Big day today for some of us. Here are my thoughts on what
our teams must do to come out victorious this Saturday.
#20 NotreDame (2-0) vs. #10 MSU (2-0)
Notre Dame must find a way to offset the powerful defense
of MSU and give Everett Golson plenty of time to do his thing and hopefully establish
a running game this week. Cierre Wood will be back this week after a two week suspension.
That will give the Irish three powerful
players in the backfilled; Ciere Wood, Theo Riddick and George Atkinson III. Secondly,
the Irish defense, led by Manti Te’o, must stop Le’Veon Bell. Not an easy task. If they can they can pull off the
upset.
Mole’s Prediction:
MSU 28 - ND 17 (but hoping for the
reverse)
#2 USC (2-0) vs. #21 Stanford
SC’s biggest hurdle is to defend against the psychological
game. No one on that team, including the Golden Boy, has ever beaten the Cardinals.
Also, depending on whether they have a freshman center starting or not, might
have some OL issues. Bottom-line, on paper they are a shoe in.
Mole’s
Prediction: SC 35 - Stanford 14
Michigan (1-1) vs. UMASS (0-2)
Michigan must, must, must do one thing to win this game. Show up. This won’t be another Appalachian State.

Prediction: UMASS 0 - Michigan A
Lot!
#5 Oklahoma vs. NOBODY – Bi-week
Another easy win for the “Good ole OK Boys”. This
week will be about as tough as the last two weeks were. All Oklahoma needs to
do is just stay home and revel in their highly overrated AP ranking. Bask in the
glory, the glory of such victories as a 27-7 win over the studs at UTEP. And showdown
of the century, yes, the unbelievable 69-13 victory over the amazing powerhouse
know as Florida A&M. You are the team to beat this year, oh Sooner Nation. You
are the team!
Mole’s
Prediction: More inflated egos
And my “Just for good measure” game
SDSU vs. North Dakota
Haven’t really followed either team this year but I
would think the boys at SDAU could handle ND (North Dakota, not Notre Dame).
Mole’s Prediction:
SDSU 38 – ND 10
