AR - I have not looked at the Temple much but I will. At first glance I think directly back to last weeks devastating loss to VT on a missed extra point. Will Pitt get up for this game? Who do they have on tap? Just a few questions that come to mind. Do you have any interesting trends on this game?
Fresno St. +8.5*
Home dog in a nationally televised game. I feel Fresno St. has been better battle tested as they like to say. Losses at Ten and Okl. has the Bulldogs playing great out of conference opponents. Fresno St. are 5-0 at home and have won 4 straight. BSU on the other hand have been solid all year but against inferior competition, similar to TCU. They have one quality opponent and that was against Oregon St. They lost that game on the road 26-24. Their schedule has been terrible and BSU loves to beat up on average teams. Fresno St. other losses have been against CSU and Hawaii, not bad teams to lose to. Big revenge game from last year as Fresno St. lost 67-21. One key match-up will be the BSU passing against the Fresno St. defense. BSU avg. on the road 375 passing yds. per game. Meanwhile Fresno St. defense gives up 178 pass yds. per game. Something has to give. Fresno St. stays inside the number.
