Indiana vs. Kentucky - 7 pm
Why to watch: Is Kentucky really this good? After thumping Louisville right out of the Top 25 and its BCS dreams and then hanging 77 points on UTEP, the Wildcats have looked tremendous to start the season. Indiana has struggled out of the gate getting thumped by Utah and struggling against William & Mary. A win here would jump start the Gerry DiNardo era.
One reason why Indiana might win: Kentucky is playing well, but it doesn't have the type of power running game that this Hoosier team will have problems with. The IU offensive line looks to be O.K. and if the quarterbacks have time, maybe they can make plays.
One reason why Kentucky might win: Confidence is everything. The team is play well and more importantly, it's playing fast. RB Artose Pinner is making big plays and QB Jared Lorenzen is making lightening quick decisions. The Hoosiers don't have the offense to keep up if this gets into a shootout.
Matchup to watch: Pinner vs. the IU linebackers. Pinner is the home run hitting running back the UK offense has been lacking while the Hoosier linebackers have been nearly non-existent.
What will happen: It won't put up 77 points, but the Wildcats are playing far too well on offense for IU to keep up. The Hoosiers are still about four or five games away from having the type of team to win a game like this.
Must Watch Rating (5 must see - 1 get in line for tickets to the American Idol tour): 2
Line: Oasis Line: Kentucky -16.5 | NASA line: Kentucky -16.5
CFN Prediction: Kentucky 38 ... Indiana 21
So the great question, what's the score gonna be? I'll say:
UK 45
IU 14
