Mustangs' QB handling evaluations well after loss to TCU | Inside the Mustangs
SMU's offense was good enough to kick field goals when they put drives together. That's always costly. Not just losing the additional four points, but also momentum, which can kill any chance of winning. TCU also contributed a lot to that.

TCU coach Sonny Dykes sees no weaknesses in West Virginia’s defense | Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Against Texas Tech, West Virginia limited the Red Raiders to just four yards per play and 2-of-18 in third down situations. From the sounds of his press conference Tuesday, it seems like Dykes believes this will be the best defense the Horned Frogs have seen this season.
“I don’t see a weakness defensively,” Dykes said. “Typically when you go into a game, you start looking at teams and say ‘hey we want to after this guy or attack that guy or they’re not good at this,’ you don’t really see much of that with West Virginia. They’re a solid defensive football team.”

Rams’ rookie class is off to strong start in 2023, led by 4 standouts | Rams Wire
On offense, Puka Nacua and Steve Avila have looked like future Pro Bowlers for Los Angeles...He’s made a handful of blocks that no guard for the Rams would’ve made last year, including one against the Bengals on a screen to Kyren Williams where he ran about 15 yards to take a defender out of the play.
This two-level block by Avila on Williams’ touchdown last week was particularly good, too.
As Williams has gone down, the opportunity is there for rookie Quentin Johnston to step up.
"We believe in the ability of this guy and we believe in the make-up of this guy," Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Monday of Johnston, via team transcript. "Now, he is going to get a bigger opportunity because there are going to be more opportunities available for him. It's a great chance for him to step up, and for everyone around him, too, as well. This is going to be an important transition for us, offensively."
Big 12
Cincinnati enjoyed about as much success as possible for a Group of Five football program the last five years. The Bearcats were fixtures in the Top 25, won a couple of conference championships and played for a third, and they even made it to a College Football Playoff.
The realization of joining the highest ranks of big-time college sports didn’t hit home until Fox television’s traveling Big Noon Kickoff pregame show arrived on campus for the inaugural Big 12 game against Oklahoma.

Phenom Commitment Alert: TCU scores big with 2024 Micah Robinson | Phenom Hoop Report
Phenom: What made TCU the place for you in the end?
Robinson: “I would really say it was a lot of things that ultimately made TCU feel like home for me. Some of the main ones were just being the comfortability I felt with the entire coaching staff. I really felt like they were interested in me, not just as a basketball player but as a young man as well, so that definitely stood out to me. Also, I trust the plan that Coach Dixon has in store for me in terms of my development, and how he can help me be successful to ultimately reach my end goal.”
