Week 4 Preview (Cliff's Notes Version)

Abbreviated preview of this weekend's action as I am off to Madison to do this...



Lots of good conference matchups this week. Among the more interesting:

Penn St (Easty) at Michigan (0-0 in Big Ten, Goldy)

The Wolverines get to "start over" with their Big Ten opener.

South Carolina (Easty) at LSU (Bart)

LSU and USC are already trading "Who's Number 1?" back and forth on a weekly basis, But all that really matters is "Who's Number 1 or 2?" and every week is a challenge in the SEC. Expect a big play to decide a low scoring game.

Kentucky (Baradel) at Arkansas (Hensh)

Kentucky looked great in finishing off Louisville (great strategy to take an unsportsmanlike penalty to set up the winning TD). The Hogs lost steam late against 'Bama--maybe using McFadden every play isn't the best idea in the world....

Georgia (Brock) at Alabama (Baradel)

Nick Saban has another tough test at home. And it has to entrust his offense to a QB named John Parker Wilson. Sounds like a Hardy Boy.

Washington (Goldy) at UCLA (Coleman)

UCLA's loss to Utah was bizarre, and now they have a new and improved Washington team coming to town. Huskies for my upset special again.

Got to go, my brats are waiting.....

Week 3 Preview (Part 2)

Florida Int'l (free agent) at Miami-Fl (Goldy)

Remember this...



Too bad there won't be enough scoring in this one to rile up emotions...

Arkansas (Hensh) at Alabama (Baradel)

The SEC is going to be fun to watch this year. Coach Saban's first real test at 'Bama, and hopefully Coach Nutt won't be distracted with any sideline texting this season.

Louisville (Goggles) at Kentucky (Baradel)

My upset special for the week. The game may come down to dueling Heisman contenders Brian Brohm and Andre' Woodson trading TDs. Woodson's three from the corner at the buzzer gives the Wildcats the win.

Boston College (Baradel) at Georgia Tech (Charlie)

Given the ACC's demise this year, this game seems destined to be replayed in Jacksonville for the conference title in December. I guess you have to give GT the advantage for actually winning a game out-of-conference already.

USC (Goggles) at Nebraska (Brock)

The Trojans' lead in the polls narrowed significantly this week after LSU's impressive performance against Va Tech. And as Tim Griffin reports, Bill Callahan is looking for a statement game to open his tenure in Lincoln. Game on
