College FB This Weekend

Last night's big win for Miami over #20 Texas A & M (34-17) makes Oklahoma's earlier dismantling of the Hurricanes look even more impressive, but one has to wonder if the Aggies are for real.

Games this weekend of interest:

Friday - #4 OU travels within the state over to Tulsa. How many points will the Sooners ring up?

Early Games on Sat:

Goergia Tech travels to Virgina - how do the Yellowjackets bounce back after the loss to BC? Can the Cavaliers move the ball against the Tech D?

East Carolina takes on another big challenge in #5 W. Virginia. Can they control the Mountineer running attack? They've come close a couple of times in the past, and looked pretty solid against Va Tech a couple of weeks ago.

Army travels to #14 Boston College, who have looked great to start out the season, including a convincing win vs Ga Tech last week.

#25 Mizzou host Illinois St - how many yards does Chase throw for this week against another outmatched opponent?

Ball St @ #24 NU - pivotal bounce back game for the Huskers after getting gutted against USC last week.

Afternoon games:

Wyoming @ Ohio - both teams looking to recover following losses last week.

Texas Tech travels to Okie St for an early conference matchup. Will State get it going offensively after struggling again against Troy last week?

Michigan State @ Notre Dame - When will Charlie get the Irish O moving the ball?

#10 Penn St @ Michigan - a huge win here at home for Lloyd Carr if he can pull it off. Otherwise, it might be a lost season if JoPa embarasses the Wolverines again.

#12 South Carolina @ #2 LSU - can the ball coach pull off a huge upset against the talented Tigers in Death Valley? Biggest game of the week.

Miami (OH) @ Colorado - can the Buffs beat even a MAC squad? OU lurks around the corner next week.

In the evening (great Led Zep song, BTW):

Baylor travels to Buffalo - interesting matchup of two historically troubled programs, can Turner pull off an upset of the Big 12's weakest sister? BU has put up some big offensive number since finding a QB.

#21 Kentucky @ Arkansas - can the Razorbacks bounce back after the heartbreaker to Bama, or will the talented UK passing game put up big numbers again?

Rice @ #7 Texas - how long will it take the Longhorns to put this one away?

Iowa State @ Toledo - will Gene get his second win or will the Rockets win their first game of the season?

Florida Intl @ KU - will the Jayhawks dominate another patsy before Big 12 starts?

#22 Georgia @ #16 Alabama - can Nick Saban continue his magic against the Bulldogs in the biggest game of the week under lights?

Iowa @ #9 Wisconsin - UW looks to right the ship after a scare last week, while the Hwakeyes search for an identity after losing a hearbreaker to ISU.

#1 USC hosts Washinton St. - how long can the Cougars reasonably expect to hang with the Trojans?

Kansas St gets the week off to prepare for Texas next week.
