If you’re looking for a potential FCS upset bid in Week 3, you may have to look elsewhere because Western Illinois doesn’t stand a chance here. The Leathernecks went just 1-11 last season and things aren’t exactly looking up in 2020.

Western Illinois faced just one FBS team in 2019 and Colorado State won by 25 points. This one won’t be quite that close as Chuba Hubbard rushes for 100 yards in the first half and Tylan Wallace catches two touchdown passes.

Final Score: Western Illinois 10, Oklahoma State 52 (3-0)

Max Duggan stood out as the Horned Frogs’ starting quarterback of the future near the end of the 2019 season and the Iowa-native passed for 2,077 yards and 15 touchdowns after coming in as a four-star and No. 3 dual-threat in the country. He’ll be back to wreak some havoc on the Big 12.

Will that happen on Oct. 3 against the Cowboys of Oklahoma State who look like the favorites to win the conference at this point of the season? He’ll have a decent game, but it won’t be enough to pull off the upset at home.

Final Score: Oklahoma State 31, TCU 21 (4-0, 1-0 Big 12)
