No handlebar mustache, no problem: NU 23, SYR 10

Play of the game: Brendan Smith jumps a route, picks it off and heads to the house. Smith's sixth career pick gives NU a two-score advantage and earns him a hug from Fitz. The clean-shaven junior, who sported a days-of-yore mustache in the spring, has given the Cats some breathing room.

In related news, Ohio State stud running back Beanie Wells had to be helped off the field in the Buckeyes' season opener against Youngstown State. Tough break for the Heisman hopeful, but it may bode well for NU.
