College FB This Weekend

W. Virginia topped Maryland last night 31-14, and Air Force toppled TCU with a stunning 4th quarter comeback featuring a 71 yard TD run in the waning moments and a FG to win it in OT, 20-17. Okie St. takes on Troy tonight at Troy, interesting because it's a bit unusual for one of the big BCS conference schools to go on the road to a Sun Belt school.

Games of interest on Saturday:

Turner Gill's job gets harder as Buffalo visits #12 Penn State.

Iowa and Iowa State clash in Ames, will State win a game this year?

Frank Solich's Ohio squad also faces a tough challenge at Va. Tech.

Mizzou takes on another patsy, this week Western Michigan.

Texas Tech travels to Rice, how many TDs does Harrell throw this week?

The battle of ineptitude this weekend is Notre Dame-Michigan, both 0-2.

#22 Tennesee squares off against #5 Florida in Gainsville.

Army goes to Wake, can the Black Knights pull off the upset over the defending ACC champs, now 0-2?

Ohio State goes on the road to Washington, will Ty Willingham surprise another ranked foe?

NU's next opponent Ball St travels to Navy.

#9 Louisville faces cross state rival Kentucky, can either defense slow down the offenses?

Boston College goes to Ga. Tech for a big ACC matchup.

Utah State travels to get a spanking at Oklahoma, while Texas goes on the road to Central Florida. Will Colt & Co. go to see the mouse?

Florida St goes to Colorado to kill buffalo.

Toledo tests the high flying Jayhawks this week, are they for real?

Texas State at Baylor, La-Monroe at A & M, Mizzou St at Kanssa State are the other Big 12 games.

Then there is the big kahuna visting Lincoln. #1 USC faces off against #14 Nebraska.

USC is definitely a talented team, and gets a lot of press clippings, recruits great athletes, and is very well coached. Can NU pull off the upset? I'd like to think so, but the Huskers had better play a perfect game - no turnovers and stupid penalties.
The 3rd largest city in Nebraska will most definitely be rocking come 7 pm.

While it's not likely, the Fearless prediction is: NU 24, USC 23.
Buckle up your chin straps.
