You may want to look at the Stanford SC line. They have Stanford -4 and I think there's a very good chance SC wins that game. After reviewing last week. I don't believe Sandford's line is any better than SC's... and with SC's Defense, that could be brutal. If SC cleans up run blocking (huge IF), they should be able to score enough. Plus, SC's FG kicker seems to be on fire. And this game, may be one of those kicker battles.

Yeah I actually watched some clips of UNLV USC since I missed most of the game. USC actually wasn't THAT bad. If they executed better its a blow out, so I got a bit lucky. USC's offense should have had 55

The blocking was a major issue in the first half. They 3 on 1 a defender .. A UNLV DEFENDER .. not something those guys will enjoy on film as the RB got smashed immediately after handoff.

However, in the second half, things improved. This also included seeing the running backs running at the hole in process of getting the hand off instead of standing their like a statue and waiting for Danials to walk it back to them.

Don't get me wrong, Stanford may win this game. But, the line issues are something that afflict both teams... SC has the better defense... Receivers are a wash and RB's go to Sandford by a small margin. QB's... who knows, I say it's a wash because both have shown amazing throws and both have had bad plays. Costello should be better, but its more like a hair better. Which is more of a credit to Danials then knock on Costello.

SC also has a better FG kicker. Stanford has a better punter (which will mean something in this game).

Did we ever really stop?

Im not even from the south

I just happen to like watching NFL talent play

SEC has the most

And this is why SEC fan gets zero respect in the College Football discussions. Again, if you just want to deal with Day Camps, start the SEC forum.

Ugh Utah line moving bigger...


Also looking at USF +3.5
Northwestern-3
Colorado +5

Pulled the trigger, 5 games.

USF +3.5 = I keep looking at this line and wondering if I am missing something. I know USF has to replace a lot of players. But they've had 8/11/10 win seasons and the Seniors/Juniors are from Taggart's final recruitment years. Despite Strong's struggle at Texas, he is still a good coach. Texas is tough to win at with Texas A&M in the SEC (look at Herman currently). Plus USF starting QB is Blake Barnett, former #1 QB, Alabama commit, ASU transfer. He may not be the best, but he's good. GT's Paul Johnson has had the 3 worst years of his career, his GT program is spiraling down the drain, they didn't win a road game last year. I'm not saying USF is a lock to win the game, but for USF to be the underdog at home just boggles my mind.

Northwestern -3 = I think everyone is looking at the score last year at Duke. NW has won 9 straight games and is playing at home. Duke's running QB gave NW fits but I think with a year to prepare, NW will be much more prepared.

Colorado +4.5 = I wasn't much of a believer in Colorado but they steamrolled Colorado State. Nebraksa under Scott Frost is a big unknown with their game cancelled. Frost himself only has 2 years under his belt, including last year's miracle season at UCF. I'm picking this game because I feel like people are over-valuing Frost, I don't think his predecessor left much talent on the team.

Utah -10 = Utah's defense utterly blanked Weber State. Northern Illinois couldn't do anything offensively against Iowa and got run all over. I think Utah wins this by 17-20, the big worry is garbage time points ruining it. Utah also generally travels pretty well.

Texas A&M +12.5 = Clemson has so much hype, I think they are getting over valued. This is a freshman's QB first road game at one of the toughest and loudest places against one of the best coaches. I think the line should have beenlike Clemson -8.

Clemson isn't starting their freshman QB. Senior Kelly Bryant will be starting, and he's been money on the road. Trevor Lawrence will see action at some point, but I expect Clemson's defense to hold down the Aggies to the point where the aTm defense gets put out on the field continuously and breaks in the second half. There is no reason this game won't be very similar to Clemson's road trips to Virginia Tech and Louisville last year. Kyle Field is bigger, sure, but in terms of quality of team I would put aTm behind Virginia Tech. Look for RB Travis Etienne to bust off some long runs in the second half as that Aggie defense gets tired.

Any good games today?

Hookem Horns!

Going to the game tonight because I think thats one of the few wins this season lol

What the HELL is going on with Arizona????

Yup

Bruins D held tough as long as they could. Bruins young offense couldn't do much.
