They have had a week off to lick their wounds. They have gotten healthier. Hopefully they have figured out their identity a little bit. The TCU game showed me that they don't know who they are offensively. Max Hall was throwing the deep ball once a possession, something he usually does once a quarter or so to keep the D honest. The ball did not get spread around like usual. Not a lot of people were involved in the O. Unga was getting the lion's share of the carries.
My thoughts on the D were expressed earlier. They need to get more aggressive if they are going to pull off 4 straight to finish the season. Wyoming hasn't looked great offensively, so this might be a chance to get a little confidence. Of course, if they give up too many yards/points to Wyoming's O, that might do more to hurt confidence than help it.
BYU is the better team, but Wyoming considers this a rivalry game, so they will be hyped up. I expect a better game than I want to see: BYU 27, Wyoming 20.
Iowa over Northwestern, 31-10. Without Kafka at 100%, NW will falter, like they did down the stretch last week.
Miami over Virginia, 24-17. Virginia is improving, Miami peaked a few weeks back...
Arkansas 24, South Carolina 13. Spurrier needs to figure out a way to score.
Kansas over K-State, 38-34. For offensive fireworks, tune in here: neither team plays much defense to speak of.
Texas A&M over Colorado, 38-24. The question is: can CU afford to buy Dan Hawkins out of the rest of his contract: not with the attendance numbers they'll be pulling down the stretch...
Notre Dame over Navy, 27-17. Fight Middies, fight.
Stanford over Oregon, 34-24. The feared let-down game. Stanford is undefeated at home.
Iowa State over Oklahoma State, 42-34. Another high-scoring Big 12 matchup. OK State hasn't looked good since week 1, really.
Ohio State over Penn State, 17-10. Two good defenses? Or two bad offenses? Pryor trumps Clark as they get prepped to lay a beating on Iowa next week.
Alabama gets one more field goal than LSU, 15-12. OK, just kidding. LSU 24, Bama 10. One man can only carry an offense for so long. Unless Engram really is the Heisman winner.
Utah over New Mexico, 41-10. Finally, the Utes Wynn big. Should have started this frosh a long time ago.
Cal over Oregon State, 38-20.
Houston outslings Tulsa, 59-49. Don't blink, you might miss two TDs.
OU wins at Nebraska, 31-13. OU hasn't had problems moving the ball, just scoring points. OU's D has been pretty good too...
Fresno State ends Idaho's run, 38-34. This actually wouldn't be a bad game to attend, if you're near Moscow, Idaho this weekend: stop on by!
Air Force beats Army, 38-13. Gotta feel bad for our soldiers in the Army. First, they get an indecisive commander, then they go 0-2 against the other service academies in football. I wish they could catch a break. They will: they play VMI next weekend, and Barack will possibly, maybe, next week, make some kind of decision about troop levels in Afghanistan: pull them out or send more in, I don't care which, but to stay uncommitted is suicide for our soldiers.
Have a nice weekend, all.
Not much faith in the Cougars it would seem.
