Big Ten Week 3 Preview

I have a no politics rule on this site.  With that said, I hope College Football can give all of us a momentary reprieve from what is going on in this country.  Today is 9/11 and we should remember we all are Americans first.  

Friday Night:

Indiana St @ IU (-48.5):  What type of line is that?  Larry Bird is pissed.  IU 55 ISU 6

New Mexico @ UCLA (-15.5):  Can UCLA go 0-3 with that Tennessee QB?  Watch out for the Lobos!  UCLA 19 New Mexico 14

Saturday:

Oregon (-28.5) @ Northwestern:  This game opens the Big Ten season?  On a side note, what the hell has happened to Oklahoma State?  I really wish Michigan had traveled there last week.   Oregon 51 NW 10 

Wisconsin @ Alabama (-21.5):  Why does the Wisconsin starting QB always get hurt early in the season every year? I like Alabama in this one, but over 3 TD's?   Alabama 21 Wisconsin 13

Houston Christian @ Nebraska: No line.  Really?  Nebraska 36 HCU 7

Towson @ Maryland:  No line. Really? Towson, Maryland sounds like a town with good home values.  Maryland 28 Towson 0

Villanova @ Penn State:  No line, but it's a fun basketball game.  Penn State 28 Vill 10

USC (-20.5) @ Purdue: USC does not play well when they travel East, but it's Purdue.  USC 31 Purdue 20

Norfolk St. @ Rutgers: No Line Really?  Rutgers 28 NFS: 12

Youngstown State @ MSU: No Line, Really?  Good win by Sparty last week.  MSU 30 YSU 17

Ohio @ OSU (-30.5):  Finally Ohio State playing an instate team.  They should play UC every year now they are in the Big 12.  OSU 30 Ohio 13

Western Michigan @ Illinois (-27.5):  I don't think Illinois is a good as everyone thinks they are.  They are better than the Broncos.  Illinois 24 WMU 3

UMass @ Iowa (-35.5): The fighting Don Browns are no longer.  What a terrible game.  Iowa 17 Umass 0

Minnesota (-2.5) @ Cal: Not sure this line makes sense.  I like Cal 23 Minnesota 20
