Birm pulls away in the 4th and doesn't look back.  Even stops meaningless TD on final play by a few inches.  Another Holtz well motivated, talented, serious team that wants to win.  Can anyone stop them?

They're definitely formidable. They COULD run the table. But they haven't had great opposition, either: Arlington's last in the XFL side, and the Stallions barely held off Michigan last week.

It's too bad they won't see San Antonio until week 9, because they could pull it off. But who knows what the rosters will look like by then with injuries and such?

I did a double take when they showed Taco Charlton's stats from last week.  3 sacks in one game doesn't usually happen for him.

That last one he was completely unblocked - missed assignment

Memphis apparently didn't watch any of the games Charlton played in the NFL, otherwise they would have blocked him.

Still, they should have watched any of his games in the NFL to know how to block him.
