College Football Preview: Week 3

Notre Dame @ Michigan State

This is going to be a great game, as have many past ND-MSU games. The Spartans are the favorite by 3.5 points, but I see this one going either way. Michigan State is yet to face a major opponent, but they look like a decent team going into their first test. Notre Dame has looked good in the first two games, and if Dayne Crist stays healthy they could be a very good team.

I see the Irish taking this one assuming that Dayne Crist plays the complete game. He look very strong last week for the part of the game that he played, and I believe he is going to develop into a star player. Notre Dame has played pretty well in East Lansing in recent years, and I see them pulling it off.

My predicition: Notre Dame 30, Michigan State 28


Northern Illinois @ Illinois

The U of I had a strong outing last week against SIU, and I look for it to be a very similar game, full of deep passes and big-play defense. NIU has become a well known football school, but they still are no match for the Big Ten.

The Illini will not have too much trouble with the Huskies this Saturday, and will go 2-1.

Illinois 28, Northern Illinois 0
