record 3-7 need to get it turned around soon
Florida St. -13.5
FSU has tons of talent. They have great balance with great WR's and Jones looks terrific at RB. Their secondary has had some problems but I don't think Maryland's QB McBrien can beat them throwing as he has only completed 47% of his passes throwing 1 TD and 2 INT's against some pretty weak competition. FSU should be able to load the box and stop their running game. If FSU gets ahead early they should roll as the Terps will not be able to throw their way back in. FSU has won the L3 meeting by 21, 52, and 39 points. I expect more of the same here.
6 pts teaser Texas -7/San Diego St. +11
Texas should have no problem with UNC here but I fear a back door cover laying 13 so will take them in a teaser. I really like this SDSU team. They have a solid defense and a balanced offense. Hall has done a good job in the west coast offense and SDSU has several very big and talented WR's in Tolver, Osgood, and Davenport. Arizona St is not as good as they showed the last couple of games against some weak defenses and I don't see them scoring many points so the 11 points should be plenty. May play SDSU +5 later in the week as I think they win this game.
Penn St. +5.5
I think the Huskers team is a little overrated. Their offense really hasn't done much as most of their points are coming from their defense and special teams. They have gotten plenty of opportunities facing some pretty weak teams. Their offensive line and defense are not nearly as talented as past Nebraska teams. Penn St. will be able to move the ball with Larry Johnson running the ball and Mills should be able to make some big plays throwing to Bryant Johnson who has a lot of talent. I don't think Nebraska will get all the return TD's and the great field position they have gotten in the 1st 3 games and I don't think they can move the ball consistently with Lord at QB. PSU has a very good and big defense line led by the 330 lb. Kennedy in the middle. This Nebraska OL is not the dominant line of the past and I think PSU will hold their own at the line of scrimmage. I see the Nittany Lions winning by 10. May play this on the ML as well. This may be my top play this week.
Georgia Tech pk
GT has nice balance on offense. Suggs has looked good at QB after transferring from Tennessee and Bilbo has some talent as well. The Jackets return several of their top WRs from last year and Hollings has looked good at RB. Their defense is very solid with 9 returning starters. I think Tech's big advantage will be in special teams. Manget is one of the best K in the nation and Rhino is an excellent return man. Clemson hasn't shown much of a running game this season and Simmons has a low completion percentage and ypa. GT has a solid secondary led by Muyres and Hester and Gathers will put a lot of pressure on the Simmons if they are forced to pass.
Oklahoma St. +7 I don't see any reason for UCLA being a touchdown fav on the road in the Big 12. UCLA has lost a lot of talent the last couple of years and doesn't have the big play threats of the past. Their defense may also fall off as they lost 6 starters off last year's team. Fields has played well since taking over at QB last year for OSU and has an excellent target in Rashaun Woods who had 80 catches for over 1,000 yards. OSU returns 9 starters on defense and has excellent specials teams with Groza candidate Phillps at K and the leading KO returner in the nation in Massey. I see a close game here with a possible OSU victory so will take the points.
South Florida +13 USF has one of the best QBs in the nation in Blackwell. He can throw and run and spreads the ball to his WRs very well. He has already thrown for 536 yards with 4 TDs and 0 INTs with a 67% completion percentage and his top 3 WRs return. USF also has their entire starting DL from last year and 2 starting LB's which should help against the Hogs' rushing attack. USF's secondary is a little weak but Arkansas doesn't have many playmakers at WR this year and Jones is not much of a passer. I think USF keeps this one close.
SDSU +6 I haven't seen any reason for ASU to be a road fav. Their offense is average at best and there defense has always been a weakness. Their best passing QB Walter is not likely to play. SDSU has very good WR's and Hall doesn't turn the ball over. They were very competitive for much of their 1st 2 games. I like the Aztecs' chances to get their 1st win of the season at home.
Louisville +2 Think this team got a wake up all against Kentucky. They still have a very strong defense with 9 starters back and they should have enough speed to contorl CSU's running game. CSU is a little overrated in my opinion after beating Colorado who I do not feel is a very strong team. Louisville's run defense has been strong their 1st 2 games allowing just 1.5 ypr while CSU's defense has struggled against the pass and the run giving up 7 ypa and 4.5 ypr on the season. I see Louisville getting the win here.
