Iowa State looked better than I expected last night against Northern Illinois, winning 27-10. I wanted to see Hawaii put up a bit better fight against Pete The Cheater's old team. In a very exciting finish last night, Utah beat Pitt with a field goal. And South Carolina showed a lot of enthusiastic spirit beating Southern Miss, 41-13.
I hope Illinois beats the Mizzousiers on Saturday, but I doubt they will. I always hope that Colorado State beats CU in that traditional season opener. Nebraska should beat Western Kentucky High School by 51. Oregon State is one of my favorite teams and I would love to see them mess up TCU's national plans. And as much as I don't like Virginnie Tech, I would like to see them beat those guys who play on the fake blue turf field.
