Mizzou inexplicably opens as 2.5 point favorites.

early congrats on your ugly road win, Iowa

It should be interesting, or defense is not that good this year (which is rare) and the offense is the strength. Obviously Penn St's defense is their strength.

Probably because we're better than them.

Maybe, but we'll still probably lose.

Minnesota-Purdue as a national broadcast.

could be another 6-4 barnburner!

Let's hope AF looks more like Army 2010 then Navy 2010.

I'm going to this game so I want it to be competitive.

If oklahoma state wants to, they could score 100 on us.

ND's run defense has been other-worldly. If you compare their opponent's yards v. ND to their yards v. all other opponents, it's a little insane. So if ND plays like the first 2 weeks (10 TOs), it'll be close. If not, it won't.

 

Assuming Bobby D hasn't forgotten how to defend the option in any form.

AS IT SHOULD BE. how many times do you get to see a HC convulse on the sidelines?

 

we're going to get slaughtered.

[fiver]

The young DL must pressure Tyler Wilson as much as they did Stephen Garcia if they are going to have a shot at beating Arkansas this weekend. The secondary is going to have their hands full.

 

Expect Mike Dyer to get 30+ carries again this week in hopes of keeping the AU defense off the field for as long as possible. True freshman, Kiehl Frazier (6-3 210), is AU's new solution to 3rd and short and is AU's future at QB (hopefully). His role is going to continue to increase each week per Malzahn.....Barrett Trotter will still get most of the snaps, but he was definitely rattled by the SC pass rush, and i have to think his days are numbered.

 

AU is again a 10 point dog on the road.

[dew1679666265]

If anybody likes offense, watch the Tennessee/Georgia game. There may be 100 points scored in that game. I can't imagine Tennessee's defense will stop Aaron Murray very often and that will lead to Bray and the Vol offense passing it a lot - and they should have success with Da'Rick and Arnett going against UGA's defense.

 

I'd strongly favor Tennessee in this game if Hunter were still healthy, but even without him I think Tennessee stands a decent chance at winning.

[Old Style]

At least we get Gus Johnson calling our game this week. If the O/U is set at 100, I might still bet the over.

Jebus, that game was painful to watch.

[CubInOK]

Thank you AP. Blow out a nobody 62-6 and drop another spot.

[Formerly Snayke]

Just read next week's Mizzou-ISU battle will be untelevised.

Two less teams and an additional TV station (FX) and we can't get all five conference games on TV? Solid.

[snoodmonger]

i'm hoping they won't televise any of the KU games for the remainder of the year.

[SouthSideRyan]

i'm hoping they won't televise any of the KU games for the remainder of the year.

 

I'm sure in a couple of years the NCAA will mandate this for basketball too.

 

ETA: Does the Summit League have a TV contract?

Shut it. Versus is home to at least 1 ND game this year. KU can find it's own second...er...third rate channel.

Well the Texas game is exclusive on the LHN if that helps.
