Mr. Friday Night Special

Last week was a massacre.  That's okay because it's for entertainment purposes only!  Here are a couple Friday night specials!  I didn't have time to post winners last night because I was busy watching John Football.  I don't know how people can write him off when he's never had the starting job except as a replacement for injuries AND he's only started 4 games.  Grow up Peter Pan, Count Chocula.  Update with last week's results and this weeks WINNERS is coming later tonight.

Temple @ SMU +12.5  LOSS

Rice @ UTEP +6  WIN

UPDATE SAT 11/7/15 7:56 AM:  I can't even describe the ridiculousness that was the ending of the Temple/SMU game (but I am going to try).  After a back and forth see-saw matchup, Temple was holding a comfy 14 point advantage until SMU gets a safety from a holding penalty on a punt from the end zone.  Then SMU runs back the ensuing kick for a TD.  So it's a 5 point game and Temple runs 4 plays and punts.  SMU takes over with just over 5 to play.  If they score it's gravy, even if they turn it over or give up a TD it's fine because it will only be a 12 point game!  Count that money! Looks good right?  Right?  WRONG.  Okay SMU doesn't convert a 4th down with 2:40 left, no big deal.  Temple just needs one first down to salt this game away. Or kick a FG or punt, it really matters not at this point.  So on a 3rd and 14 with 1:56 left, they somehow run it in from 36 yards, even though they were just trying to run clock.  Good work SMU, but still no big deal, kick the PAT and then let SMU try to score and probably end the game. Wait, why the hell is Temple lining up for a two point covers......oh shit they just did that.  Now it's a 13 point game.  Why?  No earthly idea.  Maybe the Temple coach is bad at math.  There is no reason to make a game 13 points vs. 12 unless there is time left for the other team to have 3 possessions!  Well with 1:46 left, that is just impossible.  OK well now SMU needs a TD!  Still time to get one, but instead they throw a pick-6 with 0:55 left.  Temple coach decides that 20 points is enough and doesn't try to make it a 21 point game by going for two.  20 ought to do it, he thinks to himself.  Well, SMU isn't out of it yet, now 8 points could still cover and there is time left.  Well they didn't get it.  My that was a bad beat.
