Title: Week 5 Preview
Post by: MaximumSam on September 22, 2019, 07:32:43 AM

Friday Night at 8 pm

Penn State at Maryland, FS1: Competing with high school football brings us these two programs, in a game that should answer some questions about both.  

Saturday, noon

Rutgers at Michigan, BTN: Nothing helps a savaged soul like a visit from Mr. Rutger.

Northwestern at Wisconsin, ABC: The next stop on Wisconsin's revenge tour

Middle Tennessee at Iowa, ESPN2: Well, this game exists

3:30

Indiana at MSU, BTN: MSU tries to keep things rolling

Minnesota at Purdue, ESPN2: Cardiac Gophs against Turnover Boilers

7:30

Ohio State at Nebraska, ABC: Gameday coming to Lincoln for the Frost-Day showdown, just as we all predicted three years ago.

Nationally, not a ton.  Virginia goes to Notre Dame and USC goes to Washington.  Might have to watch more PAC football after last night.

defensive slugfest like last season

less than 1,000 total yards and fewer than 70 total points?

A bit of a light slate there.  UVA at ND is interesting.  OSU looks a lot better than I expected playing pastries.  Nebraska is not looking as good as I expected.

Wisconsin is a machine.  I don't foresee any let down.

It seems like turnovers are Nebraska's achilles heel. The backs and receivers need to lug a football to classes this week.
