Game day pick 'ems

Iowa at Indiana

Morehouse - I've been up since 4 a.m. I'm probably 200 or so feet above an Illinois farm field on the charter. Buddy Holly is on the iPod. Iowa 38, Indiana 20

Hlas - Bad week for me. I got scorned for having a bad Halloween costume (sexy robot), then voters bounced me off the Iowa Supreme Court. Iowa 42, Indiana 24

Pugliese - Even with dinged-up backfield and linebacker corps, Hawkeyes too good. Iowa 28, Indiana 14

Campbell - Both coaches can pick up their 100th win today. My money is on Kirk. Iowa 35, Indiana 21

Malicki - Election day is over. It was kinda nuts. I'm just grateful we don't put anchors on the ballot for a retention vote. Iowa 35, Indiana 21

Brooks - Ricky Stanzi gets a chance to again show his Heisman talent to move the offense and keep Iowa in the November chase for the title. I expect Indiana to move the ball through the air, but Iowa's defense carries the day big-time. Iowa 45, Indiana 18

Nebraska at Iowa State

Morehouse - Long day ahead. My wife (Dub-Dub) asked me how long I was going to be gone. I said, “The whole time.” Nebraska 28, Iowa State 14

Hlas - This is the 105th and final scheduled meeting of these two teams. Nebraska decided it wanted some new friends, so it joined the Big Ten. Was it something the Cyclones said? Nebraska 9, Iowa State 7

Pugliese - Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice ... Nebraska 21, Iowa State 10

Campbell - ISU wants our satellite truck in place 4 hours before kickoff. Malicki will have to get up early to get it there. Nebraska 9, Iowa State 7

Malicki - I'm sure the people of Nebraska are lovely, but everyone knows the team should be called “The Shuckers.” Nebraska 35, Iowa State 17

Brooks - The big nasty Red tries to get revenge at Jack Trice in last meeting as the Huskers move to the Big Ten. Improving ISU will make Huskers hustle, but Nebraska will celebrate. Nebraska 28, Iowa State 7

TCU at Utah

Morehouse - The alternative today was driving. Someone installed the deer whistles on the company car backward. Now, the deer hit us. TCU 27, Utah 24

Hlas - Don't believe the supermarket tabloids. John Campbell has never even met Charlie Sheen. Utah 21, TCU 20

Pugliese - One of the pretenders goes down. Utah 31, TCU 28

Campbell - I just remember Shaky Smithson running over, around and through the Cyclones. TCU beware! Utah 44, TCU 22

Malicki - The Ute Native Americans acquired horses from the Spanish in 1680. Just brushing up on my history before the big game. TCU 28, Utah 24

Brooks - A battle of unbeatens. After this, one team will still be in the BCS running. Even though Vegas likes TCU by 5, I'm going with the home folks. Utah 28, TCU 24.
