Syracuse vs Wake Forest 06:30 pm Syracuse +14
Syracuse vs Wake Forest 06:30 pm Under 44
Let?s let Wake Forest?s head coach Jim Grobe tell the story:
?One thing we do know right now is we?ve got better depth
and more football players to put on the field than any time
since we?ve been here. I expect to play better and I expect
to be a better football team. I don?t think there?s any
question that we have the best talent we?ve had here on
defense. It doesn?t even seem close to me right now and not
just from a depth perspective. We?ve got better players
there now.??
The Deacons are tied for the largest number of returning
defensive starters (10) in the nation. This is a good thing,
because their offense is known for, and should continue to be
known for, going on long drives and coming away empty.
Starting QB Mauk had only one touchdown pass and six
interceptions last season and he won?t improve much simply
by lining up in a shotgun, which is what they have planned
for him more often. "I just want to be efficient, limit my
turnovers and mistakes and manage the game," Mauk said Tuesday.
"If I can do that, we're going to win. We have a very good
defense and good offensive skills guys."
?Game managers? are not the kind of QBs you want to be laying
two scores with. Syracuse?s offense is pretty weak. But with
Mauk playing ?not to lose,? this sets up as a cat-and-mouse
field position game. When Wake punts, Syracuse?s return men
will be either a kid who had a cast on his arm during the week,
or a 5?4? walk-on named Max. Seriously. "Fair catch" will be
the order.
Wake?s Grobe, on his QB Mauk: ?He's taken a lot of pride in
leading our football team, trying to take care of the football
and trying to keep from hurting the offense. I think he
understands if we can distribute the ball and not make a lot
of mistakes, we'll have a chance to be pretty good offensively.?
We?re not talking about a big-play guy here. "I would throw a
5-yard hitch in the scrimmage the other day and they would make
people miss and take it for 30 yards," Mauk said. "It's just
amazing the play of the receivers so far." Yeah, they did that
against their own defenders. Syracuse?s second-season head coach
is an ex-NFL and Texas defensive coordinator and for all the
offensive woes, his D has held up very nicely. No 5-yard hitches
for 30-yard gains here. Laying two scores with Wake vs.
power-conference athletes is asking for trouble.
Utah
Utah is getting about a field goal in this one, and that's just fine with me as the road dog is going to win this one outright. This is a role that Utah has thrived in over recent years as the Utes have covered 14 of their last 15 as a dog!
Utah finished solidly last season and absolutely blew out Georgia Tech in the Emerald Bowl. Now in his second season at the helm, coach Kyle Whittingham has a solid outfit in 2006 and his Utes will score and score tonight against this Swiss Cheese Bruin defense. UCLA was horrible on the defensive side of the football last fall and were equally bad at stopping the run and the pass. They finished ranked 115th overall in defense last year. Ouch!
And things don't look a whole lot better this year for UCLA, which gave up more than 468 yards per game last season. A rash of preseason injuries has forced Bruin coach Karl Dorrell to move some offensive players across the line of scrimmage to offer help in the secondary. UCLA will have a very difficult time stopping Utah's spread attack this evening. Utah passer Brett Ratliff finished 2005 on a roll and he has plenty of offensive talent around him.
A year ago, UCLA's strategy was to simply score and score and score and hope that its defense could come up with at least one or two stops a game. But the Bruins will take a major step back offensively this year with the losses of key players Maurice Drew, Mercedes Lewis and Drew Olson. Oh, and offensive coordinator Tom Cable has moved on, too.
UCLA has question marks at several offensive positions, including quarterback. Last year, the Bruins produced several comeback miracles, but that won't be the case tonight. Utah has a solid defense that returns plenty from a unit that ranked second in the MWC in both yards allowed and scoring. Utah, which has covered 21 of its last 25 as a road pup, will win this one outright by a touchdown!

INDIANA
Even in the best of settings this was going to be a difficult matchup for second year Western coach Bill Cubit, and this is certainly not the best - his Broncos face a major MAC revenge showdown at Toledo next week, which occupies much more of the pre-season practice focus. Meanwhile Terry Hoeppner has established an entirely new attitude with the Hoosiers, and with a legitimate chance to get out of the gate 4-0 there is a full focus on this one. Memorial Stadium is now ?The Rock?, with a three-ton limestone rock sitting in the South end zone that he wants to use as a symbol for the turnaround of the program. With those differing approaches it fully allows the matchups to rule this contest, and that means strong-armed Blake Powers using that deep and talented WR corps to overwhelm a Bronco secondary that finished 116th out of 117 teams in pass defense last year, allowing 303 yards per game and 62.2% completions. And that came vs. a weak schedule! Now those under-sized CB?s get fully exploited by 6-7 James Hardy, who will be among the nation?s best (61 receptions at 14.6 per catch, with 10 touchdowns last year) and 6-2 James Bailey (27 at 12.4), while the move of Marcus Thigpen to RB creates a whole new dimension for the Hoosier attack (he caught 32 passes at 13.5 playing mostly as a wideout last year). Hoeppner has already established a precedent for this setting ? in his only two chances as a home favorite in last year?s debut season they routed Kentucky and Illinois by a combined 74-27, covering the spread by 38.5 points. This is more of the same

It is rare when a service academy team does not start a season in a rebuilding mode, but Paul Johnson has something special going on in Annapolis, and by going with his own players early in his regime it paints a much different portrait going into this season. There are 16 starters back, including his best RB and OL corps, and senior Brian Hampton is more than ready to take over the QB responsibilities. That means the terrific 18-6 run of the past two seasons picks right up, and it could have been even better if those young players had just a little more experience last year, with early season losses to Maryland and Stanford by three points each preventing a 10-2 campaign. That option attack can run roughshod against a Pirate defense that has allowed at least 210 yards and 4.8 per carry in each of the last three seasons, and now does not return a single starting LB, the key line of defense vs. this option. It points to a blowout, and Johnson?s 13-5 ATS run as a favorite tells us what he does with these situations.

Although Army is an experienced and relatively improving team,
several key factors point to Arkansas State pulling the upset. Two
of Army's graduated offensive stars, QB Zac Dahman (holds 20 Army
records) and 1000-yd. rusher Carlton Jones, will be difficult to
replace. Dahman's absence will especially be felt early in the
season as jr. David Pevoto adjusts to fulltime duty. The return of
255-pound Arkansas State MLB Josh Williams from suspension will
make a huge difference to the Indian defense that had trouble
stopping the run LY. Indian Stadium has been a major plus to the
Arkansas State fortunes, as 13-5 spread mark would attest (9-2 as
home dog). Army isn't accustomed to laying points on the road,
and, indeed, the Black Knights of the Hudson haven't covered as a
visiting favorite since the end of the 1996 season. Arkansas State
doesn't play again at home for more than a month, so expect Indian
HC Roberts to have his ASU side ready for a war.
