Key O5 matchups for week 8

AAC- While most of the chatter in the AAC East is about UCF, Temple has recovered from it's early loss to a 1AA team and will need  a big day from QB Anthony Russo  ( 88-150, 1173 YDS, 6 TD) to beat the visiting Cincy Bearcats  rushing attack led by Michael Warren II  (124 CAR, 664 YDS, 11 TD).  Desmond Ridder , the Cincy QB, has been playing better and may be the difference in this win. Cincy 24 Temple 23.
CUSA- Two exciting players ,Singletary (FAU) and Brady (Marshall), to  watch as Coach Kiffin tries to get his guy in gear. FAU 27 #herd 22
MAC: Erratic  #EMU visits surprising Ball St, who are 2-1 in conference games. Riley Neal will toss a few TD passes in a 28-17  home win.
MWC: Hawaii is 3-0 in conference play and will  get a few TD passes from McDonald in 28 -19 home win over visiting Nevada.
Sunbelt: I'm looking for Zac Thomas to throw a two TD passes  to offset the loss of running back Jalin Moore and win 27-25  home in a tough fight with the visiting,  feisty Cajuns of ULL.
Oct 19- Ark ST and Hansen went off on Ga St , scoring 51 in a win.

 Hey, I got App St right: Cincy collapsed late. #herd let Kiffin know that the Power 5 ain't calling his cell phone.  #Wiegers  EMU (22-28, 257 YDS, 3 TD) was too much for Ball St.  Hawaii's D collapsed in the middle of the  game.
CUSA- Is Butch Davis smiling a little as his Panthers are 3-0 atop the East.
MWC: SDST barely survived SJST and its O needs a dose of Viagra or it won't stay with Fresno.
AAC- Houston appears to have an easier path in the West. In the East UCF has to play Temple, USF, and Cincy.
Oct 23, 2018: #appst Appalachian St cracks AP Top 25 for first time in FBS history.
