a few game notes........


WKU / Tenn
  *not much difference between these 2 really...
Toppers with 393 TO...21 FD...8-15 3rd...5.0/rush...5.6/play
Vols.........382......20......4-10.......5.3........6.0
WKU with 7 TO's (5 INT / 2fum).....always bet on the same team as the QB....

Kentucky / Mia,O
  *Cats with 675 TO to 122 for UM (2.3/rush...1.6/att < damm)...UK sloppy too with 11 pen for 117 yds

BG / Kent St
  *looks like BG with new QB and RB....is pretty good
576 TO....4.8/rush and 357 passing (19-25..2/0)
  RB Archer DNP for the Flashes

Mich St / USF
  *Sparty O is terrible...used 3 QB's...265 TO...4-14 on 3rd.....2 fumbles + 9 pen
   Good thing USF is worse....155 TO....QB 6-26-1 (2.5/att) << Logan Thomas numbers....

SELA 207 rushing vs TCU...former Duck QB Bennett 132...

FAU / EC
  *that FAU D is not bad....and a great gog too
  EC only 312 TO...3.2/rush...5-13 3rd...16 FD...4.9/att
  FAU OL is weak....allowed 6 sacks....+ 3TO's...FAU 3.8/paly

Navy / Ind
  *navy scored on EVERY possession but 1...Hoosiers on 5/8
   Navy 458 rushing....that was it

Smiss / Neb
  *SM O is terrible....284 TO vs that mighty Husker D (4.4) + 4 INT
     up-tempo offense that can't sustain drives...wears out thier D

TEXAS / BYU
  *Taysom Football wtf?...poorly coached..spineless...lethargical Horns allowed 681 TO to BYU
including 550 rushing (7.6/att)....32 FD...10-21 3rd...Mormons sloppy too (2 TO / 8 pen)
Horns zero TO / 4 pen.....note : BYU struggled to move it vs Virginia (362 TO...3.9/play)

NT / Ohio
  *thought MG woulddo better here...OG 442 > 299...14 FD /4-14 3rd
    Ohio sloppy (10 pen / 3 TO)....ran for 203  (5.1)

Wazzu / USC
  *Wazzu D is pretty good (told ya...ha)....Trojans 182 TO (3.2/rush...2.2/pass)...14 FD / 3-13 3rd
    USC sacked 3X ..Wazzu not much better,,,2 INT / 4 sacks....225 TO

Oreg / Virg
  *Ducks 557 to 298 TO...but 3-10 3rd and 11 pen....might struggle vs tough run D's until a RB emerges
   (struggle to cover big numbers that is)

Baylor / Buffalo
  *Bears 781 TO vs a pretty good D (seriously)....Baylor av 9.8/play but had 10 pen for 125 yds

Tenn-Chat / Ga ST
  *Ga St is really bad....TC with 401 rushing

NCARO / MTS
  *UNC not as explosive as I thought....and too weak in the trenches
only 3.3/rush....D allowed 26 FD...8-18 3rd...401 TO

Fla / Mia
  *strange game....Gators OG the Canes 413 > 212....Miami 10 FD...1-11 3rd....QB Morris 12-25...162...2/1
BUT....gators with 5 (very costly) TO's + 10 pen.....QB JD stinks....still

Book,    Thanks for the work.  I hope your having a good start to the season.

I won't get to play W. Ill., Nicholls St., or Lamar  Sunday but hope I can get those lines later.  FCS has been very good to me so far.

If V. Tech is only -3 I'll go with them but I like Maryland and Arkansas.
Glad to see you like UCLA, I think they do fine this week. I also like @ Pitt -16 N. Mex.

GL,   Doc

adding....

one unit

FAU +10'
Rice -2

*FAU shut down a potent ECaro offense.....sacked QB 6X ....Pirates only 4.9/play....
 respectable vs Miami too...6-7... 3 n'outs + a pick
Canes only 4-14 on 3rd.....long runs + D on field too long......USF O is terrible....this one will be very ugly / tight....USF QB so far 25-66...275 (37%)

Rice OG the Aggies 509-486.....and had 306 rushing....with 38-22 TOP edge
They beat Kansas there LY 25-24....OG them 403-339....Rice looks to be much improved.....Jayhawks weaker in the trenches
This is Kansas' 2nd game.....LW allowed SDakota (#181 in Sagarin PR....1-11 LY) 219 rushing (5.1)...but won 31-14

"UH quarterback David Piland, who was 6-for-17 for 72 yards in the first quarter, was replaced by true freshmanJohn O'Korn in the second quarter. Levine said the decision for Piland not to return for the remaining three quarters was based on an undisclosed injury and the performance of O'Korn, who was 23-of-31 for 233 yards"


OKorn looks like he can sling it...I like this Houston team.  


Cinn and TCU both had 2 QBs, now if they have only 1 that is probably a good thing.


I like Ohio St/Cal over whatever number and no matter who starts for Ohio St.

This is the problem with any playoff proposal.  Sure, you wind up with some deserving teams, but do you really want to spend the whole offseason hearing FIU, GSU and EMU fans whine about how they didn't get to settle it on the field?

Awesome info Bookie.  Hoping you had some info on some games that caught my eye right away.  

Louisville 11.5 Kentucky  Bridgewater should be able to win this game by 14.

Maryland 7.5 UConn  Two teams going in opposite directions.  Huskies lose to Towson while the Terps put over 80 on FIU and ODU.  Backing the Terps which could be the biggest play this week IMO.

South Carolina 12.5 Vandy  The Cocks at home and at night.  That's a combination that will be too much for Vandy.

By the way, really like the UCLA and ECU picks.  I will be on them.

love the Terps....gonna wait and see what that line does

Louisville I don't trust just yet...but that line should be 15-16 or so....Cats are getting too much credit for pounding a bad team....so great value
 * does look like a great spot for UK to get spanked

Vandy only in an FCS sandwich and plays SCaro tough...SC off a really tough game....might even lean Vandy if it climbs some....

good man SC.....BOL this week...........
