B1G football early lean

[SpottedCow]

366 Northwestern -8 (BM) and over 54.

Northwestern seriously upgraded the qb position in the offseason with grad transfer Peyton Ramsey (Indiana). They also return previous starter TJ Green. HC Pat Fitzgerald recruited former Boston College OC Mike Bajakian to join him in Evanston. Bajakian runs an up tempo rushing attempt that should lead to a high number of offensive plays. Maryland has questions at qb with returning starter josh jackson upderperforming at the back half of 2019. Tualia Tagoviola could be the starting leading what should be a pass heavy offense.

Weather looks to be mid 40s and clear at kickoff

Northwestern
NW/Mary over 54.

I'll root you home, Cow.

I see where you're going with Northwestern's new OC.

As a dedicated UNDER bettor, I always have a hard time betting OVER,. especially early in the season.

I'll be interested in seeing if Big Ten teams in cold weather are able to score big points like their SEC counterparts in warm weather.

NU is missing offensive tackle Rashawn Slater who is sitting out the pandemic season to prep for the 2021 NFL Draft.

The Maryland-Northwestern contest is a night game at Ryan Field.

Kickoff time is set for 6:30 p.m. CT.

Unlike the other Power 5 conferences, the Big Ten does not plan to have fans in the stands.

-11 pretty much everywhere now. Nice call.

I’ll be stunned this Big 10 thang works. Maybe one of the best offensive side of the ball in my lifetime for OSU and it’s gonna go for naught

Not exactly off to a great start

News: #Gophers football coach PJ Fleck said Monday he knows current number of players unavailable due to #COVID19 for Saturday's game vs. Michigan, but he's clear he won't be sharing it. "Not 65," he added. Yet, there's limits on how much spread the U can have and still play.

i would never trust covid testing in urban centers, they are compulsive liars.

This freshman Wisconsin qb lighting it up.

16 for 16 and 4 tdS

Watching Wisconsin football makes one wonder if 1920 brand football beats 2020 brand. A fullback dive lead by a fullback.

Transfer portal: expect a call from Jack Coan.

I can hear someone talking to Mertz years from now. "I imagine the transition from Kansas HS QB to Wisky starting QB was rough. How was your first game?

"Not too rough.....20 of 21 with 5 TD passes." Conversation over.

 

[SpottedCow]

Minnesota coaching decisions have been horrible. Fleck is a clown

MN everything right now a bit of a disaster the 9 inch blizzard Tuesday the lone bright spot .....

Fabulous game for redshirt freshman Graham Mertz.

Drew comparisons to Baker Mayfield.

Though Mayfield stands only 6-feet and 5/8ths inches (NFL combine) while Mertz is listed 6-3.

Final score: Northwestern 43 Maryland 3.

EOG contributor SpottedCow beat the number AND the game.

The OVER fell short because Maryland's offense failed to score a touchdown.
