Chuck's picks are coming later tonight, but he wanted me to post the following pick before the game tonight.

Nicholls State at #10 Northern Iowa. Talk about the tale of two seasons. Northern Iowa (2-2) hasn't only played four games, they've already entered league play after a tough loss to Missouri Valley Football Conference rival Southern Illinois 27-24 on a last-second field goal. Nicholls State, on the other hand, suffered through two game postponements due to hurricane damage and just started their season last week with a 31-10 defeat to FBS Memphis. The Colonels, whose triple-option attack saw only 4 pass attempts last week and a rushing attack that saw six different Nicholls State players get rushing attempts, feature defensive back Ladarius Webb and a ball-hawking secondary, while the Panthers, behind runningback Johnny Gray, have a balanced offensive attack and a traditionally solid defense. The almost-homeless Colonels, playing in their second game of the year, don't have the horses to keep up in the UNIDome.
Dry Cats 31, Wet Lieutenants 14.

While Johnny Gray sometimes runs on the reverse, he is primarily a wide receiver, not a running back.

Score is 7-7 with 6:10 left in the first...

Lewis works the UNI offense up on his legs...Pat Grace gets the final two yards on QB keeper for the TD.

21-14 UNI now. This looks like it is going to turn into a horse race and it does not appear the Colonels will be able to match up.

Mike Minter and yes he was terrible! I guess they'll hire anyone at ESPN.

The woman was pretty awful. At one point (right before the picks), she was looking down for 5-7 seconds. Just embarrassing...

Nicholls fumble. UNI has it in the Colonels red zone. Not looking good. UNI up 21-14 with less than 3:30 left in the third.
