What We Learned: CFB Week 7

We learned many things this college football weekend, but this is my top five things that the whole nation knows now.

5. There Will Be No BCS Buster this Year

The last real unbeaten team that isn't in a big major conference [besides Notre Dame] in Louisiana Tech lost this weekend in a crazy shootout to Texas A&M. A&M was up by more than 20 points in the 2nd quarter. LA Tech stormed back to make it a close game, but a missed 2-point conversion ended it for the Bulldogs. 

4. Texas Has A Terrible Defense

Texas came into the season thinking that they had a stellar defense. Well, to say the least, that is not true. After given up 111 points combined in two games to West Virginia and Oklahoma, Texas needs some serious changes on the defensive side.

3. West Virginia Can't Put Up Huge Numbers Every Week 

The Mountaineers struggled badly this Saturday against Texas Tech. The Red Raiders smothered WVU 49-14. Geno Smith did not put up his usual video game numbers. With the West Virginia loss, Kansas State has sole possession of the Big 12 and I know it sounds crazy, but controls its own destiny.

  2. SEC Quarterbacks: Connor Shaw isn't Superman, but Jeff Driskel just might be

Yes, it is a stretch. After a tough LSU game, Driskel came out on fire against Vanderbilt.  He ran for 177 yards and 3 TDs. If he plays like this the rest of the season, Florida will be playing for an SEC Championship and maybe a National Championship. Connor Shaw, on the other hand, threw for two interceptions against LSU last night in a 23-21 loss.

1. Klein for Heisman?

If you haven't watched Collin Klein play this year, you are probably thinking no way. Watching Collin Klein play football is so much fun. He is arguably the best running QB in the country. Klein is a true winner. He has thrown for 7 TDs and 2 INT this year. That isn't what makes him special though. He has ran for 10 TDs and 510 yards. I can name a lot of RB that would envy those numbers. Not to mention that he is leading the K-State team to a Big 12 crown this year.
