    I will go into the next three games with eyes wide open looking for some clues. If Missouri manages to show up and stomp out hope for the Aztecs and the Redhawks by halftime, it is a very good sign. It is a sign that maybe this team has the focus that last year's team lacked. If they roll to the 5-and-0 start nearly everyone is predicting with a win over Colorado, Tiger fans can start to dream about North titles and beyond.

    If they don't? Maybe it won't mean anything. Maybe one week truly has no impact on the next in college football (see Kansas, see Virginia Tech). But even if Mizzou stands 5-and-0, how they do it may be as important as the fact they did it. These next three teams are decent. They are capable of winning on the right day. But if Missouri plays well, none of them can win.

    This week, Pinkel told reporters the message he is stressing to his team is that it's not about who you play. Great teams play well no matter who stands on the other sideline. And he's right. Alabama blasted Penn State. But the week before, the Tide blasted San Jose State. Oklahoma drilled Florida State. But the week before, the Sooners let Utah State hang around to the end. Right now, Alabama is a great team. Oklahoma is a very good team that has a chance to be great. There's a difference.

  • PowerMizzou: Five questions with Aztec Insiders
  • GoAztecs.com: OFFICIAL RELEASE

    With its 41-21 victory at New Mexico State last Saturday, San Diego State posted its first 2-0 start since 1994, and its first 2-0 start with at least one of those victories coming on the road since 1986. The Aztecs took a 13-7 lead just prior to intermission and led the entire second half. Freshman running back Ronnie Hillman became the 71st player in school history to record a 100-yard rushing game, carrying 22 times for 150 yards and four touchdowns. He is the first Aztec to score four rushing touchdowns since Nov. 17, 2001, and also set a Mountain West Conference single-game record for a freshman.

    The Aztec defense recorded seven three-and-out series and held the Aggies to 169 yards of total offense over the final three quarters of the contest.

    San Diego State's special teams enjoyed another big day, with senior punter Brian Stahovich booming four punts of 50 or more yards (50.8 average), including two that pinned New Mexico State inside the 20, a forced turnover by the punt coverage unit, and six of eight kickoffs resulting in touchbacks.

  • The Trib (Steve Walentik): Open gym observations
    The more I watch freshman point guard Phil Pressey play, the more I understand why ESPN analyst and former St. John's and New Mexico Coach Fran Fraschilla was so high on him as a high school player coming out of Dallas. His quickness and leaping ability, particularly for someone no taller than 5-10, are impressive, and he also seems to work hard at creating scoring opportunities for other teammates. He set up Ratliffe for several dunks by dropping the ball off to him on the break and also threw a nice lob over the defense that should have resulted in an easy basket, but Ratliffe missed the layup.

    Ratliffe has already been impressed with his young teammate.

    "I played against him in AAU when he was a freshman, and I was a junior," Ratliffe said. "I knew he was good back then. We had a young guard too named Kendall Marshall (now a freshman at North Carolina), and they were the best freshman point guards in the country, and they used to battle like every game. Then when I got here, I could just see he's so much more mature, and he's just got so much smarter over the years. Physically, he gets off the floor. He's probably got a 47-inch vertical, and he can do any kind of dunk you want to see for a 5-10 guy. It's just amazing to watch him play and watch how smart he is already, and he's only 18, 19 years old."
