Re: First year, YEAR LONG THREAD (0-0)
I like SMU over Rice myself. We'll see if the 'Stangs can make any strides on the defensive side of the ball early/
As for the IU play, i was leaning toward WKU. D1 premier for WKU gives them the emotional edge. When UCONN made their D1 debut against indy they took them to the shed.
IU has the worst O-Line in the B10 and may run intoproblems eary, will have to rely on Lewis to get out of trouble. I think the 'Toppers will run it and have a bit of success early.
Like WKU 1st half the best If i was to play that game.
Tenn/ UCLA
Watch out for the energy that Neuheisel will generate for this game. The QB situation is a jackpot no doubt, but with Chow and Rick there is no better tandem to help Craft along. More of lean to UCAL based on the home opener and a negative slant to Tenn. and Fullmer. I never like the Vols in spots like this.
Hope you hit these.
