Alright well that was not a very good Week 1 but Week 2 seemed to do a little uplifting for me. The site was down so no recorded record on site so we will keep all wins and loses out of the record here. Week 3 seems to be confusing with all of the tOSU vs. USC hype going around it has been extremely difficult for me to look into much else!
UAB +30 vs. Tennessee: I have been around the UTK practice field and they have been going in nuetral at practice. They seem very lathargic and I do not see this team beating UAB by 30 points with Florida on the helm next week. It seems like even if they get up by that large amount the second teir and their teir players will be in for garbage time and thats when UAB could back door. I see too many oportunties for UAB to cover and is why I am 90% sure they will be a play this week. This will still be a smaller unit play do to the fact that Tennessee has so many playmakers that did not get the ball last week and if they did this week... watch out. I think Hardesty will continue to get more and more carries. He seems to be the back. Foster is still held in there because of the record he is approaching. 6.5 yards per carry against UCLA is a scary stat. I will be in attendance and hoping for a 31-3 win.
Michigan -1 vs. Notre Dame: Michigan is another team that I have been tailing for two weeks straight, resulting in a 0-2 start for me. It is only a matter of time before the OL picks it up and Threet gets comfortable with his surroundings. Notre Dame looks like the same Notre Dame of late and seemed even less disciplined on the defensive side of the ball. I think this Notre Dame defense misses assignments against Michigan and the spread and causes some big plays leading to points. As pointed out on another thread, Notre Dame left points on the field against SDSU and I'm not sure they will even be in the position to leave them against the Michigan defense. The Michigan defense will be ready and the offense will be clicking better and better each week. The play here is Michigan.
NC State vs. Clemson -18.5: Clemson is a great team that simply was not ready for Alabama. I think they can come out here and get their offense ROLLING. NC State has looked attrocious at times and show no signs of light vs. a South Carolina team. The QB play of Smelley was too much for the Pack to handle and I see Cullen Harper having a great day throwing to Stuckey and Spiller and Davis out of the backfield. Clemson also will be able to stick to their running attack through out the game. NC State defense looked okay early but the lack of offense took a toll on them vs. USC. I see this game maping out to be Clemson up 7-13 at half and a romping in the second half. I have doubted the ACC all season but this week I have three plays on them. Next UNC and Maryland.
UNC +6 vs. Rutgers: The Rutgers looked like they had no idea what was going on vs. Fresno State and simply did not have enough man power on the offensive line or defensive line to cause an impact. Their playmakers have a ton of speed but Teel rarely had enough time to make an accurate throw and to get them in space. They were also unable to perform in the red zone, and that is where it matter. Rutgers kicker was horrendous on FGs and I definitely see an advantage to the UNC special teams which could play a vital roll in this game. UNC and Rutgers are very evenly match and I can see T.J. Yates doing some damage with the WR corre of UNC. Greg Little averages 5.1 a carry in 2007 but had difficulties getting is going vs. McNeese State which has me worried. I look forward to the game and it appears the public is hitting Rutgers hard. Look forward to the Thursday Night special!
California vs. Maryland +15: Ah yes, the Terps! The Terrapins sturggled mightily vs. the Blue Raiders in Murfreesboro this past week and had many problems at the QB positiion. Turner had these same problems early last year and blossomed into some what of an okay QB for the Terps later on in the year. Scott has had two tremendous games and continues to run the ball hard behind this O-Line. Josh Portis, the transfer from Florida, continues to grab reps at the QB spot to come in for draws and options. Turner simply forgot about his greatest target of them all Heward-Bey. This kid is a play maker and you can bet that he will be getting the ball more often this week. I look for him to have a great day and for Turner to get things rolling. If the Terps can stick to the run and keep an honest passing game this should be an easy cover. The Golden Bears are also having to travel across the country for this game and are seen as great favorites. Ralph Friedgon always starts off slow... but gets the ball rolling. Lets see if he has it in him this Saturday.
A write-up on the tOSU vs. USC game will be avaibable when I get more news on Beanie Wells.
That is all the insight I have for these games. I will be making some 1-2 unit plays else where but here was the information I had at hand. BOL to everyone this weekend! I have been looking at Purdue +8.5 at home vs. Oregon.
