CFB Week 5
Oklahoma faces its first road test a week before the traditional showdown in the Cotton Bowl. Colorado may not be fully back to where they were under Gary Barnett, but coach's son Cody Hawkins is certainly doing his fair share of bringing the Boise State offense to Boulder. The Sooners, of course, have proven to be the most dominant offensive team in college football through the first four games. Will Dan Hawkins' Boise trickeration rear its head against the mighty OU juggernaut, or will Boomer Sooner ring loudly in Colorado?
Who in the preseason would have thought that West Virginia and South Florida would mark a meeting of Big East heavyweights? Probably nobody. The Mountaineers and their powerful ground game must make the journey to face the same team that knocked off the Auburn Tigers two weeks ago. Last week, the Bulls stomped a Butch Davis-coached North Carolina Team. Will the Bulls reign in Tampa, or will Steve Slaton and Pat White declare themselves the class of the Big East once again?
The mighty Cal Bears, who have been touted as 'the only team that can take down USC in the Pac-10', must make the dreaded trip to Autzen stadium to battle the surprisingly tough Oregon Ducks. The Bears' marquee win was over the Vols in week 1 and the ducks stomped Meechigan in the big house.
Neither victory seems all that impressive in retrospect, but each of these teams is averaging more than 40 points/game. The Ducks average nearly 50 points. Will the fluorescent yellow and green ducks have the last quack orm will canard be on the menu for the Bears?
K-State travels to Texas in a repeat of the game that began the Longhorn slide at the end of last season. You can bet Mack's gang will have it out for the Wildcats. After dropping the season opener at Auburn, the cats have stomped their last two opponents (one was Division FCS Missouri State, but still). Texas struggled in their season opener with Arkansas State and against TCU (before pulling away). Then they nearly got beat by the Central Florida Knights on the road before stomping a mudhole in the Rice Owls. Which Texas team will show up, and will the K-State Wildcats be ready?
The Spartans are 4-0 as they travel to Camp Randall Stadium to take on the equally undefeated Wisconsin Badgers. Will Wisconsin prove its mettle and stay perfect, or will Michigan State start a new chapter in the Big 10?
