Thanksgiving Weekend of Football. What I think I saw.

1.  Dallas played a good game and lost.
  Yes, Roy Uno Uno is the epitome of the goat, but Dallas played good.
   It was not the most difficult loss for me to accept this year, but it still hurt to watch.
It is a fine line between a 4-12 team like Dallas and the SB champs in New Orleans.   

If Brees had a stronger arm, I have a feeling the Saints would have scored 50.  Payton has people open all over the field at 20 yards running full speed.   

2.  Texas - Texas A&M- Everyone is killing Brown for his 5-7 record, but what happened to Muschamps tough Defense.   How does Gray go for 223 on 27 carries?  I am befuddled.

3.  Alabama - Auburn-  This one I do not understand at all!  24-0 lead and Saban loses control.  Julio Jones is going nuts and Alabama forgets this fact and goes inside the 10 yard line 3 times and scores 6 points.  Wow!   Newton really is a good.

4.  LSU-Arkansas-   I hate to even talk about this game. 
I must admit, I was not surprised on one thing with the exception of the last play of the 1st half. 

Those LSU DB's are always out of position on a team that can throw the ball down the field.  Luckily nobody they played outside of the Tar Heels even tried consistently.   Everyone knew that they had trouble with teams that could run and Petrino and Arkansas spread out those little LB's to open up the lanes. 

Miles quote of the day to me was his comment that Ridley should have gotten the ball more in the 2nd half.
Excuse me-  6 carries 10 yards in the second half.

Maybe Les can use the Cotton Bowl as a recruiting ploy for the Texas Players and find a new Offensive Coordinator while sending his Defensive Coaches to watch TCU practice Defense against the spread.
LSU Coordinators are fine against old school teams like Bama, but the new wave of schemes seem to give them fits.

Yes, the QB's are terrible.

5. Florida - Florida State-    How did Meyer lose this team so quickly.  It was an embarrassment.
Will he fire both coordinators?

6.  Oklahoma- Okie St-  If you missed the last 3 minutes, you missed what is wrong in the Big 12.
How do you see 3 plays approaching 80 yard td's in 3 plays?

7.   Houston Nutt-  If this 2011 recruiting class revolts and decide to go somewhere else, he will be gone in 2 years.   MState just looks better.

8.  The SEC looked very weak this weekend.  I realize everyone else is weak around the country, but the SEC is making too many mental errors.
