TX St has stumbled through a rough season with plenty of O and less D. Brad Jackson , the QB, (1,786 YDS 9 TD 2 INT) is capable of big games. I'm going to go with TXSt beating the odds and pulling out a squeaker at home . TXST 31- JMU 30.
Other four guesses will be made later in the week.
Ok I"m not going to ignore the CUSA this week.
Kennesaw St has been surprising and will win at FIU. Dexter Williams will toss two TD passes for KENN in a 27 to 20 win.
Other four O5 conferences will be picked on Thursday.
