• This article about Spencer Sanders’ stunted development from before the ISU game was great

• CBS has Boynton’s Pokes finishing in the middle of the league

• Update from around the Big 12 from PFB

• Rewatching this from Saturday – it’s unreal how easy Chuba Hubbard made that TD-run from midfield look.
