College Football: 25 Bold predictions for the Top 25 in Week 3

Postponed

Bold prediction: The Badgers shutout BYU. The Wisconsin defense is elite. BYU’s offense is pathetic. Those two together in one game spell trouble for the hometown Cougars. BYU is averaging 6.3 points per game. After Saturday that number will fall to 4.8 points per game and people start having to refresh the box scores out of a concern that they’ve accidentally pulled the stat sheet for BYU’s backup point guard on the basketball team.

Bold prediction: Oklahoma State scores two touchdowns each quarter. In Week 2, Penn State let Pitt hang around. Even if it was for just a short moment, the Panthers were able to control the clock and run the football. Pitt is able to move the ball, but Oklahoma State counters with a quick touchdown after every Panther drive. Before long Pitt gives up hope and starts to take to the air with very little success.

Bold prediction: J.T. Barrett has more turnovers than touchdowns, again. Last week Barrett struggled mightily against Oklahoma. The Buckeyes’ starting quarterback was 19-of-35 for 183 yards and an interception with 66 yards rushing. He did not get into the endzone. With questions surrounding the legitimacy of his claim to the starting job, Barrett lays another dud against an Army team and the chatter gets louder.
