Weekend in College FB

Kentucky got exposed a bit by the ol' ball coach last night, falling 38-23 and perhaps nicking Andre Woodson's Heisman chances with 2 fumbles that were returned for TDs as well as throwing an INT as the Cats were in the red zone. Cock's DE Eric Norwood returned both for scores to tie a NCAA record. Utah at Louisville tonight.

Saturday Games of Interest:

#13 W. Virgina @ Syracuse - can the Orange stun another ranked foe or do the Moutaineers recover their balance after being shocked last week by South Florida?

Kansas @ #24 Kansas St - I never saw that his one would be a huge game. KU is undefeated and State is 3-1 coming off its upset of the Longhorns,with only a late 4th quarter swoon against Auburn blemishing the record. Winner has to be considered a Big 12 North candidate.

#5 Wisconsin @ Illinois - can the Badgers keep winning the tight games or does Ron Zook pull off yet another upset of a Big 10 title contender, like they did last week against Penn St?

Georgia Tech @ Maryland - will the Yellowjacket swarm prevail or does Maryland keep up the momentum after last week's upset of Rutgers?

Ohio @ Buffalo - Frank's Bobcats against Turner's Bison. What's a Husker fan to do? Cats really need a win after dropping to 0-1 in conference in losing to Kent St last week.

#10 Oklahoma vs #19 Texas in Dallas - Red River shootout lost a lot of luster with both team's fall from grace last week, but it still could wind up deciding the Big 12 South.

#12 Georgia @ Tennessee - can UT's Phil Fullmer get a big conference win over a ranked team to silence the critics?

#15 Virgina Tech @ #22 Clemson - Can Tech frosh QB Tyrod Taylor stay undefeated against a Tiger squad looking for a rebound after a hard fought 13-3 loss to Georgia Tech?

Iowa State @ Texas Tech - how many yards does Tech QB Harrell throw for this week against one the most porous defenses in the conference?

Colorado @ Baylor - can CU keep up the momentum against the South division's weakest sister?

Okie St @ Texas A & M - Which team responds best with both coaches under fire for off the field issues?

#4 Ohio State @ #23 Purdue - major battle of two unbeatens in the Big 10.

#9 Florida @ #2 LSU - still a huge game, likely the best of the day, but has lost a bit of cream off the top with Florida's loss to Auburn last week. Look for the LSU defense to try to hammer at UF QB Tim Tebow.

#20 Cincinnati @ #21 Rutgers - surprising and unbeaten Cincy looks to continue its winning ways against a Rutgers squad stunned by Maryland last week. Conference opener for both schools.

AND THE BIG KAHUNA...

#25 Nebraska @ #17 Missouri - NU looks to control Mizzou's potent QB Chase Daniels, possibly with last year's 3-3-5 defensive look while Husker look for QB Sam Keller to make enough plays to stay with the Tigers. Hopefully the Blackshirts show up better than the equally anemic Tigger D and NU can run the ball to keep Daniels off the field.

Irresponsibly crazed prediction: NU 42, UM 34.
