Week 2

- Start date
ok...
Georgia Tech -13
Joshua Nesbitt is a legit Heisman candidate, and Georgia Tech has high hopes for the season. Anthony Allen looks poised to have a big season as well, and many are expecting him to put up very similar numbers that Jonathan Dwyer was putting up at Tech. The defense should be stout as well, especially vrs. a Kansas team who was only able to muster up 3 points vrs. a North Dakota State team who was 3-8 in FCS play last season.
The Days of Kansas high scoring offense are all but gone and the transition period to Turner Gil looks to be a tough one. The morale of the team had to take a major hit after losing to North Dakota State at home, and now they have to prepare against a triple option from Georgia Tech, whos going to be looking to line up and run the ball down their throats.
Texas Tech -24
New Mexico was bad last week. Really bad. Oregon could've hung 100 on them easily, and New Mexico couldn't even score a point. While Texas Tech is not as good as Oregon on D, their D does look to have some upside. They slowed down and forced turnovers against what's supposed to be a potent SMU attack. On offense, Tech runs A LOT of plays. They run the hurry up and look to get a play off about every 13 seconds. They also are running a lot more out of shotgun this year with 2 back sets. They have a tough game vrs. Texas on deck but I don't think that should stop them from covering this week. As long as they show up and run their offense, I think they win this by 4 TDs, or more. Hard to believe that New Mexico is going to come up with a fix after 1 week for their defense that was absolutely torched by Oregon.

Duke/Wake over 50
Duke boasts one of if not the best receiving corps in the ACC. New QB Renfree had a great game last week but now gets a bigger challenge going against a better defense in Wake.
These teams like to score on each other though...the last 3 meetings, they have put up over 60 points in each game.
Both teams should be ale to score and I don't think 50 points isn't asking too much.:shrug:

UTEP over 27
Senior QB Trevor Vittatoe has faced this Houston team 3 times in his career, and each time has led his team to scoring over 30 points. In 07-08 they put up 31, in 08-09 they put up 37, and last year in 09-10 they put up 58 in a winning effort. Last week Texas State was able to find the end zone 4 times....there should be no excuse why UTEP can't manage the same tonight.
While I certainly dont give UTEP much of a chance to win this game, I think scoring 4 TD is very possible. Especially with how quick and often Houston scores, they should have plenty of chances with the ball.
