Without a game to broadcast this week, I need something to keep me on my game. So here are the games I’ll be checking out this weekend … after I’ve finished Mrs. Denton’s to-do list.

No. 20 West Virginia at Texas Tech  

This should be interesting, as WVU has impressed me so far. Quarterback Skylar Howard has been good, but so has his Texas Tech counterpart Patrick Mahomes, who has thrown for 2,200 yards and 20 touchdowns. Lubbock is a tough place to play, and that makes this one intriguing to me.

Kansas State at No. 19 Oklahoma

We find out if the Wildcats are for real when mentor Bill Snyder visits understudy Bob Stoops, who worked for Snyder at KSU. The difference in this one may be OU receiver Dede Westbrook, who has 544 yards and five touchdowns. He also set the OU single-game receiving record last week against Texas with ten catches for 232 yards. Better double-cover him. K-State showed real guts on he road versus West Virginia and proved that the slow-down game is not dead in a win over Texas Tech last week.

No. 2 Ohio State at No. 8 Wisconsin

J. T. Barrett is back at full throttle at quarterback for Ohio State, and Urban Meyer loves to take his teams on the road the same way Coach Patterson does. But don’t overlook the Badgers’ redshirt freshman quarterback Alex Hornibrook, a heady lefty and a capable engineer on the Wisconsin freight train. This should be a physical battle, Saturday Night Wrestling style.

Enjoy your open week, Frog fans.
