Week 3

The Cats face the fearsome Akron Zips in a must-win game Saturday night.

The 21 point spread favoring the Cats gives the Fish Head trepidatious gills. The Cats looked very flat against Duke, and can not afford a slow start against the Zips, who pummeled the always tough Morgan State Bears in week 2, after battling Nebraska to a scoreless (and playless) tie in week 1.

Key matchups to watch are Kato Nelson versus Clayton Thorson, and Jeremy Larkin versus Van Edwards. Fish Head expects the Cats to come out hot looking for a high scoring first quarter, which will excite all the folks in the $2 cheap seats, before it settles into a defensive struggle the rest of the way.

Don’t make your bowl reservations quite yet.

Thanks Fish Head! I always enjoy your insightful and accurate comments. NU always has to have an early season flopper, so I am still bowl hopeful. --Big G
