RE: CUSA Wk 2: Are you who you thought you were? Thu Night Game
Wow, ignoring the one conference game, C-USA could go 2-9 this upcoming week. Thought yesterday was bad but it could be worse a week from today.. Best case is 6-5.

I saw earlier we were -7. -10 sounds about right. I think we're about as good as I expected. I expect more from our QB Montana. We'll see him improve vs. USA (hard not to). I think we go into La Tech 2-0 but this game will be closer than our 34-7 win vs JSU. Fo sho.

It's hard to judge everybody based off of just one week, especially the past week. If I were actually betting, I would feel pretty good about everything but LaTech, Tulsa, and UNT.

Those games are all toss ups (or close to) for me now. Before I had Tulsa squarely in the loss category. Good to be on the happy side of it all.

Ohio looked terrible today and you get them on a short week. Don't question it, I'm throwing you a bone based off your first game. Fail to cover and it's no big deal, just my lines, not Vegas lines. Lose straight up and I might pick agasint you the rest of the year.

RE: CUSA Wk 2: Are you who you thought you were? Thu Night Game
So many question marks going into Week 2. FAU's lackluster O vs. ECU's questionable D. Can MTSU go to another ACC school and not just win, but dominate like the did to GaTech? Will SoAl be looking for blood after their collapse to an FCS Southern Utah squad? Can a large pro-UTSA crowd give UTSA and edge against Okie St and their offensive woes? Will Ohio bounce back and make a statement against UNT, or can they repeat their performance against Idaho.
Way too many questions right now for this next week.

RE: CUSA Wk 2: Are you who you thought you were? Thu Night Game
• East Carolina will crush FAU. Lay the points.
• Florida Tech will crush FIU. Lay the points.
• I think UTSA will keep things semi-close. My advice is to stay away from this one, but if you must... Roadrunners to cover.
• MTSU has the talent to hang with UNC, but timing works against them. the Tar Holes will be in a pissed-off, hyper-motivated frame of mind: lay the points.
• Tulane hasn't won consecutive games since 2009. But their talent seemed to gel against the FCS team. And they've covered each of their last 5 games in the Superdome. Tulane to cover.
• Nebraska will crush Southern Miss. Lay the points.
• The Herd will avoid the FCS jinx and crush Gardner-Webb. Lay the points.
• UAB is up; LSU is down. Blazers to cover.
• I don't have any real impression of UNT or Ohio. Just intuitively, I'd guess the Mean Green comes down a bit after crushing Idaho. Bobcats to cover.
• Tulsa mailed it in against Bowling Green. CSU catches the Hurricane at the worst moment. Tulsa to cover.
• Louisiana Tech will crush Lamar. Lay the points.
• I like UTEP to beat UNM. Not by 10 points, however. Lobos to cover.
• WKU comes down after thumping UK. Vols won't be caught napping. Lay the points.

RE: CUSA Wk 2: Are you who you thought you were? Thu Night Game
FAU @ ECU Likely a tough game for FAU.
UCF @ FIU The Panthers have played UCF tough in the past and even took one of two from the Knights. Bortles is too experienced now, and will lay some solid offense on you, I'm afraid.
#13 OkSt @ UTSA Welcome back to earth, Roadrunners. Great to have them at your place, but it's going to be a tough one.
MTSU @ UNC I so want to call an upset here, but don't think it will happen.
S.Alabama @ Tulane Two in a row for the Green Wave
USM @ Nebraska No help from the people who put your schedule together.
Gardner-Webb @ Marshall Hope we aren't looking ahead to Ohio. These guys played well last week.
UAB @ #12 LSU History isn't on your side. I don't think the Tigers will be looking past you to anyone.
UNT @ Ohio If you are looking only at last week's scores, you'd be tempted to call this one for the Mean Green. But Ohio is vastly superior team to the one we saw on Sunday. They are the Tulsa of the MAC. Going to be tough to pull this one out.
Colorado St @ Tulsa Bounce Back game...I almost guarantee it
Lamar @ La Tech Should be a win, but Lamar was strong last week.
UNM @ UTEP I think this is a toss up game, but UTEP at home, gets the edge.
FUTURES:
Saturday 9/7
WKU @ Tennessee but I won't be surprised if Petrino and company pull this out.
Chowan @ Charlotte Chowan is an North Carolina Division 2 team that has struggled a bit in past years, but did eke out a 6-4 record last year. I think Charlotte will be a little stronger and should take the win.
ODU @ UMD Monarchs could take this, but Maryland should win at home.

Hey I have no complaints I hope it turns out that way. I think it will be close but since it's on the road a loss is likely here in my opinion. I sure hope we win it would be the first time I have seen us start 2-0 in my 9 year career as a fan.

After watching la tech game 1, la tech 49 - Lamar 21 or less. Techs offense will shine this weekend and the D will get more stops than all of last year combined. I dought a fcs school will have a huge dominate OL like nc st. Say what you want about nc st, there OL was pretty damn good. You don't rush for 300 if you can't block esp considering the longest run was 20 yards.
