O5 clashes with the Independents on Sept 26, then TXST game

 Army brings a strong a rushing attack to Cincy(AAC), but the Bearcats have a decent rushing attack led by by Gerrid Doaks and will pull out a 26-25 squeaker.
Troy carries the Sunbelt flag to Provo to face BYU in what looks like a battle of two solid QB .Gunnar Watson may tosses more  passes than Zach Wilson in this matchup, but the BYU rushing game will push Wilson and the BYU squad to a 30-27 win.
Liberty's D looked shaky in the second half in its win last week over WKY , and FIU (CUSA) hasn't played a game. Willis , the ex-Auburn QB, will do just enough to get Liberty a home W. LIB 30 FIU 19.
Then there's a matchup you'd never consider . TX St(Sunbelt)  visits BC(ACC) in Chestnut Hill, MA. The Vitt to Haydel connection will give BC he!!, but the home teams pulls it out in the end. BC 34 TXSt 29
Sept 27
I was 4-0 but I thought Troy would have given BYU a tougher game. Wilson threw for 392 yards and 2 TDs, and was more of the gunner than Gunnar Watson who threw for 162 yards for Troy. FIU ran the opening kickoff back for  TD and Norton rushed for 148 yards and two TD for FIU, but their D couldn't stop Willis, Mack, and Stubbs who led Liberty to the win.Army/Cincy was a defensive game until late in the 2nd quarter when Ridder got Cincy in gear and led them to a 24-10 win.
BC rallied  from 14-points down  to tame the Texas State Bearcats 24-21

  1. Didnt realize Army was playing UC this weekend. That would be an interesting game to watch. I think Cincy wins the game though. Been impressed with HC Fickell! I believe the defensive coach was given a nice raise last month.

    1. @robert: This has become a big time game due to Covid. If Fickel continues to excel, Cincy will have a tough time retaining him.

    2. Army hung in there for 3 quarters before Cincy started controlling the game. I enjoyed watching the 2nd half (missed the 1st half).

    3. A little off topic...looks like WVU is going down with 1 1/2 minutes left in the game. 27 - 13 Ok St!
