College Gameday and Early Games Open Thread 10/01

Submitted by Jeff on

College Gameday is in Madison for the Nebraska-Wisconsin game.  They just made their Big Ten picks (I think all were unanimous):

  • Ohio State over Michigan State
  • Penn State over Indiana
  • Illinois over Northwestern
  • Notre Dame over Purdue
  • Desmond says Michigan has a surprise.... (they win big!)

They're obviously saving the Neb-Wisc pick for the end of the show.  If I made a mistake on any of those picks, let me know.  I'm not paying 100% attention to it.

Checking in on other games at halftime.

Northwestern is up 14-10 on Illinois.  They're winning but not doing much on offense against Illinois even with Persa back.  They have 4 drives that were three-and-out and two touchdown drives of 69 and 36 yards for a total of 116 yards.  Illinois is moving it pretty well (205 yards) but has two turnovers.

Penn State and Indiana are playing quite a snoozefest in a 3-3 game.  It's too bad we're not playing either of those teams.  We need to restart our winning streak against Penn State.
