Louisville hasn't put up much of a fight on the defensive side of the ball.  I just thought it bore mentioning.

 

Without Jackson, Louisville is pretty bad. He should win the Heisman again for getting this close to outpacing his own defense, especially with that offensive line.

I would have to think it has something to do with their having given up an average number of picks as well (that he has to do too much).  They've fumbled quite a bit, though, is what's driving their negative turnover margin.

We moved up two spots on a bye.  That's how bad everyone else was.

8. Nebraska (3-4, 2-2). The Cornhuskers were off. Maybe the time off will allow Nebraska to regroup for a strong finish.
Last week: 10
Up next: at Purdue

 

11. Purdue (3-4, 1-3). The offense is inept, scoring one TD in the last two games. How will the Boilermakers respond to the numbing loss at Rutgers?
Last week: 7
Up next: Nebraska

Sagarin's predictor currently has Purdue -7.5 this Saturday.  I'm anxious to see what Vegas says.

 

Huskers are 2-5 against the spread this season.  Purdue is 5-2.

 

Vegas Insiders is showing Purdue -6.5.  Not an official opening line but from offshore sites.

Thats how bad BTN was. They had Purdue overrated, so when Purdue loses a game Purdue otherwise dominates, they over correct based on a flawed expectation level.

 

Their new 10th place team, that jumps up 3 spots, was held to 8 first downs last week.
