CFB Week of 11-7-09

CFB Week of 11-7-09 383) Mighty Cougars (pick em) vs Tulsa. 1% play This line makes no sense. It smells way too fishy, a head fake perhaps, I am almost certain money will not continue to come in on Tulsa. Tulsa has wins this year over the all world New Mexico Lobos, Sam Houston State bobkittens and the Ricecakes. The Coogs 333 points ranks third nationally behind #1 Texas Tech and #2 Texas. Some folks have mentioned the run D weakness of UH, and yes it is not good, but Tulsa's running game is no great shakes. They avg 3.7 ypc. Tulsa is looking to avoid its first four-game slide, the little canes are coming off last week's 27-13 loss to SMU, as they committed 14 penalties to nearly double their previous season high. "We just have to get things back on track and go get a win," coach Todd Graham said. "To do that, we have to play extremely well this week." Graham's major concern for Saturday could be who'll start under center. Sophomore G.J. Kinne suffered a concussion against the Mustangs and was replaced by junior Jacob Bower. Kinne's status is uncertain after completing 2 of 10 passes for 10 yards and two picks last week. He's been solid otherwise, throwing for 1,498 yards with 12 TDs and four interceptions in his first season as a starter. Bower had 206 yards and a touchdown on 9 for 22 passing after entering last week's game in the second quarter. He's completed 15 of 35 passes for 289 yards and two scores in limited action during four games this season. Last year when Tulsa actually had a decent little team...well UH won 70-30. https://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextr...1_Housto574478 Good Luck

333) High Flying Cowboys (-7) vs iowa state 1% play Iowa State's secondary ranks #10 in the Big 12. They are banged up and running on fumes. They have struggled vs. teams that have mobile QBs and against teams that run the spread offense. LW we saw Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson pick apart a depleted Cyclone secondary. Nickel back Ter’ran Benton is out with a broken leg and safety James Smith had to sit out the first half — with bubble screens and an assortment of short and intermediate passes. QB Arnaud is expected back this week, and reports say his bruised throwing hand is better, but IMO he is worse this year than he was last year. ISU depends on running the football, and unfortunately this is not the week I expect them to have much success. Ok State's run D is holding opp. to

375) A&M (-3) -105 vs the lonely buffs, 1% play 2 teams going in opposite directions. Many season ticket holders boycotting the games and CU fans calling for Dan Hawkins head. The coaches kid saga has worn out it's welcome with little Cody and now the #1 RB recruit Darell Scott announced Tuesday he is leaving the team. He sent the coach a text message "I am out". So we have the lopsided stats (#1 offense in the Big 12) favoring the ags, the morale scale tilted heavily towards the ags, and the ags are 1 game away from going bowling. A&M upset Texas Tech 52-30 and followed up with last week`s 35-10 rout of Iowa State. Heading into Saturday`s game in Boulder, the Aggies have won consecutive conference games by 20 or more points for the first time since 2002. They boast the nation`s sack leader in defensive end Von Miller (13½) and have an offense that has crossed the 500-yard barrier in all five of its victories this season. But after the Colorado game, the Aggies face a three-game closing stretch against teams that beat them by 20 or more points last season: No. 20 Oklahoma (66-28), Baylor (41-21) and No. 2 Texas (49-9). That is why players feel a sense of urgency to become bowl-eligible this week. "Now that we`re close, we`ve got to keep pushing. That`s what we`re fighting for," said left guard Evan Eike, whose move into the starting lineup has coincided with A&M`s two-game winning streak. "We want to be playing in a bowl game this off-season, not sitting at home." Jerrod Johnson, A&M`s quarterback, said reaching the six-win minimum for bowl eligibility is "something we`re trying to stress" this week." https://www.dailycamera.com/cu-colleg...ts/ci_13704553
