It's Video Game Football as Navy Scores 74

Oh, and their opponent North Texas dropped in 62 points for good measure. No, it's not WAC football, but it sure is special.

For the math challenged that's 136 regulation points between two college football teams.

Imagine the noise made by those old school adding machines or cash registers. Now pretend they started making noise for every chunk of say, 10 yards. Place them on the sidelines for today's game and imagine how absolutely constant and annoying they would be adding up the 1300 units of combined yardage between these two teams.

Frankly, I'm thrilled. I'm an offensive guy so that stuff just makes me grin from ear to ear. Defense is important (crucial, in fact), but I'm a positive motion kind of guy. Defense is simply the art of getting in the way and tonight neither team made much effort to get in the way.

Navy already leads the nation in rushing, but they've probably iced the rushing title with a few weeks to spare after churning out 572 yards tonight (on 57 carries! 10 yards/attempt!).

Anchors aweigh!

Oklahoma Drops 79 on North Texas

That's ... just ridiculous. I really don't know what to add.

This week's ESPN The Magazine had a feature following the North Texas team asking whether they could upset Oklahoma. This is just a wild guess here, but I think coach Stoops and his players might've seen it.

79 ?

Geesh. How very Spurrier of you, Bob. Actually I'm all for teams scoring early and often, but the pattern fits at Stoops worked under Spurrier for a while at Florida.

This doesn't really say a lot about Oklahoma seeing as it was against North Texas, but freshman quarterback Sam Bradford completed 92% of his passes for over 300 yards and three touchdowns. Fellow freshman back DeMarco Murray scored five touchdowns on just 85 rush yards.

I think we have our winner for biggest blowout of the weekend, no?
