CFB wk 8: UGA/TX AL/TN UM/IL

Several high profile games, now we wait to see if they live up to their billing.

Can Uncle Jack help UM’s passing game, will a WR step up?
Iowa vs MSU
Couple big games in the SEC.
ND vs GTech could be a game? Hopefully?
NE vs Indiana
Miami, FL vs Lousiville (a new series trophy now on the line)

IOWA is the least penalized team in the nation, their special teams have been surprisingly good. Their D is improving every week with several players in the secondary likely to be playing on Sundays in the future. Tackling phenom Jay Higgins is in the middle and Graves on the DL is their sack attack guy and he’s feeling it as the season goes on. I had them losing 2 going into the season, that hasn’t changed and I think they run the table from here. Their O is Kaleb Johnson, chances are he rushes for 200 in this game, As long as he’s healthy they can score. There are no secrets here, what you see is what you get. If MSU had alumnus Phil Parker instead of IOWA, they would kill IOWA. They don’t, we do, IOWA wins.

The biggest thing not discussed with MSU is the hiring of Rossi as DC. The defense has been exponentially better this year. While I have zero confidence that MSU will win I do believe they could win. The defense will keep it reasonable and if Chiles can level up and take care of the ball and hit some of the wide open deep passes MSU could pull off the upset.

BTW I am over the night games. What happen to 3-4pm game times?

It’s a big game for me in fantasy! Go Haynes (the last name version)! Go Love! And I need Rutherford and the ND defense to suck. Thank you for listening.

Big 4th down play by Indiana, offense looks impressive early.

The stage might be too big for Nebraska.

Rourke has a chance to superpower his stock today.

Nebraska’s kicking game is a massive problem in any close contest.

How is Indiana so good?

Cam Ward is definitely going #1.

24 for Nebraska needs to turn in his pads

Is Indiana going to win the B1G?

Louisville isn’t going away.

No

Wow, all tied up in Louisville

This is one of the best football games I have seen this year.

I thought that was a pretty weak call on Miami on 4th down, but as a neutral I’m glad it kept the game close.
