W. Virginia 35 - 35 Baylor (Halftime)

Unbelievable.  With two seconds left on the clock, and Baylor on its own 33, there wasn't much for Baylor QB Nick Florence to do but flip the ball to Lanear Sampson of North Mesquite H.S. in Mesquite, TX at the WVU 45 and hope for the best.  Since I'm used to watching SEC football, I kept waiting for someone to come over and whack Sampson to end the half.  But this is Big XII football, so naturally Sampson ran UNTOUCHED ALL THE WAY TO THE END ZONE TO TIE THE GAME.  Just a horrific effort by WVU's defense on that play.  Truly unforgivable, even by the standards of this game.

We haven't had a lot of drama in some recent iterations of the UCFC, but we're getting it today.  I have no idea what will happen in the second half, other than that both teams will probably score and score.  Look at these numbers from the two QB's:

Florence (Baylor):  11-16, 296 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT.
Smith (WVU):  26-28, 288 yards, 4 TD's, 0 INT.
