Good call with Tech vs Oklahoma Baptist being game of the week as it was the only OT game.

The only big surprise for me was SAU only beating SEO by one score. Is SAU not as strong as we thought, or has SEO taken a step up? Or was it a 1st game aberration?

HU dominated in the first half and played back ups starting late in the 2nd quarter. They were up 14-0 within 5 minutes of kickoff and could have been up 28 points in the first quarter if they hadn't lost 2 fumbles.

I'm not sure on SEOSU. I think there was a level of first game at home lift, but I think the second half was a bit more indicative of the realities of both teams. That said, I do think SE will be alright this year. They're just young in some spots.

Yeah, HU looked great. Not sure how to gauge that performance for SNU. Just not a great spot to break in a new QB. Oh well. Got it out of the way and move forward.
