The Rundown: Week 6

Another installment of the Rundown, where we at Bedlam Sports talk a little about what the Sooners, Cowboys, Golden Hurricane and Razorbacks will be facing over the weekend.

Friday, October 8


22 Oklahoma State Cowboys(4-0, 1-0 Big 12) at Louisiana Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns (2-2, 2-1 Sun Belt) 8 p.m. central on ESPN2

The Cowboys are making the drive down to Louisiana this Friday for their first road game. Coming off of a several impressive (TU, Washington State) wins and two wins by only three points (Texas A&M and Troy). After recently joining the 40-win club, OSU coach Mike Gundy hopes to raise that number higher against what many are calling an inferior team in an inferior conference. As David Ubben from ESPN said, "The Sun Belt (Conference) has some good teams. The Ragin' Cajuns aren't one of them." As a team that lost 55-7 to Georgia several weeks ago Louisiana Lafayette might not be able to stop the likes of Brandon Weeden and Kendall Hunter. But this being college football, and a road game, you never know just what can happen.

Saturday, October 9

University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane (3-2, 1-1 C-USA) at Southern Methodist University Mustangs (3-2, 2-0 C-USA)
After Tulsa's 48-7 trouncing of Memphis last week, the Hurricane  hope to inch closer to that C-USA title by dealing SMU their conference loss. Both teams are coming off wins to conference opponents and could each use one in the W column to stay competitive for the chance to appear in the Liberty Bowl on New Years Eve.

11 University of Arkansas Razorbacks( 3-1, 1-1 SEC) vs. Texas A&M Aggies (3-1, 0-1 Big 12) at Cowboy's Stadium, Arlington, TX, 2:30 p.m. central on ABC
The Razorbacks hope to come back from an incredibly close loss to #1 ranked Alabama from two weeks ago while the Aggies are hoping to even out their Big 12 record to 1-1 after a loss in the last seconds to the OSU Cowboys last Thursday. The Aggies and the Razorbacks are in the second year of a ten-year contract between to the two schools to play in Arlington, rekindling an old Southwestern Conference Rivalry. Arkansas' Ryan Mallett, ranked second in FBS in passing yards per contest is needing a big game to get back in the Heisman race while the Aggies' Jerrod Johnson is hoping to put the memories of his four interceptions thrown against Oklahoma State last week behind him.

6 University of Oklahoma Sooners have a bye this week. Come back next week for their match-up against the Iowa State Cyclones.
