Making the morning rounds.

• Have you ever watched a fourth quarter comeback ... on Weeden? I'm not at Oklahoma State practices, obviously, but it's hard to believe after watching third-stringer Brandon Weeden bring the Cowboys from behind with two fourth quarter touchdown passes against Colorado Thursday night that the former minor leaguer has been consistently outplayed by top backup Alex Cate, who was 0-for-11 in his first start in place of injured Zac Robinson. OSU coaches still "stand behind" Cate, but it was Weeden who pulled the Cowboys' BCS hopes from the fire of a Buffalo upset and will definitely get the start if Robinson can't go next week at Oklahoma.

The Colorado papers are eerily silent this morning on coach Dan Hawkins' decision to punt with a little over three minutes remaining and a four-point deficit, after which the Buffaloes never saw the ball again en route to loss No. 8 on the year, instead preferring to describe CU's effort on the road as "gallant." That and a prohibitive buyout will get Hawkins another week of patience before facing the executioner for judgment on his fourth straight losing season. [Boulder Daily Camera]

• It's Turner Gill time again. Already, rumors are swirling in Lawrence about Mark Mangino's potential successor if the controversy over his temperament forces the big man out at Kansas, and the folks in Buffalo are worried the Jayhawks could come after Turner Gill. The Bulls have fallen flat after the MAC title run that made Gill the toast of the coach-search circuit last December, but Gill is a known commodity in the Big 12 North after years as a successful player and assistant at Nebraska, and his daughter attends Kansas. He was also the quarterback of a team that put back-to-back 50-point beatdowns on KU in 1982-83, but that doesn't seem to diminish his chances if the job opens up. [Buffalo News]

• Aint it hard, to want somebody who doesn't want you? Steve Kragthorpe has officially lost the locals in Louisville, with the hometown Courier-Journal's Rick Bozich calling for Krags' dismissal and almost three-fourths of readers coming to the same conclusion in the Journal's online poll. The Cards can still salvage a .500 season and possible bowl bid with upsets over South Florida and Rutgers. [Louisville Courier-Journal]

• The Zach Attack is back! (In court, that is.) Cincinnati quarterback Zach Collaros has until Dec. 7 to begin a court-ordered underage drinking program or face potential jail time after being accused of showing a fake ID at a bar. Collaros is certain to take the lessons of underage drinking to heart, especially now that he has reached the age of maturity and sensibility at twenty-one. [Associated Press]

• College! Ow! Ohio State students did indeed brave the cold and traces of urine in Mirror Lake Thursday night/early this morning to splash about and yell incoherently in support of the Buckeyes on their trip to Michigan, and alcohol, and just life, you know?

No word on whether the Michigan flag on campus was removed prior to the revelry.

Quickly ... Arizona State will trot out its third different starting quarterback, Samson Szakacsy, against UCLA. ... Michigan's leading rusher, Brandon Minor, will be out against Ohio State. ... And with both Ty Willingham and now Dennis Franchione in the mix, the UNLV coaching search could be more fun than it has any right to be.
