O5 week 7 ending Oct 15, 2017

AAC- Abey, Navy QB, has their O in high gear, but Memphis is at home and their O ain't too bad. Memphis 50 Navy 49 .
CUSA:  It about time I recognize the #herd are playing  decent football. ODU struggled against Charlotte. Marshall gets a special teams TD and edges ODU 20-19.
MAC:  Akron's O has been solid in two conference wins over #BGSU and #ballst, but #wmu has been rolling after losing their opener to Sparty. #wmu 44 #akron 37 . Look for a big game from Jevon Franklin (WMU)
MWC: #sandiegost should take care of #boise, but this is usually a hard fought game. #Penny will rush for 150 and lead the Aztecs to 24 16 win over the Broncos.
Sunbelt: #ULM is 3-0 and conference play. C. Evans (82-129, 1037 YDS, 6 TD) will toss a few TDs in a  27-22 win over #georgiast

Oct 15:

#MAC game  was flooded out so #wmu/#akron kicks off at 1PM today. Both QBs put up solid numbers, but  Navy's five turnovers cost them in a 30-27 loss to Memphis. It took the #herd a few quarters to get into stomp mode  as Litton tossed 3 Td passes, and the D returned a fumble for aTD in a 35-3 win over ODU.
Two picks wrong: Manning tossed four TDs in the Georgia St win over ULM. #boisest slowed down Penny and the Aztecs in a 31-14 win, and now #fresnost sits atop the MWC West.

Oct 16

#jevonfranklin had a solid game for #wmu ,but it wasn't enough as #akron held onto an early 14 point lead for a 14-13 Sunday win.

O5 week6 ending Oct 8, 2017

AAC:  SMU(Dallas) vs Houston intrastate battle. I'm looking for Hicks and the Mustangs to pull out a close one over the Cougars.
CUSA:  #ODU hosts an improved #FAU squad in their forst 2017 conference game. Monarchs will may need a big game from their D to survive the improved Owls. ODU 17 FAU 16
MAC:  #emu put up a good fight against Kentucky and will stun #toledo for a road win. Look for an aerial show from Roback (EMU) and Woodside (Toledo)
MWC:  Stevens and Rams will  tame the Aggies , who are coming off a big win over BYU. Colorado St 24 Utah St 20
Sunbelt: #newmexicost is playing decent football in its final Sunbelt season and their Rogers and rose show will take then to a 27 26 win over Lamb and the Mountaineers.

Oct 8

If you bet against my picks, then you have a cash swell. I was spot on about Nick Stevens and the Rams who won 27-14, but blew the other four picks.
#SMU couldn't contain #Catalon. #ODU D played matador as #JasonDriskel scored four of #FAU eight rushing TDs.. #roback was picked off twice late by #toledo in a 20-15 #emu loss. #rogers had some aerial success, but enough to counter the #appst rushing attack led by #JalinMoore (19 CAR, 241 YDS, 2 TD)

O5 Football week 5 ending Oct 1

AAC: Going with #Memphis  35 UCF 27.  Ferguson' s arm and Henderson's legs should rule the day over #milton and the Knights. Both teams have nice win over Power 5 teams this season.
CUSA: #northtexas has stepped up their O with #Fine passing for over 1000 yards this season, but I'll go with #usm winning 30-27 behind Griggs' arm.
MAC: #WMU wins by 3 at home over #ballst in a low scoring game.
MWC: And a high scoring shootout in Hawaii: #CSU wins on the road behind Nick Stevens' arm.
Sunbelt: Only one conference matchup so I'll go with Evans , ULM QB, doing it all in a 30-10 win over #coastalcarolina.

Oct 1 review: (3-2)

I was wrong on #Memphis . Nice per carry avg for Adrian Killins Jr.  UCF(9 CAR, 115 YDS, 1 TD in a 40-13 win.
Yep , #MasonFine  UNT (24-40, 366 YDS, 2 TD) was impressive in a 43-28 win over #USM.
Finally made a correct pick, but #wmu  won by more than 3 over #ballst. #JonWassink  WMU
(14-20, 240 YDS, 3 TD)
Stevens, Dawkins,  and Gallup put up solid numbers in the #coloradost  51-21 win over over #hawaii and Dru Brown  HAW (31-47, 362 YDS, 2 TD)
Plenty of offensive  stars in the ULM  51-43 win over #CCU. Malcolm Williams  CCU (9 REC, 266 YDS, 2 TD)

