Early Games Open Thread

Just getting it set up. No, it doesn't make the next 8 hours go any faster.  But here's hoping it's a short third of a day.

Toledo looks good right now - OSU might be in more trouble than many thought at the start of the year.

MSU looks profoundly bleh against the fghting Howard Schnellenbergers, but whatever.  Should be interesting to see them next week against 0-2 ND.

Wiscy looks okay against Oregon St, but I still feel like they are missing enough players on defense that they'll lose a couple games this year.  Wilson looks fine at QB, but Wiscy doesn't know how to use him properly within their normal offense, and they don't seem poised to give him free reign.

See, I agree the defense looks better, but I'm not sold on the OL from a run-blocking sense.  Bell and Baker look okay, but outside of Bell's 20-yard scamper they are averaging about 5 yards a pop against one of the worst defensive teams they'll see this year.  And the funny thing with MSU is that they have some of the better WRs in the league - they should be gunning it around way more than they tend to.  I think that is a Dantonio thing about ball control, but they terrify me as a passing team; as a running team, I feel like they are beatable.

13-6 CMU leads with 6 remaining in the 2nd

EDIT: Kentucky gets a interception back to around the CMU 15 but gets held and misses the field goal. Central's defense has been steping it up big time so far today
