Opponent Update -- Week #3

Probably the most discouraging news of the weekend was the CMU perfomance against Purdue (L 22-45). Anyone that got a chance to watch the first half of that one knows that the Chippewas didn't even belong on the field with Purdue. SE Louisiana stepped down a notch and posted a ludicrous 79-7 score agains Kentuckey Wesleyan, doubling the win total for KU's non-cons (2-10).

So, 0-3 Florida International is another cupcake right? Maybe, but they've played an insane schedule and only the only blow out was at Penn State (59-0). Keeping the scores respectable against Maryland and Miami should be an indicator that the 'Hawks need to bring their "A" game. Are the Panther's beat up emotionally after that stretch or are they getting better? We'll see on Saturday.

Non-Con prediction -- Last week, I went out on a limb to predict the SLU win. This week, I'll say that Toledo drops one in the Glass Bowl to ISU, which will frustrate KU fans.
