the Big 12, but are now in the spoiler role.
Yeah, this didn't age well. On the road, BYU was ahead 34-10 at the end of the third quarter before calling off the dogs and allowing UCF to make it appear respectable. Based on this showing, BYU will certainly jump ISU in the polls, and deservedly so.
It doesn't matter now - one game at a time with focus on the Red Raiders, who let one get away today in Fort Worth. In range to kick a potential game winning FG, they put the ball in the hands of a non-running QB, who tried to spin out of a tackle straight into a 320 pounder who lit him up - fumble recovered by TCU. Bad play call and bad execution - Kid QB is gonna have nightmares about that one for years...
Or is it just rivalry game weirdness?

I went. KU is explosive and physical. Just had some unexplainable errors. (Steps out of bounds on ko return at the one, balls falls out of Qb hand, dropped easy TD pass)
