What We Learned From College Football Week 9: Oregon, Notre Dame Surge Ahead

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but the Wildcats are rounding into form dominating the lower tier of the Big 12, outscoring Houston and TCU 82–3 in the last two weeks. The old saying goes, if you have two QBs, you don’t have any QBs. Don’t tell that to the folks in Manhattan. Now it gets real: Texas.
