Week 2 quick jabs in the O5

MWC: Boise St and San Diego St outlasted ,respectively PAC12 opponents, Wash St and Cal. Speciap props to the #Aztecs #Pumphrey who rushed for 281 yards against Cal
MAC: I know USF is improving but NIU  looked ragged in defeat yesterday. CMU got the benenfit of  asleep at the "wheel" officiating to upset OK st (Big 12)
AAC: Big regional win for ECU  over NC St (ACC) in a topsy turvy game. Navy got the benefit of UConn's poor clock management. Cincy handled Purdue (Big 10) and is off to a solid start.
CUSA: Shaky week! No losses to 1AA schools but no wins against  1A OOC opponents. Stocksill threw for nearly 400 yards in the MTSU' loss to Vandy (SEC) .
SunBelt-  Troy threw a he!! of a scare into Clemson (ACC) in a tough 30-24 loss.How about those Aggies of New Mexico St defeating intrastate rival New Mexico (MWC) 32-31. Ags  are doing ok as they wait for Larry Rose III, their star RB, to return to the lineup. South Bama  upset Miss St last week but Georgia Southern  gave them a sunbelt slap 24-9.

A little off the field news: On Tuesday, #UNLV (MWC) announced that the Feritta family,who recently sold their stake in the UFC, has donated $10 million to help build the school a new indoor football practice facility.

Post season  follow up: Oklahoma State's #AlamoBowl championship rings count the week 2 loss to #cmu (MAC) in week 2 as a win . NCAA didn't reverse  the result. Central Michigan won the game.

  2. CMU deserved to win this game, as OSU couldn't put them away. OSU had the same problem last year in Mt. Pleasant, as good teams don't let teams remain in games they should win, as the bad call should have never been in play

    1. Noah - no doubt OK St blew it, but the MAC refs blew it on the field then the B12 refs had time to review it and failed- that is their only job. Robert- the Owls fell from the limb.
