Well it looks like Kansas State is back on track. Despite only out-gaining Kansas 460-331, they won 59-7.
#20 Oklahoma State plays at Texas Tech. OSU struggled a little bit in the first half last week against Lousiana-Lafayette but finished strong. They'll need to keep the momentum going this week as they host #5 Nebraska and then travel to Kansas State. The last half of their schedule is not very easy, aside from a road game at Kansas. Both teams have a passing offense in the top 4 and a passing defense in the bottom 7. Oklahoma State can run the ball better and scores more points, and I think they'll come away with the win setting up a big game against Nebraska next week.
This week, Nebraska plays a home game against Texas. Texas has had two disappointing losses in a row to UCLA and #8 Oklahoma. Nebraska is averaging 337 yards per game on the ground alone, and Texas is only letting up 104 rushing yards per game. Something has got to give there. Taylor Martinez will probably have a big day, but I doubt he'll have the big plays that he has been having lately. It will be a defensive struggle and I think Nebraska will come out on top and Texas will have a three game losing streak for the first time since 1999.
The line for BYU at #4 TCU is somewhere around 30. I'll be surprised if TCU wins by less than 40, and this is just a testament to how far BYU has fallen this year as they are 2-4 right now.
Watch for #19 Nevada to struggle traveling to Hawaii. Hawaii has the #1 pass offense in the country, but I think Nevada's balanced attack will stay on the field for the majority of the game and outlast Hawaii.
