College Football Week 2
Well, I was 4-0 last weekend, but I’m not going to get carried away, all four of our teams were underdogs and not many people had any of them winning. This weekend is not going to be much different, but I predict we will get our first win of the year, and from the team that got waxed last weekend.
CAL-WSU
Oh boy. This could be ugly. Cal is much better than Oklahoma State is, and the Cougars looked outmatched at times last weekend. That being said, the Cougs are better than the Cougs were as well. What happened to Brandon Gibson last week? I predict that this week he will catch everything thrown to him, and maybe even some passes that are thrown to other receivers. He’s too good for any more of that nonsense. Playing in Martin Stadium should give the Cougs a boost, well it better anyway. If the Cougar defense plays as well as they did last weekend, the offense plays like it started to show they can in the second half, and the special teams at least get in the way of the Bears returners, this game will be closer than last week. The only problem is, all of those things have to happen just to keep this close.
Cal-38
WSU-17
#15 BYU-UW
Oh boy. This Could be ugly. Didn’t I say that already? The dawgs looked terrible in the second half last week at Oregon, and BYU looked awful in their game with Northern Iowa. The difference is, BYU still won big, and the Huskies got crushed. Husky Offensive Coordinator Tim Lappano says he’s going to open up the playbook… are you sure?? The four plays that you ran last week wasn’t good enough? This team will only compete this year when Jake Locker is super-human. The new young running backs and receivers don’t look like they will do much. I was impressed with freshman tight end Kavario Middleton. The bad news for the Huskies is their defense, man were they bad. Expect another long year for the purple and gold.
BYU-43
UW-20
EASTERN WASHINGTON-COLORADO
Who would have thought that Eastern would be the most competitive last weekend when they were supposed to get boat raced? I didn’t. Eastern showed a lot last weekend, but I don’t expect them to be any closer to Colorado. The Buffs are more physical than Texas Tech, they are at altitude, and Colorado saw how close the Eagles were at the half last week. Add to that the Buffs lost to a Big Sky team a couple years ago, Eastern is not sneaking up on anyone here. I hope the Eags can repeat their performance of a week ago, but two straight big school teams will be too much.
EWU-17
Colorado - 49
The great potato state battle. So our local teams are 0-4, and so far I have them going 0-3 this weekend, and Idaho lost 70-0 last week. But wait, Idaho wins! They better. There aren’t a lot of “must win” games in week 2 of a season for a team that isn’t supposed to win a lot of games, but this is “must win.” If Idaho loses to Idaho State, they risk going oh-fer this year, and Robb Akey will be in trouble. That can’t happen, he won’t let it. The next three games are “winnable” games for Idaho, and if they can pull at least two of them out, there is hope in Moscow. If not, yikes.
