Box score fun:

- MTSU won on the final play on Tuesday on a 32 yard pass from Craddock to Beyah. FAU outgained MTSU, but they turned it over four times. Rusty Smith now has 4 TDs and 7 INT on the season after a 32-9 ratio last year. He has only completed 48% of his throws.

- Boise St's punter Brotzman averaged 57.7 yards on three punts. After a 9-27 night, La. Tech QB and Georgia Tech transfer Taylor Bennett is now completing just 39.4% of his passes this year. He has not completed more than 15 passes in any game and his only game above 40% passing was against Southeastern Louisiana where he completed 15 of 27.

UAB kicker Swayze Waters missed an XP for the 2nd time this season after missing only one in his previous two years as UAB kicker.

- Oregon St. lost to Utah despite winning the yardage, first down, and turnover battles. Utah kicker Louie Sakoda was perfect on FGs and averaged 44.5 yards on six punts. He is now averaging 44.3 yards per punt on the season. He is also 13-15 on FGs, with his only misses coming from 48 and 54 yards.

- Boston College needed a late TD to finish off NC St. despite outgaining them 578-253. BC also had 28 1st downs and were a combined 11-20 on 3rd and 4th down. However, BC had 3 turnovers to NCSU's 0. BC QB Chris Crane threw for 428 yards, more than doubling his previous career high of 207.

- Colorado St. outgained UNLV 510-347 and won the turnover battle 2-1. Still, they needed a 10 yard run with :09 left to win the game. The mis-leading final score is the result of a fumble return as time expired.

He is now averaging 47.3 ypp on the season (this guy gets completely overlooked in terms of Idaho's totals, which continue to be astronomically high despite the fact that Conley booms punts and Idaho can't score much).

- Navy beat Air Force on the strength of two blocked punts for TDs. Air Force outgained Navy 411-244. (Navy = luckiest team of the year?)

- TCU outgained SDSU 498-85 (TCU had 383 rushing yards). SDSU was held to 4 first downs, 1-11 on 3rd down, and -13 yards rushing. TCU held the ball for nearly 44 minutes.

Chazz Anderson expected to start
Posted by BKoch at 10/3/2008 6:54 PM EDT on Cincinnati.com

Chazz Anderson is expected to start at quarterback because Brian Kelly feels more confident bringing Zach Collaros off the bench if in fact he feels the need to do that. It's likely that both will play. Aaron Webster will start at strong safety. Jacon Kelce is a game-time decision.
 
Added:

Michigan St./Northwestern OVER 44 (1.65u to win 1.5)
Toledo/Michigan UNDER 53.5 (1.65u to win 1.5)
Oklahoma St./Missouri UNDER 78.5 (1.1u to win 1)
 
wow usm choked ... good news for my boys.

TCU outgained SDSU 498-85 (TCU had 383 rushing yards). SDSU was held to 4 first downs, 1-11 on 3rd down, and -13 yards rushing. TCU held the ball for nearly 44 minutes.

my god ....

i watched this debacle. wanted to do something more exciting so i watched paint dry later.


Boxscore tidbits in your threads each week might be my favorite posts each week. Really appreciate the work brutha

on nw total , miami oh , and the ville .. as usual we have a few similar .. gl this week.
 
BUMP because this thread got WAY too far down on the page.... always a great read needs to stay on page one

BOL this weekend, D$$$, G$$$, vegaskyle, and whatever other active handles you use on this site:)

That Michigan under looks solid as hell and will probably tail you there

already down to 51 though

i like it as michigan has the counter to shut down a run-balanced offense that toledo brings with an excellent run defense.....

ball state showed us last week how toledo can be exposed if you stop the run by completely shutting them down
 
Rutgers at Cincinnati (-8)

I think this a poor spot for Cincinnati, despite the fact that it is homecoming for the Bearcats.

Fact is, The Chazz Anderson-led Bearcats are still unknown commodity in my opinion. He wasn't asked to do much in the Marshall game. He did what was basically expected: threw a couple of boneheaded passes and he also showed glimpses of his big arm. Fact is though, special teams and turnovers put Cincy ahead comfortably, and they basically ran the entire 4th quarter to run the clock out.

Watching the Marshall game, a few things became evident to me:

- Marshall played a horrendous game, particularly on offense. Mark Cann was awful. Darius Marshall looked like he was drunk. The offensive line was beat up by an average Cincy fronr. The only players on offense that were alive for Marshall were Chubb Small (who only got 7 carries for some reason), Cody Slate, and Darius Passmore.

