Week 3 (Our Opponents)

[LandoComando]

Not a great week for us

Non conference
WVU Lost to Pitt 38-34. Now they have huge game against 1-2 Kansas next week to try to save their season
BGSU Bye. They play A&M next week
Kent Got humiliated against Tennessee 71-0 as Tennessee punted the 2nd half or it would have been worse. Hopefully we see a lot of the backups next week

Big Ten
Illinois Beat CMU 30-9. Decent win but that win over Kansas doesn't look as good now. Might be our 3rd hardest game?
UCLA Lost 42-13 against Indiana of all teams at home. Should be a nice warm up game for us heading into USC
USC Bye. We'll find out how good they are against Michigan next week. I think they win that one but Michigan's defense should keep it competitive.
Wisconsin Lost to Bama 42-10. Season over with the Van Dyke injury
Ohio State Bye. The winner of this game almost certainly plays in the Big Ten Conf Championship Game
Washington Lost 24-19 to Wazzu as they got stuffed on 4th & goal--bad loss--might be a long year for them
Purdue Lost 66-7 to an average ND team. Not a good sign
Minnesota Beat 27-0. A solid win. Too bad they didn't beat UNC--might be our 3rd hardest game this year?
Maryland Beat UVa 28-13. This was a good win for Maryland.

USC had a bye, but I think LSU's near miss at South Carolina leaves a lot of questions about how good they (LSU) are or aren't. That may take a little bit of the shine off of USC's performance against them when at the time they were ranked a lot higher.
