La. Tech is favored by several td's over North Texas.No problemo today.This has the potential to be a blowout. NT is terrible.They beat FIU one of the worst teams in the Sun Belt 13-10.NT had 8 turnovers and was yellow flagged 15 times.A couple of weeks vs Tulsa they had 15 penalties.And many are dumb ones like hitting after the whistle,personal fouls ,etc.
NT's OL cannot open up holes.They have the 2 defending rushing champions on there team but they cannot go anywhere because everyone has 7 or 8 guys in the box.There Qb Meager cannot throw.With no passing attack there is no offense.They rank at the bottom of almost every catogory that says offense. They are last in the nation in scoring off avg 9 pts a game.There punt returners are still in negative yds[last in the nation].Why not fair catch everything and you'll avg 0.
There defense is so bad also.Their 109th in giving up rushing yds.DL and secondary are basically all new.LB's are solid.
La Tech has the wide open offense that spreads everyone out.They played bad at nevada last week but they are capable of putting some pts on the bd.They beat Hawaii 46-16 a few weeks ago at home. Qb Kubick will have all the time in the world in the pocket picking apart NT's defense.La Tech defense can shutout NT.They blitz and attack.La has 10 different players that has at least one sack.So they will swarm from all over at the not so "mean green".
Imagine NT having 15 penalties and 8 turnovers and you still beat a weak FIU.Against good teams you get blown away like the Tulsa lost at home 54-2.
Best play of the day.. La Tech
I'll post htis and come back with a few more.

Memphis over East Carolina
Think Memphis and it's no QB offense will run all over ECU today.Memphis has no qb's.Last wek they put talented WR Avery there and he played great.memphis is so inconsistent but they have the No1 player in the nation in rushing avg 180 yds in Deangelo Williams.He has over 1,000 yds and 10 td's already.Memphis is also 2nd in the nation in rushing.DeAngelo avg's almost 7 yds per carry.Last week they beat Houston 35-20 despite the Coogs fumbling the ball a few times near the goal line.
ECU has been riding on their Qb Pickney.He scored a few Td's last week vs Smoo.Aundrea his wr is one of the best.But ECU has no running game.There offense has been on fire in there last 2 wins but lets not forget it was against Rice and Smoo.I was at the Rice game and ECU defense could not stop the Rice running backs.That is where ECU is in trouble.Defense.They are ranked 107th stopping the run.Playing Memphis who is 2nd in the nation in rushing. Uh oh..
Do not think ECU can stop DeAngelo.Lyr he scored 4 td's and rushed for 225 yds vs ECU.On top of that ECU's stud soph DE Hand has been having a great season.Leads the team in sacks,hurries,etc hurt his shoulder last week.He is there best defensive player and probaly won't play today due to a shoulder injury.It's not inside news because everyone on campus has seen him in a sling all week.Including my son who is 2 floors directly below his apartment. On thursday he was still in a sling.
Pickney is tough but I think ECU's offense is to predicated on the pass and there running backs are weak.
DeAngelo breaks a few long runs and Memphis wins this by a couple of TD's.

Army over Akron
This is a winnable game for my boys.They were losing to TCU 24-17 with 8 minuts left.They were leading Iowa St a month ago.But when you have a qb named Dahman he just kills you with those turnovers.He has 4 td's and 12 interceptions.Dahman's leading recievers have 14 and 20 receptions.A guy by the name of Interception is there 3rd leading reciever. My god..
I'm playing my heart here that Army covers and maybe wins.But Akrons Getsy can throw the long ball.No way Army can lose to a team called the Zips.Just hope the Zips don't zip my boys.

I like also
Neb over Mizzou..think Neb is getting better each week with its offense.Think Taylor is getting more comfortable at Qb.Smith got banged up vs ISU and his replacement was great.Think Neb defense can hold Mizzou down and Callahans west coast improves.Let's not forget Neb had Texas Tech beaten until that fumble. and speaking of TT

Texas big over TT.Not buying TT offense vs this Texas team.

Like Wisky,UConn,Bama,Navy.

Two big plays
Best play...La Tech big,big and bigger
2nd best... Memphis big

maybe ignore the others.GL

thanks Smitty and bookkilla..
