Stubhub's rankings of resale values of game tickets. Pitt is #1 in lowest price per ticket:
1. Pitt ($39) 2. Purdue ($42) 2. Kansas ($42) 4. Maryland ($44) 5. Arizona ($45)
Just think, Pitt's price would be even lower if they didn't play us at home. Also happy to see the Turtles in that group. Their # would be higher if they would have kept playing us.

I am going to say 27 TD passes, which will exceed his # of rushing TDs.
Stewart and Beatty are going to continue to throw the ball until opposing teams stop putting 8-9 players in the box. That is why I love this offense. There is always a way to stop a particular offense (see USF, Pitt last year). However, now we will run plays based on what the defense is doing, not based on a hard-headed coach who refuses to adapt.

The front page of the Tribune sports page had a picture of dikrod at the postgame, even though Northwestern won their opener. I wonder if he told the Lionking joke after the game (LOL).

1. Quarterback - 5 stars, 25-33 (5 dropped passes), 208 yds., 5 TDs, one interception. Heisman-maybe. Pro quarterback, maybe. 2. Offensive line - 3 stars, not as good as advertised. 3. RBs and Receivers - 3 1/2 stars, too many dropped passes, otherwise impressive. Arnett is going to be a player, and did you see the arms on Will Johnson? 4. Rush defense - 1 1/2 stars, almost pathetic against a division 1-AA team 5. Pass defense - 1 1/2 stars, no pass rush to speak of in the first 2 1/2 quarters. 6. Special teams -4 stars. McAfee was impressive both kicking and punting, but we gave up too much yardage on kickoff returns.
399 total yards to a divison 1-AA team. This defense has a long way to go to compare to last season. Villanova had a very good quarterback. I don't want to diminish the way he played, but guess what, East Carolina's QB is even better. Our defense must be better next week.

1. Who will win time of possession? Fresno 2. Total number of first downs between the two teams? 39 3. Number of times FSU will sack Mike Teel? 4 4. What will Mike Teel's completion percentage be? 59% 5. Will Rutgers have a 100 yard rusher? no
DeHayes can't accuse me of copying his picks, since mine are in first. (I guess great minds think alike).