O5 football Week 4 ending Sept 24

AAC- In a rare Sunday matchup #ecu  will  finally win and on the road. #minshew will toss two TD's passes  in  21-18 win over #uconn edsels.
CUSA- North Texas played Iowa tough for a half. Wilson had a decent  day rushing and should improve against UAB, who has  Brown, a solid freshman RB. NT 19  UAB 17
MAC: #emu led by QB Roback should survive a tough one against visiting #ohio with Quellete leading the rushing attack . EMU 24 Ohio 20
MWC:  It's hard to ignore the  Aztecs wins over Ariz St and Stanford. Chapman's arm and Penny's legs will lead #sdst  over #afa. SDST 31 Air Force 20
SunBelt: #ULM and #ULL are coming off rough starts against Power 5 opponents. #jordan davis  has tossed for nearly 700 yards and will lead the Cajuns to 26  17 win over ULM.
Sept 24 Review:
CUSA: A.J. Erdely  UAB(17-36, 321 YDS, 4 TD) had a huge day passing but Jeffery Wilson  #UNT
(26 CAR, 211 YDS, 1 TD)  but the Mean Green hung on. UNT 46 UAB 43
MAC: Brogan Roback  EMU (28-47, 271 YDS, 1 TD)  and A.J. Ouellette  OHIO (26 CAR, 145 YDS) had decent games , but Rourke's TD pass in OT  pushed Ohio to a 27-20 win.
MWC: #rashaaadperry 's late 53 yard TD run helped the Aztects survive the AFA upset bid. #sdst 28 #afa 24.
SunBelt: #ULM 56-50 OT win over #ull has me at .500 for the weekend pending the #ecu /#uconn game today. C. Evansn of ULM (16 CAR, 129 YDS, 5 TD) was a scoring machine.
Sept 25 review
More offense than I predicted in the #ecu 41-38 win over #uconn. Impressive numbers for Thomas Sirk  ECU (30-39, 426 YDS, 3 TD) which allowed them to survive the Huskies scoring the final 17 points of the game

O5 Week 3 mixed bag

#MWC: #Rypien may get into gear this week and find C.Wilson in the end zone a few times leading #boise to a 30-20 win over #Newmexico, who needs to turn up its rushing attack.
#Sunbelt : #NMST beat #newmexico in week 1 and has a some potent offensive players  , Rogers (QB), Rose (RB), etc, that may wreak havoc in its goodbye Sunbelt  tour . #troy is looking for more O. NMST 26  Troy 17
#cusa : Two teams . #latech and #wku, that  usually battle for the CUSA title, need this one badly. Battle of QBs as Smith leads LA Tech to a narrow road win over White and the Hilltoppers.
#mac vs #aac: Ohio flavor as Ragland will  throw a few TDs keeping Miami (OH)  close in narrow loss to #cincy who will finally get Boone untracked.
Sept 15 review: Boise  took it's time in   a 28-14 over UNM win and not sure why Rypien didn't play.
Sept 16 review: Rogers (NMST) threw for 336 yards but it wasn't enough to over come #Silvers passing and running. Troy 27 NMST 24.
Ragland's pick 6 to Cincy was among a few Miami O errors that allowed the Bearcats to roar back for a 21-17 win.
Called the narrow La Tech win giving me a 2-2 record for the weekend

O5 moves into conference play weekend 0f 9/9/17

AAC: Memphis hurries to UCF to beat Hurricane Irma  and will need another monster game from Henderson to hold off Milton and the potent Knights' O. Mem  31 UCF 30
CUSA: #Rice @ #utep  . Maybe Stewart gets in gear for the Owls after the Stanford loss, but I think the deeper #utep squad bounces back from the OU loss. Watch Dove ran wild. UTEP 27 Rice 19
MAC: No conference matchup: #Buffalo @ #Army (independent) should be a close matchup of New York schools. #tyreejackson will toss a lot of passes in a narrow Buffalo win  20-19 over the rushing attack of Army .
MWC/Sunbelt: I 'll go intrastate with #newmexico edging #newmexicost (SunBelt). Rogers will be tossing the ball a ton for NMST  while the Lobos will let #lamarjordan toss a few more passes than usual. NM 30 NMST 27
UCF/Mem cancelled so here's another #AAC pick  Navy's QB #abey legs  vs #tulane Banks arm. Navy 33 Tul 29

Sept 10 review: 

Abey's running and passing helped #navy edge #tulane ,who relied mostly on rushing,  23-21 .
Well, I blew the #cusa game. Owls rushed for 306 yards and right over #utep 31-14
#bradshaw rushed for 147 yards, but it was #woofolk, Army FB who scored two late TDs   in the 21-17 victory over #buffalo.
I nearly got the score correct but blew the call on the winner. Tyler Rogers  #NMSU QB's statline says it all: 34-57, 401 YDS, 4 TD

O5 quick snaps Labor Day weekend 2017

I'll try to stick to conference matchups but may not find many so I'll go  for possible close games.
1) #FIU (CUSA) visits #UCF (AAC):  Butch Davis' squad will stay in this one for  three quarters but UCF will prevail 30-17 behind QB #miltonmckenzie
2) #marshall (CUSA)  D won't contain   #miamiohio QB Ragland's aerial show. Miami O 31 MU 19
3) #coloradost (MWC) crushed Oregon St of the Pac 12 last week but Colorado is a  tougher team.
Plenty of Hype over the QBs, Montez  of the Buffaloes, and Stevens of CSU, so watch the rushing game be the key. Colorado 27 CSU 25
4) #coastalcarolina (sunbelt)  faces #umass who lost a tough one to Hawaii last week. #CCU will have a tough time slowing down the Ford to Breneman connection. UMass 33 Ccu 26
September 1: Well #FIU lasted a quarter and a half before Mckenzie and crew rolled them. Nice game for FIU #ThomasOwens  5 REC, 99 YDS, 1 TD. UCF 61 FIU 17
Sept 2 : I was correct about the Buffaloes but definitely thought there would be more O. Col 17 
CSU 3. I didn't foresee the  shaky offensive pass interference calls.
Sept 3: Ragland put up decent stats,, but the #herd got 3TDs from for the special teams and D:  Keion Davis returned two kickoffs for touchdowns and Chris Jackson added a pick6 . #marshall 31 MIami O 26. Cheers to #coastalcarolina RB #Abercrombie had 17 carries for 149 yards and two touchdowns in #CCU 38-28 win over Umass.
