Missouri at Purdue

The Boilermakers had decent expectations coming into the year but back-to-back losses have put this season in jeopardy.

Best hope Purdue has is catching the Tigers looking ahead to their game against Georgia next week.  I don’t see it happening.  Missouri 30-16.

South Florida at Illinois

Illinois is 2-0.  They won’t make it to 3-0.

The Fighting Illini struggled against Kent State and Western Illinois.  The Bulls will torch them through the air.  South Florida wins decisively 49-20.

Akron at Northwestern

The Wildcats have Michigan and Michigan State back-to-back after a bye next week so this is a must win game.