- Because of the above, Chazz Anderson didn't see much pressure. He did what was expected: threw a couple of boneheaded passes along with a couple that displayed a glimpse of his big arm. However, when he faced pressure, he often held onto the ball for too long. He'll see more pressure in this conference game.

Rutgers needs this game if they have any plans to go to a bowl this season.

I'm not exonarating Rutgers from their poor start, but they have been relatively unlucky. They are -7 in turnover margin, and they have forced a turnover in only one game: Morgan St. Also, despite some lopsided losses, the most they have out-gained by this season is 63 yards (@West Virginia). Lastly, if you are a believer in revenge, it definitely applies here. Cincy ruined Rutgers' undefeated season two year ago, and they also won at Rutgers last year (see avatar), sending them into a downward spiral.

Rutgers matches up fairly well with Cincy in my opinion. Their defense has been gashed by the run this year, but Cincinnati has not run well thus far (outside of the Marshall game). Rutgers has been relatively solid against the pass outside of some big pass against UNC and Fresno. Also, if you watched the Cincy/Rutgers game last year, you saw that the Rutgers front put all kinds of pressure on Mauk, but he was elusive enough to escape the majority of the sacks (he had 11 carries for 29 yards in the game). I'm not yet confident that Anderson can do the same.

I still maintain that you can beat Cincy if you can sustain drives. Rutgers has the WR weapons to do that in Underwood, Brown, and Britt. This trio combined for 16 receptions and 279 yards in last year's game against Cincy. Underwood and Brown have yet to show up this year, but this week is as good a time as any. Cincy struggles against big, athletic TEs (see: Cody Slate last week) because their LBs are run oriented and ill-equipped to cover them. Therefore, while Underwood and Brown don't need to catch many balls, they do need to keep both Mike Mickens and DeAngelo Smith occupied to open up the middle for Britt.

The key is that Teel doesn't make mistakes (he had 3 INT last year against Cincy - including the clinching INT on their final drive).

This just feels like a bad spot for Cincy for a couple of reasons:

- Marshall's deficiencies (and the 33-10 final) covered up Cincinnati's struggles early on.
- Chazz Anderson's first meaningful game.
- I feel that Rutgers' offensive personnel is the type that could give Cincinnati problems.
- Rutgers is simply more battle tested overall. While Cincy played Oklahoma, Rutgers has played UNC, Fresno, WVU, and Navy. This will be the first game where Cincy plays a team on their "level" so to speak, and I'm interested to see how they react.

I feel that this a FG game either way. It's tough to predict that a team without a I-A win this year could pull this out, but that is what I'm thinking. I hope that I'm wrong, but I think the Scarlet Knights squeak this one out.

Rutgers' Kordell Young might play vs.UC
Posted by BKoch at 10/8/2008 1:29 PM EDT on Cincinnati.com

The sputtering Rutgers offense could get a huge boost Saturday vs. UC with the return of sophomore running back Kordell Young, who has missed the last four games with an injury to his left knee after rushing for 94 yards and one touchdown in the Scarlet Knight's season-opener vs. Fresno State. According to the Newark Star-Ledger, Young practiced Tuesday, with coach Greg Schiano proclaiming afterward that "he looks pretty good. He's got a chance to play Saturday." Young had been counted on to fill the void left by all-conference running back Ray Rice. Without him, Rutgers ranks last in the Big East in rushing. The inability to run the ball consistently has also had a negative impact on the Rutgers passing game.

Thanks Cap - GL this week.

Yep - that Michigan total implies that Toledo is going to score around 17. I have a tough time seeing it happening. I think I made the total 43 or so (would have to check the totals thread to be sure), so I'd probably take it until it went under 50.

Also, if you are serious about me having multiple handles (I'm bad at detecting internet sarcasm), I welcome an IP check to disprove the theory. :cheers:
 
really liking the Ville tonight, D$.. believe Louisville defensively doesn't get enough credit and Bolen and Anderson are gonna run the fuck over those non-tackling sobs. GL this weekend, Diesel

Thanks Grind - I also tend to believe that Louisville is on a different level. We'll see tonight - GL.

I figured that Cap - just wanted to throw it out there. Glad to see you on the UM/Toledo under as well - should be good as long as Michigan doesn't do too much damage on offense.
 
Congrats Marlo - all of them hit relatively easily.

Adding:

UL-Lafayette -17 (1.1u to win 1) - selling part of my NT ticket.
