Season Stats: 0-0 (0 units)
1. TULSA/UL MONROE OVER 51-1/2 (1 unit)
Tulsa plans to run a hurry-up no huddle offense this season. This transition should be made easier with the return of senior QB Paul Smith. Smith threw for 2,727 yards and 15 TD's last year in a more conservative offense. With a chance to now open things up, Smith could be primed for a career year.
All 11 offensive starters are welcomed back for ULM this season, and that is good news for a unit that finished 55th in total offense last season. Tailback Calvin Dawson rushed for 1,210 yards last season.
This game may be a shootout.
2. Arkansas State (+39) over TEXAS (1 unit)
The Indians return 20 starters including All Sun Belt RB Reggie Arnold. Last season, ASU collected 6 wins over Division I-A opponents. That was its most wins ever. The Indians are predicted to finish 3rd in the Sun Belt.
This is just too many points, especially for an opener.
