The updated line for the Iowa vs. Iowa State tilt is Iowa by 13. If Drew Tate is healthy, Iowa should cover easily.

For Week 3, laxative is really loading up and offering his one time only "Chicken Dinner Winner" with Southern Cal covering in a "you're not quite ready for prime time" blowout of the Huskers.

The over/under for this game is 15,000 Nebraska fans. Again, we're taking the over.

Gotta agree here. I'm expecting close to 25,000 huskers. Any excuse to get out of Nebraska...I kid, I kid.

To describe Week 3 as a little bit of a down week is a vast understatement. GrayBear and dubbs11 were the big winners this week at 3-2.

Louisville was impressive and lost another key starter. To be honest, I wasn’t really impressed with either Southern Cal or Nebraska. Resorting to trickeration (Nebraska’s successful fake punt) seemed like desperation. I was surprised that Southern Cal didn’t score a few more touchdowns. Maybe it was the non-stop second half interruptions for the tornado warning, but Husker Nation truly believed that they were in the game and could come back. Florida-Tenn was an exciting game and I was really pulling for Army and the upset. Army’s stop on 4th and 1 to get the ball back towards the end of the game was ridiculous.

Bste, what is wrong with the Hawkeye offense? They didn’t do a whole lot against the allegedly weak Cyclone defense.

Teams are stacking the box against the run so Albert Young can't do anything and Tate was rusty as hell in the first half. They got things going in the second half.

Nothing that Saturday's game can't cure in a hurry.
