I believe Dan feels the pressure. He has never been in this situation before. He's always had success everywhere he has coached. We'll see what he is really made of starting in Sept.
Seriously? Does this game even count as a W? I believe teams should be penalized for scheduling this kind of crap game. I'm sick of seeing it and it seems like the Big 12 teams are pros at putting together these types of pathetic match ups.

COACH ON THE HOTTEST SEAT: Colorado's Dan Hawkins. These days, coaches get fired even after winning seasons, which should cause some uneasiness for Hawkins. The Buffaloes are 13-24 in three seasons under Hawkins, including a bowl appearance in 2007. To be fair, a rash of injuries was a problem in last season's 5-7 finish. The likeable Hawkins remains popular, but that popularity could fade if the Buffaloes struggle again.

MOST EMBARRASING GAME: Idaho State at Oklahoma, Sept. 12. An intrasquad scrimmage would offer more intrigue. It would be bad enough if the opponent was Idaho, a WAC team that was 2-10 last season. But it's Idaho State, which was trounced 42-27 by Idaho last season. Idaho State was 1-11 last season and has had just five winning seasons in the past 20. The Bengals have played nine FBS opponents this decade and lost by an average of 27 points. And none of those opponents was near as good as OU.
