Seems like when teams are down starters / players they win and often cover. LaTech (vs SM), Ark State (vs KSt), Kansas St (vs OU), VT (vs NCSt), BYU (vs Troy). I guess there are games like when ULL was down players vs Georgia State, they didn't cover. And Georgia Southern didn't cover vs Campbell. Probably others. Texas State has been without some key players and covered several games.
I'm not saying it isn't information we or I don't want to know, but I am saying it hasn't mattered much at all.
