Army +22.5 over Louisville
Army finally gets a coach in Bobby Ross.This team will be so much better this yr.Nevels the Qb is healthy until the 3rd offensive play.Army stats are terrible.They haven't won at home since 2001.Army has lost 15 in a row,24 of last 25.I could go on and on.
Ross will change things big time.But not today.Louisville is loaded.There offense gets all the press but their defense will shut Army down.In last 4 games vs Army Cards have avg over 42 pts.
Stopping the UL offense will be hard today.Lefors and co gained 6,355 yds on offense.Gates,Shelton and Bush are 3 backs the cadets will have to contain.Russel a WR is tough.Army D is tougher and better coached then lyr.
Lyr Cards had over 600 yds on offense but only won 34-10.
Think the same thing will happen today.Cards dominate but the score will remain somewhat close.Don't think Cards blow out at the cadets esp on this day in history.I put one box * on the Nites of the Hudson.Maybe they get a backdoor cover and just slip in under the number.
Small play +22.5 Army

FAU +8 over North Texas
Already wrote about this game.FAU coming off big upset win at hawaii and NT still suffering "whiplash" injuries from 65-0 trouncing by Texas.
Cobbs who led the nation in rushing lyr gained -1 yds on 9 carries vs UT.Dickey is a conservative coach who run,run runs up the middle.Then he uses Hall their Qb in play action,etc.But w/o Cobbs defenses can stop them.Cobbs had surgery back in August on his rt thumb.The cast is still on and he is not 100%.Their offense is so predictable.
NT defense lost its top linebackers and Kennedy the Conf PO Yr on defense.Also backup Qb Smith who was mobile was killed in a car crash.He could spell Hall when the pocket collapsed.
In come FAU tonite.The most experinced team in D-1 despite there 1st yr.This florida team is talented and beating hawaii was no fluke.They are loaded with talent everywhere.In 2001 when they started football all these kids were red shirt freshman.Throw in the incoming freshman class and 30 of these kids have played over 30 games the past 3 yrs.have to post this ,be back ...

sorry,when the wife calls ..I stop typing..esp when the task was given yest and I forgot.
Schellenberger is the coach.He has put together a lot of Florida HS players into a solid team.They were 10-3 lyr in D1A.
They have a great Qb in Allen.Vs the Bows l-week he was 28-44 and 291 yds and threw a tying TD pass with 23 seconds left.
This team is loaded at all the positions.With 10 returning players on both sides of the ball and about 6 or 7 players that were red shirted lyr that lost their starting spots and want them back.They have 6 starting DB's with only 4 openings.They have 4 or 5 running backs,Wr's etc.
They area talented and even though there moving up in class the Sun Belt conf is only a notch above them.
Howard is a great coach and will be able to stop the NT run.Hall's passing eff is excellant but all his passes are short yardage ones.He's always 9-13 for 150 yds or 13 -18 for 160 yds.
FAU on defense shut down Chang's passing attack esp in the 4th qrt.and they shut down the run.Allen to Hill or Parker running the ball will cause big time problems in Denton.
Think FAU can win this outright and getting +8 is a gift.With cobbs not a 100% any kind of spread attack or adjustment in NT offense won't work.They won the Conf for 3 yrs running the ball up the middle.

Conn -14.5 over Duke **
Orlovsky should pick apart Dukies defense.

Zona St +1.5 over Northwestern **
Think NW with Basanez is solid.But can't see NW stopping Walters.This team is improved and think they make a statement vs a B-10 team.

Toledo +3.5 over Kansas **
Think Rockets can win this outright.I know there licking wounds from Minny loss.In fact that was my only loss last week.Maybe I had them the wrong week.Gradkowski has a lot of offensive talent around him.Hopefully they can play a little defense and outscore KU.

Cuse -15 over Buffalo **
Cuse blown out 51-0 by Purdue.EMU moved the ball vs Buffs.Reyes scores big time.Cuse bloes them away.

Fresno +13 over Kansas st **
Think they keep this close...

California -35 over New mex st **
wow.Cal scores 56 on Air force and Ark scores 63 on the Aggies.This has blowout written all over it.Aggies cannot stop Bears.

Playing Alabama -11.5 over Miss *
No Manning...

Penn St -3 over Boston Col ***
Papa Joe owns BC.They are 19-3 vs Eagles.

Also taking for one box and putting a few parlays together.
La Tech -13.5 over la Laf..Moats is unreal.Hope he got a little rest
Akron -6 over Mid Tenn..Frye can pick apart MT defense.
Ok St -20 over Tulsa *
Neb -14 over So Miss * So Miss can't score and maybe this new offense explodes
Ga Tech +7 over Clemson GT defense keeps this close
Best bet FAU +8 over North Texas ******

Way to many plays.That's my demise.But its the 1st week and I feel like a kid that entered the candy store.. Gl to everyone today.Lets not forget what happened on this day...

Kenman,its the same Bobby Ross.His defense will improve big time.He's option offense and play calling will give Army a chance in many games this yr.maybe if he can win 3 or 4 games.
Cadets,staff,all love him.So profesional.He kicked off a few starters from lyr.If Nevels doesn't get hurt they have a chance.But today Louisville is really no match.
I got Pt Gd tickets to todays game.Hope he enjoys it.The weather is beautiful in the Hudson Valley today.
Wareagle..I'm ready for you too ..in FF.
