• After Chuba Hubbard’s sparkling season opener, he’s entering arguments for college football’s best player.

Speaking of grasping things, Hubbard has placed his name in Heisman contention as he grasped national attention with an utterly dominant game against the Beavers. On 26 carries, he tallied 221 yards, 119 after contact and seven runs of 10 or more yards. [Pro Football Focus]

Spencer Sanders joined Hubbard as best performer at their respective positions via the statistical analysis site (PFF) – the Cowboy offense is a fun place to be.

• Reading about TCU’s quarterback battle helped me to fully appreciate how nice it is for OSU to have their situation figured out.

TCU’s quarterback situation does not appear to be any clearer after the season-opening win with Alex Delton and Max Duggan sharing snaps, and while both had their moments, neither became the clear front-runner for the job. [HCS]

If Gundy really had split reps (which, under no circumstance would he need to unless Dru Brown is actually Drew Brees), we’d be left to pro/con lists and the guessing game of figuring out what the offense could be with each guy in charge.

Thank goodness that’s not an issue.

• This tidbit on how the Cowboys’ weekly schedule works each week was insightful.

Oklahoma State football has today, Saturday, Aug. 31 off as they did not arrive back in Stillwater on the charter until 8 a.m. Now the Cowboys get into their regular routine. which will once again be the NFL model. Sunday will be meetings and a light evening workout and then Monday is the day off before getting back at it on Tuesday, Wednesday, lighter on Thursday, walk thru on Friday and play on Saturday. [GoPokes]

I wonder what the players all do on Mondays. Does Rob Glass sneak them in for extra pushups? How interesting must that life be in season – six days a week they bust their tails then one day a week, they’re just normal college students.

• Former Cowboy Justin Phillips was cut by the Cowboys but signed up with the Oakland Raiders practice squad

• The Ace Ventura quote at the top stems from this Ringer piece on how Jim Carrey took over 1994 – Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura (1) and The Mask!

• Simple advice – avoid shortcuts (apparently Godin has never roadtripped with me before)

• This faith-based read looking at a gal’s experience with money over time was enlightening
