PROPS from the Broncos' victory over the Falcons and DROPS from CU's home finale loss to the Oklahoma State Cowboys:

DROPS: Okie State QB Zac Robinson, a Littleton native, sure would look good in Black and Gold. Height, speed, a decent arm, and football smarts. Former coach Gary Barnett wouldn't guarantee Robinson a chance to come in and compete at QB, so Robinson and his lack of a 'k' took his act to Stillwater. In 05 Barnett had the stellar QB ensemble of Brian White, Bernard Jackson, and James Cox clogging up Robinson's chances at the position. Good call there, Gary, because when you think great college QBs, all of those guys are on the list.

PROPS: Go ahead and book it that the Denver media darling this week will be FB/LB Spencer Larsen. Of course, when you're the first player in five years to start on offense and defense, they'll tend to do that. Did Larsen think he was playing in Arena Football game? Besides being a trivia answer, Larsen had a great game (along with the Celebration Twins- Jamie Winborn and Leslie Woodyard- the LBs were outstanding) collecting six tackles and leading on some tough yards at fullback.

DROPS: Darrell Scott's freshman year in Boulder has been a complete bust. He again sat out Saturday's game, leaving the Buffs with just Demetrius Sumler at the position all night. Scott again was hampered by a nagging ankle injury. One has to wonder if when Scott showed up to camp overweight, they should've made the decision to redshirt him right there. His explosivness outside of a couple plays has been sorely lacked this year, especially when there isn't much happenning at the WR position.

PROPS: Unlike the Buffs, Shanny has plugged in players into his system and coached them up to play admirably. Josh Bell, out of football a few weeks ago, had a decent game at CB. So much so that they were actually throwing at Dre Bly's man Roddy White. Enter Tatum Bell, selling cell phones last week, who salted away the game with some key runs. Someone known as Josh Shaw was ever present at defense tackle, helping clog the lanes and forcing Falcon RB Michael Turner into tough outside yards. Shaw has been inactive most of the year. That is what Shanny and good coaches do: rely on backups who can adhere to the system adn assignments when the starters go down.

PROPS: Kudos to the Steelers for opening a two game lead for the Donks by winning one of the ugliest games in recent NFL history. The 4-6 record the Chargers face may have them is disarray and the Donks looking for the kill shot with the Raiders at Invesco next week and the Colts travelling to SD.

PROPS: The winning TD from Jay Cutler to Daniel Graham was nothing short of beautiful. A complete laser that no one other than Graham could've caught. Dare we say it was - gasp - Elwayesque?

DROPS: The tight end seems to have completely erased from the CU offense. CU has playmakers at tight end- Riar Geer, Patrick Devenny, and Patrick Deehan are all high caliber players. Especially Deehan: think Tony Scheffler as a freshman. Part of the problem could be the injuries along the OL, which is keeping the TEs in to block on passing downs. However, quick TE dumps and passes across the middle are key, especially for a team that struggled on 3rd downs (3 for 14). Another possibility is that Cody Hawkins is just not tall enough to see the TEs across the middle.
