    -#14 TAMU vs. #18 Arkansas at JerryWorld - a traditional game from the past, that will now happen every year for the foreseeable future

    -#3 Bama @ #12 Florida - CBS
    -#8 Nebraska @ #7 Wisc - ABC; the two best matchups of the week happen at the same time--all of you except BO and the ladies will miss these because they start at the same time as the priesthood session of GC

    I am interested in seeing how Wisconsin plays they have yet to play anybody good but they have been destroying teams. However I think the teams they played have like 1 combined win.

      I am interested to see if Wisconsin's o-line can create the same holes versus the Blackshirts. Their o-line has absolutley dominated their competition thus far. I think Nebraska is a little overrated, but like you said we don't know for sure if Wisconsin is also overrated. This is the game I am most looking forward to this weekend other than BYU.

          Ha. I'll actually miss the match-ups because I'll be on row 3 in section N25 of RES. I will be able to record Bama/UF at the same time as the Utah game, though!

                Unless something changes soon, odds are that Wisconsin's O-line will open up some holes against the Blackshirts. Nebraska's Front 7 were supposed to be one of the better units in the Big Ten this year but so far the results have been less than impressive:

                I think Wisconsin's Montee Ball and James White are licking their chops right now. If Fresno St. and Washington can run the ball on Nebraska, Wisconsin has got to think they won't have much of a problem. Even Wyoming tried to control the clock and shorten the game by running on the Blackshirts.

                As a Nebraska fan, the only positive I have is that the Huskers have faced a couple of good offenses in Fresno St. and Washington. So they have seen some of their problems and have already made some personnel changes and scheme adjustments. Only hope is that Wisconsin hasn't had the same opportunity with their light OOC schedule.

                Agree that Nebraska is a bit overrated so far this year. They should be ranked but are not playing like a Top Ten team thus far. Not the case with Wisconsin, the Badgers have looked every bit like a Top Five team.

                  Ute fans, what are you thinking tonight about this Pitt team? They look much better tonight than they did against the Domers. In fact, they look really good.

                    This is the first Pitt game that I've watched where I felt they were actually a top 30 team.

                      They are wearing out USF's defense with their pace. It works when you are getting yards, not so much when you are 3 and out, which they were frequently against nd

                        Btw, Chase Hansen of Lone Peak looks legit. It's the first time I've seen him play.

                          This is the second time I have seen him. I saw him at Davis. I can't believe he will play LB at Utah. He is better than WYnn right now.

                            USF has given up. They need more recruits that want to play by NFL cities.

                              I'm surprised that he wouldn't wan to play QB. He has the frame of a future NFL QB.
