[Dennis W. Brandt]

> * PENN STATE 55, Akron 17 – Royster should have a field day for the Lions, 
> who really won’t be challenged the first month and should roll up some 
> impressive numbers as they climb in the rankings.
>
> * PURDUE 30, Akron 23 – Hope and company need to win now since their 
> September schedule is a lot tougher than the rest of the league. It will 
> be a rough year for fans in West Lafayette as the countdown to Painter’s 
> crew and hoops season is already under way.

Poor Akron.  They have to play Penn State and Purdue at the same time.  Talk 
about split squads!

> * NORTHWESTERN 27, Towson 7

NORTHWESTERN 54, Towson 3 unless NU is up by 38 in the first half.  Then 45 
to 10.
