It's Here
God bless today, September 2. College football returns once again, and Saturdays from now until January will be filled with incredible game after game.
First and Five's Predictions for the weekend:
Northern Illinois at Ohio State: NIU's Garrett Wolfe will give the Buckeyes a scare, but in the end the Husky defense is simply overmatched again the OSU defense. The #1 team gets off to a solid start, 34-20.
Stanford at Oregon: An underrated Pac-10 matchup this weekend, this should be a great high-scoring affair in Autzen Stadium. The Ducks are favored at home, but I'm taking the Cardinal in an upset, they're a great all-around team that's very underrated coming into this season. Stanford 38-30.
USC at Arkansas: John David Booty has more pressure on him than any player in college football. The Trojans are very vulnerable right now, but the Razorbacks just don't have the weapons to take them down. USC 31-17.
California at Tennessee: Cal comes in very highly rated with an Heisman contender running back in Marshawn Lynch. Tennessee hopes to rebound from a horrible 5-6 year in front of a huge crowd at Neyland Stadium. Close, close game, but I'll take the Golden Bears over the Vols, 28-27.
Florida State at Miami: This series is usually filled with tremendously talented and athletic players making sloppy plays in the spotlight. I expect the defenses to shine and overshadow the mediocre offenses. Seminoles over 'Canes, 17-10.
Notre Dame at Georgia Tech: The Fighting Irish come into the second season under Charlie Weis with championship aspirations. The Yellow Jacket's stiff defense will be a great proving ground for the best offense in the nation. In the end, the improved Notre Dame defense will force Reggie Ball into turnovers and easy points, and it won't be close. Irish 42-17.
