CUSA: Marshall, a winner of four straight games, host La Tech who is 5-0 in conference play. Maybe the #herd will practice ball control and Knox gets 100 plus rushing yards. I'm rolling the dice on the herd D doing slowing down J"Mar Smith the La Tech QB. MU 22 LaTech 20
MAC: Jaylon Bester will rush for 90 yards and a TD for Miami O in a 24-18 win over Bowling Green.
MWC: San Diego St tumbled out of the gate but they now sit atop the MWC West. Aztecs will recover from the tough loss to Nevada and will eke out a 20-19 win over Fresno, a struggling team. SDSU may need a pick six to get the win.
Sunbelt: Texas St has been a bit of a surprise this year, and Tyler Vitt , who tossed for 373 yards and three touchdowns last week against USA, will lead them to a 27-25 a win over Troy to even their conference record at 3-3.

I was close on Bester's stat line. 9 carries , 85 yards , 2TDS. Gabbert tossed three TDS in Miami O's 44-3 rout of Bowling Green . Red Hawks are a game and a half up on Buffalo in the MAC East.

LA Tech Rumors are true: Starting quarterback J'Mar Smith, wide receiver
Adrian Hardy and outside linebacker James Jackson have been suspended
for the Marshall game due to an athletic department policy violation.
Smith and Hardy will also sit out the UAB game. What a complete meltdown
by Buffalo (AAC) last night- blew a 27-10 lead in three minutes, then
lost 30-27 on a game ending FG .

#herd were in trouble when they decided against a FG attempt on fourth
down in the second quarter and ran some goofy play in an odd formation
that failed, but they roared back behind Green and Knox for the 31-10
win over La Tech. SDST didn't need much O in it's 17-7 win over Fresno St and took a 1.5 game lead over Hawaii in the MWC West..

I won my first three picks but lost on Tulane and TXST to finish the weekend. Temple D-Line made life tough for McMillan plus the Green Wave play calling was sketchy on a 29-21 loss to Temple.Kaleb Barke (30-43, 363 YDS, 6 TD) led Troy to a 63-27 win over TXST
