Another week, another slate of games 

Lets just jump into it shall we

Nebraska v NIU

The Huskers come into this match up unranked after a collapse against Colorado. The Huskers have a nice balanced attack on offense while the defense is not very good stooping the pass, but stifles the run game, only allowing 86 yards a carry. NIU has no run game so they are forced to beat teams through the air, and against the Huskers, it could work. But unfortunately, Nebraska will be seeking redemption after Colorado. Nebraska

Tennessee v Chattanooga 

Good news Vol fans, Tennessee will finally get their first win. Both teams come into this matchup almost identical stats, The major difference is Tennessee's passing game, which they can utilize well against this FCS team. And while Tennessee has struggled over the last two weeks, unless your a team like UConn, they wont struggle against and FCS school at home. Tennessee

Mississippi St. v Kansas St.

MSU is as balanced of a team you can get as you can get They have a solid defense that holds offenses to just under 140 yards on the ground but allows 250 through the air. Kansas state loves the run game, averaging just shy of 350 yards a game. But the key to this game will be their defense as they hold teams to just over 100 yards in both the passing and ground games. I wouldn't be surprise if this game comes down to the wire. Kansas St.

#4 LSU v Northwestern St

The only strength this Northwestern St team has is the passing game. But even them its not going to be enough to topple the number 4 team in the nation at home. This will just be a bloodbath as LSU will just push NW St. in every direction their heart desires. LSU
