Interception, forced fumble, & a fumble recovery against the Lions.

Titans succeeding by letting Vince be Vince.

Season ticket info including the new North end zone seats.

Colt McCoy & Aaron Ross are players of the year.

Brings back memories right?

Seriously, if you wrote a script of how everything went down with Vince and the Texans, and this was the ending, people would probably laugh at you saying it was unrealistic. Well not when you are dealing with Vince Young. He continues to amaze everyone, so much so that Merril Hoge might even have to say a positive comment about him.

One question I have, where was Mario Williams on that play? Ha.

Our Thoughts

Brian – No changes for me this week as only Darren McFadden and Steve Slaton were in action. McFadden had a solid game and was one of the reasons Arkansas was able to hang with Florida as long as they did, but he didn’t do enough to win and didn’t do enough too move up my list. In the Rutgers/West Virginia game Ray Rice made a strong case for himself to be the Big East running back on my list over Steve Slaton, but overall Slaton has had the better season of the two.

Matt – No changes this week for me either. I was pretty surprised to hear that Brady Quinn won the Maxwell Award. What did everyone see from him this year? All I saw was that he played two good teams, and in both of those games they got killed. No way he should win anything over Troy Smith. McFadden is the only reason Arkansas did anything this season, and I think if it were not for Troy Smith he would have had a legitimate shot to win. Oh well, there is always next year.

18 points including game clinch free throws in final seconds.

The Wizard of Odds has up some videos and a poll on this year’s worst cheap shots. Right now our good friend Kellen Heard is running away with the voting but the best part is the Aggies defending him and everyone else mocking how stupid they sound.

I voted for Heard but the play by Iowa’s Mitch King where he rips off an Ohio State player’s helmet and then gives him a fist to the face is a very close second:

Sounds like the ACC blocked a preferred Texas-Clemson matchup.

He told his teammates, ‘Man, I need this one.’ I suspect there will be a lot of burnt orange in Reliant on Sunday.
