College FB This Weekend

A couple of minor surprises last night, with Oregon State getting spanked by Cincinnati 34-3 and #8 Louisville having some real difficulty slowing down the Sun Belt Conference's Middle Tennessee State, with Louisville winning a slugfest 58-42. The two teams combineds for almost 1300 yds of offense and 13 TD's.

Tonight, #15 Rutgers hosts Navy and their option orineted running game. Rutgers won 34-0 last year and held the Midhsipmen to only 113 yards in that game.

Early & Afternoon Games of Interest on Saturday:

Miami (FL) at #5 Oklahoma - can OU's running game establish itself against a more capable opponent, or will Sooner QB Sam Bradford be forced to go more to the air than last week? UM has lost its last two road openers.

Buffalo at Temple - this might be Temple's best shot at winning a game this year.

#22 Boise State at Washington - Bronco's putting their nation leading 15 game win streak on the line against Ty Willingham's best looking UW team so far.

Oregon at Michigan - How do the Maize and Blue bounce back from last week's debacle?

Fresno State at #23 Texas A & M - Can A& M QB Stephen McGee repeat last week's success and will the Wrecking Crew defense step up after allowing over 400 yards to Montana State?

Evening Games:

Notre Dame @ #14 Penn St. - Can Charlie Weiss get the Irish offense untracked against Joe Pa?

Missouri at Mississippi - Can the Tigers D step up and stop anyone? Will it matter if Chase Daniels lights up the Rebel's D?

#19 TCU @ #7 Texas - will the real Colt McCoy show up this week or will the Horned Frogs surprise?

Hawaii @ Lousiana Tech - how many TD will the other Colt throw in the first half this week?

VA Tech @ LSU - will Tech be able to move the ball on the Tiger's talented D? Can LSU QB Jeff Flynn mix it up as well this week against the almost equally talented Tech D?

Colorado @ Arizona State - will Rudy Carpenter or Cody Hawkins step up bigger in the late late late show (game starts at 10:15 Eastern).
