FIU, Oregon, & Arkansas State

I am loving it right now.  Just got cable back after giving it up for the summer, so I can watch as much football as I want.  This evening we like Florida International because they're playing at home against Akron, who has a new coach and QB.

Last week, Oregon jumped way ahead of Arkansas St., but the final score was 57-34, so even though the score was 50-10 at halftime if you only saw the final score you might have wondered why Oregon only won by 23 against a much weaker team.  I think Oregon might be looking to make a statement this week, and we like that Fresno State has a new coach.  I especially like that the new coach is changing the defense to a 3-4 and offense significantly from pro-style to a spread.  Gameplan are complicated and college players are kids, and some of these players were recruited to play a different type scheme, so hopefully Oregon completely blows them out because the spread is pretty big.  

I mentioned Arkansas State played Oregon last week, but they're playing Memphis this week.  Memphis has one of, and possibly, the worst teams in Division 1A.  They also have a new coach who is changing the offense, a transfer QB, and they're playing on the road against a team that got smashed by Oregon last week.  We like an angry Arkansas St. team who is probably looking to bet someone up.
