Cowboys Defeat Seahawks 38 - 17

We're beginning to learn a few things about this year's Cowboys. For starters, Dallas is beginning to show the type of consistency needed to be a contender in The NFC. Today, The Cowboys followed up a dominating win last week against a solid Atlanta Falcons team, with an equally impressive, 38 to 17 win over Seattle.

Tony Romo threw for three touchdowns today. This is also the first time in Tony's career, he's strung together three consecutive games without an interception. Be sure to join us tonight on Inside Sports for a full recap of today's big win for The Cowboys.

Travesty of Justice

What does TCU have to do in order to get a little love from the BCS? Despite beating UNLV 41 to nothing, improving to a perfect 8 - 0 on the season, The Frogs stayed at number six in the BCS rankings. I think it's a travesty but Frogs Head Coach, Gary Patterson is cool with it.

Today Coach Patterson said, "Why would you want it any different?" "Like I said earlier in the season, for some reason, if we're going to get this done, it's going to be the hard way. If we can pull it off, that's what's going to make it even more memorable."

The Frogs will square off against San Diego State, Saturday at 3 pm.

SMU's Turning The Corner

June Jones has a history of rebuilding college football programs. Back in 1999, no one paid attention to The University of Hawaii. But by 2007, The Warriors had a perfect 12 and 0 regular season, capped off by a B-C-S bowl appearance. He's now on the verge of having similar success at SMU.

"We're right where I thought we would be," said Jones.

In only his 2nd season, Jones has a Mustangs team who only won one game last year, in position to make their first bowl appearance since 1984.

"We have a chance to finish better than 6 and 6 but our goal was to get six for sure and that's where we're at."

June Jones has used his trademark run and shoot offense to help resuscitate SMU's football program. The Mustangs are averaging nearly 300 passing yards per game which is 16th in the nation. But the x's and o's of the game accounts for only half of SMU's resurrection.

"Coach Jones got people believing," said Receiver Emmanuel Sanders. "We go out every game believing we can win and we know that with Coach Jones at the helm anything is possible."

Jones said, "I just believe so much more in, not the x's and o's, not the football stuff. Everybody does that. The coaches before me have been good football coaches. It's more about getting the mind set changed and the culture of everything, not just the locker room, not just the kids but the school, the traditions, everything! It's like re-branding in a way, who you are."

And the results speak for themselves. The Mustangs have four games remaining to pick up two wins... making them bowl eligible. SMU can take a big step towards that goal by picking up a win this Saturday against a winless Rice team.

SMU Offensive Lineman, Mitch Enright said, "Anytime a team like Rice comes in here, they're going to be hungry because they're oh and eight. They want to get that first win of the year. So we have to take care of business and hopefully by the end of the game we'll have a win."
