New offensive coordinator Robert McFarland likes to throw the ball and senior QB Brett Meyer (56.9% COMP, 2,546 YDs, 12 TDs, 12 INTs) does it quite well. He has senior Todd Blythe (34 REC, 484 YDs, 8 TDs) to catch the ball.

College football betting fans believe that with some good fortune they could be 3-1 but then go to Nebraska and Texas Tech and then play Texas and Oklahoma, and a road game at Missouri. Football betting fans know that it is not pretty but at least they finish up with Kansas, Kansas State and Colorado.
