Last Saturday was a bold predictor’s dream.
In this column, we teed up four dice rolls for the first weekend of October: a hangover for Florida, a huge day for Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith against a top Iowa defense, BYU blowing out TCU and Minnesota beating Michigan. No fewer than three of those predictions came true—Missouri blew out the Gators, Smith caught 11 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns, and the Golden Gophers wrested back the Little Brown Jug. (The Cougars won, but only by a touchdown).
