Fresno State: -12
Nevada o/u56.5
For Fresno State this is a revenge game for what happened at the end of last season and Nevada beating them by 3. FSU has Dwayne Wright coming back from injuries who was a 1,000 yd. rusher in 2003, a QB in Tom Brandstater who has the body of nfl qb, and great receivers around him, and the offensive line in front of him which will look like its in the nfl against Nevada. They have probably one of the best linebacker groups in WAC and the top returning sack leader in Tyler Clutts in the WAC.
Nevada, lost its offensive nucleus in B.J. Mitchell. Their running game is questionable, Jeff Rowe at QB returns, but there are a few holes in the offensive line. So even with their good receiver corps, This does look to be a long night for the Wolf Pack offense. They were higher than Cheech and Chong at the end of the season last year with a tie for 1st in the WAC, however the season will start out long with a loss to Fresno and then traveling to ASU.
Fresno State covers easily:toast: Plus FSU is 6-1 ATS in Game one.
Notre Dame/G-Tech:
Notre Dame, with a balanced offense in Quinn, Samardzija, McKnight (coming back from injuires as was to be their best receiver last year!!) and Walker will take a G-Tech defense who I think is being overrated a little in pre-season talks.
ND's defense (I'm a huge ND fan!!), but this defense scares the hell out of me:scared. With G-Tech having Ball return (has he been around for ever) and Calvin Johnson who will test a ND secondary.
Notre Dame Fightin Irish from South Bend Indiana, wins and look for this game to go over easily if it ever gets posted. Notre Dame 42/G-Tech 24.
