MWC: Hawaii host Cal in August then travels to Michigan where the Rainbows will be lucky to score ten points. Fresno St may put a scare in the slow starting Nebraska Cornhuskers
MAC: Bowling Green Linebacker Austin Valdez may need to make ten tackles in the first half half to keep the Falcons competitive @ Ohio St. Miami (Ohio) decent D-Line will keep them in the game until the third quarter @ Iowa. Western Michigan won the MAC West last season and has Corey Davis a great WR. Look for a mild upset @Northwestern.
AAC: Houston hosts Oklahoma- now this could be a good game between two pre-season top 10 teams. Two transfers , Duke Catalon, an RB from Texas, and Ra'Shaad Samples, WR from OK St, could help the Cougars pull off an upset of the Sooners.
CUSA- Louisiana Tech will struggle against the rising Arkansas Razorbacks. I'm curious if Southern Miss has improved enough to give Kentucky a hard time. Charlotte will be overwhelmed at Louisville
8/7/16
Louisiana Tech starting quarterback Ryan Higgins was arrested early Friday in Ruston on a DWI charge. If Holtz suspends him for Game 1 , Arkansas should cruise.
Ark here. UH-Okie St. is going to be a huge game for a number of reasons. How many people other than Mike Gundy remember the Cougars coming into Stillwater back in 2009 and punking the Cowboys out in their own yard? Cougars are playing for a conference affiliation, probably in the Pac 12 this year.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think the Bulldogs can hang with the Huskers, but this is not the Pat Hill era anymore.
BGSU is an interesting team, that could be your darkhorse. Alas, they are going up against Herr Urban in the Shoe though.
greetings Ark: On Fresno: great point on Hill.
Deleteark- I apologize and have corrected my initial post. It's Oklahoma not Ok St @ houston.
Deletebuster- you're forgiven lol
