Week 8 Recap: The Rest

San Diego State 19, Air Force 12
AFA did their usual thing on the ground, but SDSU RB Atiyyah Henderson did them one better and ran for 142 and a score. And the Mountain West is further muddled. Sigh.

Oregon State 17, Arizona 10
3 turnovers each, the Beavers outrushing Arizona 153-66 was the difference. Oregon State may get to bowl eligibility, while Arizona looks like they'll have to wait another year.

Arizona State 38, Stanford 3
RUDY CARPENTER! 14/15, 160, TD! Hooray! However, it means nothing because Stanford is horrible. ASU's another team in the pack. Ten. Pack ten. Hahaha.

Western Michigan 41, Ball State 27
BALL STATE OUTGAINED SOMEONE PASSING! HOORAY! And only ran for 9 yards, so they lost.

Baylor 36, Kansas 35
Baylor still has no rushing game (100 yards), but still gained more on the ground than Kansas did on the air (98). And obviously, Kansas RB Jon Cornish had a huge day on the ground (196, 2 TD), and Baylor QB Shawn Bell was a one-man team (394, 5/2 TD/INT). Two teams are obviously even, PART OF THE PACK! Yep.

Boston College 24, Florida State 19
2 Drew Weatherford INTs + only 49 FSU rushing yards = this. I still don't buy BC huge, but they seem to be at least a pretty good team, obviously.

Wyoming 24, Colorado State 0
Ouch. CSU got outgained bad and turned it over 3 times. Just horribly one-sided. And the Mountain West is further muddled. Sigh.

Miami 20, Duke 15
Wow, Miami is bad. Duke outgained the Canes 400-391, and Miami needed a red zone INT to seal the win. One of Duke's 5 turnovers doesn't happen, and we're probably talking upset.

Hawaii 49, New Mexico State 30
Nobody broke 360 passing yards. I'm extremely disappointed.

Houston 34, UTEP 17
0/1 TD/INT ratio! THE JORDAN PALMER INTERCEPTION EXPERIENCE RETURNS! But the key was UTEP's inability to get a running game going, only gaining 30 on the ground.

Texas Tech 42, Iowa State 26
TTU QB Graham Harrell: 31/40, 368 yards, 6 TD. That's more like it.

Louisiana Tech 48, Utah State 35
Wow, the Bulldog offense just went KABOOM! 344 rushing, 226 passing. Jeez. The USU offense had a good day, but when you can't stop Louisiana Tech to that degree, you ain't winnin'.

Marshall 31, UAB 24
Marshall RB Ahmad Bradshaw is scary: 242 yards, 2 TD. And yeah, he pretty much won it.

Maryland 26, NC State 20
NCSU QB Daniel Evans: 15/26, 145, 2 INT. Honeymoon's over.

Michigan State 41, Northwestern 38
Wow. Yep. Ouch.

Minnesota 10, North Dakota State 9
And Minnesota got killed statistically. Worst team in the Big Ten, seemingly easy.

Virginia 23, North Carolina 0
Things are bad when Joe Dailey comes in in relief. Things are worse when he's the more effective quarterback.

Northern Illinois 43, Temple 21
Garrett Wolfe: 45 yards. There goes that.
