Some observations from the weekend from me:-I was at the Backyard Bowl Friday.  Barring injury, Jenks will run the table and win 6A.  The Trojans’ defensive line looks like a collegiate front four.  Broken Arrow may be the next best team.  I saw them beat Owasso in week one.-Don’t think of OSU’s new offense as Texas Tech’s old offense.  Mike Gundy and Dana Holgorsen have said this will be Oklahoma State’s version of the offense Holgorsen had at Texas Tech and Houston.  So far they are right.  And I don’t just mean that they utilize the run more.  When you think of Texas Tech, you think dink and dunk.  The Cowboys throw the ball deep more often that Texas Tech did.  Justin Blackmon has been the main recipient.  -The Rams didn’t do Sam Bradford any favors on Sunday.  Forcing a rookie to throw 55 passes in his first pro start puts way too much pressure on him.  It’s somewhat understandable, however, considering they had to run 81 plays.  The team’s clock management in the final minute of the game was pitiful.  They lost at least 30 seconds of game time by failing to call a timeout. -I didn’t  see every game Saturday, but the two most eye-popping players I saw were Michigan quarterback Denard “Shoelace” Robinson and South Carolina true freshman running back Marcus Lattimore.  Robinson vaulted into the top 3 of the Heisman race with 502 total yards, including 258 rushing in the Wolverines’ win over Notre Dame.  Lattimore had 182 yards and 2 touchdowns in the Gamecocks’ win.  How good is he?  Steve Spurrier let Lattimore carry the ball 37 TIMES!
