It will be interesting if the hurricane affects any of the Florida games. Orlando should be fine for a game on Sunday

However if it causes major damage I am not sure it would look good if 2 hours down the road Tampa is still in the recovery phase from a storm that hit that week

It's already affecting Florida's travel plans to SLC for their game against Utah on Thursday. They were initially set to fly out on Wednesday. Now they'll go from Gainesville to Dallas on Tuesday, practice and spend the night there, and then travel to SLC on Wednesday.

Yeah I just now realized Walters has one heck of a schedule in his first year....

Fresno St
@Va Tech
Syracuse
Wisconsin
Illinois
@Iowa
tOSU
@Nebraska
@Michigan
Minny
@Northwestern
Indiana

Didn't Purdue lose a lot of production too? Those first 3 are all winnable, but if they're not ready to hit the ground running you could easily make a case for them going 0-10 to start the season.

So who do we watch tonight?
FL at Utah or a BIG Ten match up between teams that we will be playing later on?

So far both Nebbie and Minny flying all over the field. Very entertaining. Still in the first quarter.

Watching Minnesota-Nebraska. Kaliakmanis does fine when given a clean pocket. Under any pressure though he gets very skittish, same as last year, and will be a turnover machine against teams with decent DBs. Don't have much of any take on Nebraska yet other than their coverage needs work
