Week 3 TV schedule, with predictions. Thanks, LA programming options.
9:00 AM – Cal at Maryland. Cal is a little worse than they’ve looked, Maryland a little better. Maybe. Cal 34, MD 17.
9:30 AM – Washington State at Baylor. Neither team has much, but Baylor is definitely more competent than Wazzu. Baylor 26, WSU 17.
12:30 PM – Michigan at Notre Dame. Michigan has a future, Notre Dame does not (at least without major changes). Wolverines 23, Irish 9.
4:00 PM – Auburn at Mississippi State. I am not sold on Auburn’s offense, but I don’t see MSU doing anything against that D. Auburn 24, MSU 6.
4:45 PM – Oklahoma at Washington. The Sooner Schooner will ride in Seattle, but I think Jake Locker will get his. Still, way too much Oklahoma offense and not enough Huskies to keep Ty Willingham’s job. Oklahoma 45, Washington 16.
5:07 PM – Ohio State at Southern California. I just do not see any way OSU wins this game. I also don’t see a blowout here, because I think OSU’s D will bring it and there’s a possibility that Mark Sanchez will have trouble taking care of the ball. I think OSU’s best and perhaps only chance is a 200 yard performance from Beanie and some timely work from Boeckman. Trojans 27, Buckeyes 13.
7:30 PM – Wisconsin at Fresno State. I don’t know how much of an upset this is, but Wisconsin will not bully FSU the way they bullied Marshall. Wisco has always had a tendency to take a few games off on offense, and I have a sneaking suspicion that this is the week. Bulldogs 27, Badgers 24.
