Temple-Army

Army -13 over Temple ****
Short week since they are playing Thur nite . Army's option is no match for Owls defense. Army is avg almost 356 yds per game on the ground. { think they led the nation in rushing yds}. This will cause Owls with limited possessions and playing catch-up. Ball control with Armys triple option zone attack. Monken Army coach changed some of his offensive schemes last year but at some point realized let me get back to out triple option . Army is now in the ACC conf as is Temple. Army has Dailey at QB and he is probably one of the best they have had in years He can throw the ball and of course run. He had 1,000 yds passing and rushing. Army had to replace a lot on defense but with the ball control offense Owls will get limited opportunities . It's the system that the Owls defense has to face. By the time they figure out how to stop Army they are down 21-0 and then Army will just pound the ball the whole game. Think Army wins by 3 td's and plays ball control and wins the line of scrimmage ..

@Box and one

 BOL Thursday 

thanks guys  Monken because of the " chop blocking rules has changed his strategy running his veer or triple option or zone offense. But no matter  what he run.s Teams don't practice against it and see it only once a year.  I relate to it because I would use the box and one defense and my opposing teams had to adjust  Plus I knew the 2 or 3 offenses to attack it and then I would adjust. Knowing how your opponent uses it helps  Then I would make another adjustment because I would know what the other coach was doing attacking my box. This was taught to me by Al McGuire and his " mosquito defense" Have a few more games Love Texas Longhorns again Will post later . Think I'm drinking all the Longhorn Kool aide here in Austin  but as long as they win big cover the spread the Kool aide is sweet

  Texas -38.5 over Miss St ****

 Ewers is questionable but his back up Manning could be better. . Miss St " is breaking in a new QB" after Shapen hurt his shoulder. He is a freshman and will face a tough Texas D. Their top RB has 158 yds rushing,Miss St coach knows Texas since he coached  last yr at OU . But this is his 1st year as a head coach. Miss St was preseason picked 15th in the SEC.  New coach new QB vs the No 1 team in the country  Think Longhorns aren't over confident and with Manning steering the ship think they put on a stampede on the bulldogs. Baxter Texas RB is out but Blue is back and Weisnart and  Gibson are waiting in the wings to replace the starters . There is such a little drop off because they have so many blue chip 3-4 stars kids on the bench waiting and itching to play. Think Texas OL dominates the line of scrimmage and with Manning under center its another blowout win. Last year when Miss St played the tough teams in their conference they were beaten big LSU 41-7,Tex AM 51-10 and Bama 40-17. Also think Texas Defense stops rookie QB and shuts him down. Texas wrs Bond and Golden have big days because Bulldogs won't put pressure on Texas QB. Ewers if he plays is the real deal but seeing Manning play is even more amazing. Has big time arm and is mobile ,, Think Texas wins big and shuts down Bulldogs   55-7 .

 Texas St -8 over Sam Houston ***

 UTSA +4 over ECU ***

FAU -29 over Wagner ***

 North Texas -6.5 over Tulsa **  good luck to everyone  this week 

Good luck Box.  

Could buy Army for 11.5 now on FD. Temple or nothing at that line

Think Army off. line dominates the line of scrimmage and will own the possession clock Pressure is on the Owls to take advantage of the clock  Temples weakness stopping the run is Army strength is rushing the ball And again Army's QB is really good   And Temple practiced all week against there 2nd team or scout team .Army wins big and covers
