You have no idea how much it hurt to put ND-PSU in the mismatch category.

Geaux Tigers.

[Post Count Padder]

Bring on the Irish :twisted:

[Outshined_One]

lol Michigan.

[Guest]

Dunno that BYU-UCLA is a mismatch.

[B]

I can't believe you disrespected Louisiana Tech by putting them under mismatch.

Big game this week. We won't be able to get Bradford's toes in the water with little bubble screens and dump-offs against Miami's linebackers and db's.

 

It will be fun to watch Miami DE Calais Campbell (6-8, 280) go up against Phil Loadholdt (6-8, 360)

No chance of a replication but here's what happened the last time ND and PSU hooked up. Edited September 5, 2007 by Andy

Geaux Tigers!

 

Go Warhawks!

 

And I plan on being at the Hawaii-La Tech game as I'm eager to see Colt try to throw for over 500 yds against the Bulldogs.

Tennessee had best win Saturday since I'll be at the game covering it. After that egg the defense laid against Cal, I'm hoping they can handle Damion Fletcher - who is a dang good running back for the Golden Eagles.

 

35-17 Tennessee

I just hope Clausen can do something to make the game close. Unlikely though with the O line being non existent.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I have no idea what to expect against Ole Miss.

Fear their running back. BenJarvus Green-Ellis is one of the better tailbacks in the SEC.

 

Their tight end, Robert Lane, is also pretty good. Generally, not much to be worried about offensively. Not sure about their defense, but it's nothing special overall after losing Patrick Willis.

[UK1679666180]

I'm ready for Uk to go to 2-0 vs. teams they should beat, I'd pick UK by 14 at this stage.

[dougdescenzo]

Notre Dame biggest underdogs in Weis era at +17. Even bigger than '05 USC. Clausen starting i'm taking the Irish and the 17.

Yep. Gotta like your chances against Kent State. I'm really looking forward to the Kentucky/Louisville game. It should be a major shootout.

Penn State was in the FIU backfield all day. I think ND's line has to be better by default, but yeah, you should fear guys like Sean Lee coming in on the weak side

-Big game for the Hoosiers. If they are to make a bowl -- a completely reasonable proposition -- they likely must win this game. It's a game they should win, and a team like IU cannot afford to lose such a game as they're so few and far between.

 

-BenJarvus Green-Ellis...tear...wish you were still at IU...

 

-Watch out for South Florida. Auburn was unimpressive against K-State (albeit so was USF in their opener), and USF is a team on a meteoric rise. I think there's an excellent chance this game catapults USF into the nation's mind, polls and major bowls.

[Derwood]

which inferior team will Northwestern lose to in the non-con schedule this year, Nevada or Duke?

No chance they lose to Duke.

Sean Lee is a beast.

 

And Dan Connor devours running backs as he tackles them :twisted:

I have no idea what to expect against Ole Miss.

Complete and utter domination.
