arkansas st+29.5
troy st +11
uab -3
san jose st +29
arizona st +3
utah -10.5
i think arkansas st is my favorite ole miss should have a big letdown playing them off the huge upset
i heard clausen is starting if he's not i'm probably screwed but the vols are getting used to their defensive starters now and they are playing much better should be low scoring.
hawaii i had at 10 without the home field they should win big i wouldn't be suprised to see that one go over 70 both teams should be able to score . im mostly on them because of there poor effort last week i look for them to rebound big at home.
anyway i need a nap i hope everybody kicks booky butt tomorrow

Hawaii's homecoming pits top WAC passing offenses
William Ching Ka Leo O Hawaii
(U-WIRE) HONOLULU -- Look for bombs and aerial assaults in the Halawa area Saturday night when the Nevada Wolf Pack (2-3, 1-0 WAC) square off against the Hawaii Warriors (3-2, 2-1) at 6:05 p.m. at Aloha Stadium.
The Wolf Pack leads the WAC in passing offense with 331.2 yards per game, ranking fifth nationally. The Warriors are second in the WAC and sixth nationally in passing offense with 331.0 yards per game.
Traditionally a passing team, Nevada went back to their roots when Chance Kretschmer, the NCAA's leading rusher as a freshman last season, was lost for the season with a torn left anterior cruciate ligament.
"We're going up against the best quarterback we've seen so far and also the best receiving corps," said Hawaii junior defensive back Kelvin Millhouse. "So this is going to be a huge test for our secondary and we're going to see where we're at in this game."
The quarterback that Millhouse is referring to is senior Zack Threadgill. Threadgill, a two-time WAC offensive player of the week, leads the WAC in total offense and is fifth nationally. He averages 336.8 yards of total offense per game and has already thrown 12 touchdowns.
"He reads defenses well and he's good at putting the ball in a position where the receivers can catch it," said Nevada receiver Nate Burleson. "Often times when a quarterback gets rushed in the pocket they tend to throw balls just about anywhere. But even if he's feeling pressure, he's going to stay patient and take the hit in order for us to get the first down."
The 6-foot-2, 187-pound Burleson is Threadgill's favorite target. The senior wide receiver leads the WAC and the nation in receptions with 53 for 682 yards.
"He makes a lot of plays for them," said Warrior coach June Jones of Burleson.
Said Threadgill: "Nate has been unreal these last couple of weeks. With him playing the way he has, it's just definitely opened up our offense a lot."
For Hawaii, they are looking to rebound from a disappointing 58-31 loss to Boise State on the road.
"Anytime you got a game like that you can only learn from it and hope to get better. I think our confidence level will be back up because it's our homecoming game and we're playing at home in front of our home crowd so I think we'll be ready to play," Millhouse said.
Hawai'i will counter the Wolf Pack's aerial assault with one of their own. Led by quarterback Timmy Chang, Hawaii leads the WAC in total offense, putting up 465.6 yards per game. The Warriors are averaging 39.4 points per game this season.
Warrior receiver Chad Owens is second in the WAC in both receptions and receiving yards per game with 35 receptions for 406 yards, an average of 81.2 yards per game.
"We're still in it for this WAC title. No one's confidence level has dropped. We feel we can win and we got the potential to win some games. We're a good team," Owens said.
The Warriors, who have won five in a row at Aloha Stadium, will look to avenge a 28-20 setback to the Wolf Pack last season in Reno, Nev.
"That was a tough loss for us last year. If we didn't lose that game, we could have had a better chance of going to a bowl game. So anytime you're playing a WAC team, you got to win, especially at home," Millhouse said.
Said Threadgill: "They're tough to play there and it's a definite advantage for them. That's something that's a big challenge for this team this week, is how well and how mature we can handle this trip. We can't get caught up with all the distractions. If we do that and forget about why we're there, which is to play a football game, we'll lose and we'll lose bad."

for tennessee,
It was reported earlier this week that he had a hairline fracture in his left collarbone, although Clausen is now calling it simply ?a sore shoulder?.
?I definitely expect to play,? Clausen told the Charlotte Observer. ?It?s getting better.?

Tennessee offensive coordinator Randy Sanders said it's possible the Vols could use up to four quarterbacks Saturday against Georgia.
"About the only thing I can tell you for sure is that I won't be out there at quarterback,'' said Sanders, who played quarterback for the Vols from 1985-88. "There are a lot of possibilities out there.''
Casey Clausen missed his third straight day of practice with a hairline fracture of his left clavicle.
Both Clausen and UT coach Phillip Fulmer say it's possible the injury won't keep the junior quarterback out of the lineup.
Meanwhile, UT is working on Plans B, C and D.
"C.J. Leak is doing some good things out there,'' Sanders said, "but James Banks has looked pretty good picking out the right guy and making the throws, too. Of course, Kelley (Washington) can do some things back there.
"We're not locked into one guy. If somebody gets hot, we'll play them.''
---------------------------
clausen keeps saying he's gonna play fulmer says its a medical staff decision i really don't think its going to matter c.j. leak is decent and kelly washington could be the best of the bunch
so i'm sticking with the vols to get some revenge and get t.v. set back up for their huge hype on tenn-miami
