Saturday's Tough Ones

Alabama over Miami. Alabama's concrete defense is too tough for even Miami's Mira.

Duke over Maryland. Both teams from behind, but Duke gets there first.

Kansas over Nebraska. Kansas will exploit Nebraska's soft spots.

Michigan State over Purdue. The Spartan runners will outshine Purdue's passers.

Northwestern over Wisconsin. But Tom Myers will have to be at his very best.

Penn State over West Virginia. The Lions attack too smartly for West Virginia.

Navy over Syracuse. Syracuse is still learning. Staubach's passes will win for Navy.

Arkansas over Rice. The busy Porkers have too much fat for paper-thin Rice.

USC over Stanford. In the air or on the ground, USC is stronger all-round.

Oregon over Washington State. Oregon is tougher on defense, faster on offense.
