A football post!

Dear Diane,
Last night I went to the University of Tulsa football game against the University of Texas- El Paso(UTEP). What I saw was one of the greatest displays of offense I have seen in my life. The Golden Hurricane won the game 77-35 over a completely overmatched UTEP squad. The funny thing was how the game broke down.
1st Quarter: David Johnson(Possible Heisman candidate and the NCAA leader in QB%) answers a long UTEP opening TD drive with a 98 yard TD to Brennan Marion(who ended the game with 6 catches for 233 yards and a C-USA record for yards per catch at 38.8) that he caught at the UTEP 38. The ball seemed to hang in the air forever! The quarter went back and forth and ended on a kickoff return for a TD by TU on the last play of the Q to tie the game at 28.
At this point I'm thinking that our Defense is terrible and UTEP is going to hang around all game. At the end of the first quarter though the D stepped up and started playing. From there on the Hurricane outscored UTEP 49-7 and looked dominant in every facet of the game. At the end of the 3rd, the score was 70-35 and it took us turning it over to the 2nd team and running on 7/8ths of our plays from scrimmage to slow down the torrid scoring pace.
When the game was over, the Golden Hurricane had put up 77 points and 791 yards of total offense. We scored touchdowns on 11 of 14 possessions; a tipped pass for an interception ending one first half drive, and the other two ended because time expired at the end of the halfs(the game ended with a kneel down on the UTEP 20 as the crowd begged for a FG to make it 80).
The most unbelieveable part of the whole game? We lost the turnover battle! We did not force UTEP to give up the ball once. NOT ONCE. Our D stepped up and played well late in the game, but we should be better.
This morning I woke up to the news that the University of Tulsa had a ranked football team for the first time since 1991. We were just on the outside last week, but with this lopsided win and a few losses by ranked squads, we pushed our way in; 22 in the AP Poll and 19 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. There are only 9 teams in the country that are undefeated at this point and TU is one of them. It's insane.
But now for the bad news. Tulsa plays in Conference USA, which is a mid-major conference, and not one that gets much respect from the people who vote on the rankings and create the bowl matchups. The BCS(Bowl Championship Series) consists of 5 games- The BCS Championship, Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, and Orange Bowls- and those are the pinnacle games that every team strives to get to. Unfourtunately, with the strength of schedule problems that TU has(AKA playing crappy competition), there is little to no shot of TU getting to those games, even if we go undefeated. The only hope is if the other Non-BCS Conference teams that are undefeated at this point(Utah, Boise State, Ball State) all lose and Tulsa then has the strongest case for the one spot that is held open for a champion from a mid-major. It's a long shot, but it could happen. If not, I'm guessing you'll see us in the Liberty Bowl, which sees the winning school take home 1.7 million for academic and athletic use. That would be sweet.
Anyway Diane, the whole reason I write this is because I needed to get it out of my system. I was thinking about it all morning and it's time to focus on school. The game is over and the week is about to begin; Time to get prepared.
I hope all is well in your world.
