This team gets little respect. I don't expect a expect a big falloff, if any overall, in this team from last year. They lost key skills players on offense and that shouldn't be underestimated. But on defense, I expect them to be even better. They kind of remind me of Stanford in their approach on defense (big, tough, and physical). Utah State +3.5, Purdue +14, and Northwestern -7 would be my only bets on week 1 if I can get these lines.
