270

Sam Houston out-gained FIU 410 to 331 yet lost in overtime 33-27.   Equal turnovers at 1 but horrible red zone offense go the Bearkats.

Rutgers only out-gained Indiana 315 to 279 yet won 31-14.  A 1-0 turnover ratio and a special teams punt block TD killed the Hoosiers.

Ohio State’s game vs Penn State was a ref show.  No adjustment either way.

Cincinnati out-gained Baylor 450 to 396 yet lost 32-29.  A 1-0 turnover ratio and poor special teams killed the Bearcats.

UAB out-gained Memphis 381 to 352 yet lost 45-21.  A massive 4-0 turnover ratio did them in.

Akron’s yards were mainly garbage vs Bowling Green.

Louisiana Monroe’s yards were mainly garbage time.

Pitt out-gained Wake Forest 414 to 323 yet lost 21-17.   They also won the turnover battle 2-0.  This is very rare, but 13 penalties really hurt the Panthers.

Tennessee out-gained Alabama 404 to 358 yet lost 34-20.  They won the turnover battle 2-1, but an 8-1 penalty ratio, poor special teams, and a second half choke killed the Vols.

North Carolina out-gained Virginia 490 to 436 yet lost at home 31-27.   They won the turnover battle 2-1 yet poor field position and red zone defense hurt the Tar Heels.

Most of Texas Tech’s yards were garbage to no adjustment in the BYU game.

ASU outgained Washington 341 to 288 yet lost 15-7.  They won the turnover battle 3-1, but poor plus side of the field execution hurt the Sun Devils.

Key Injuries:

QB Grayson McCall from Coastal Carolina hurt lower body.  Is day to day.

QB Quinn Evers left the Texas game with an injury to his shoulder.  Could be bad.

QB Tyler Van Dyke didn’t play for Miami after having his knee drained.  Day to day.

Kiev O'Neil: 20+ years of sports betting experience. Podcast host since 2017. College Football since 2019 412-367-27 UP 58.7U NFL since 2018 249-228-16 up 40U UFC since 2019 82-74-5 up 34.1U I do not necessarily look at myself as being a so called “sharp” sports bettor. Instead I like to think of myself as a great compiler of information who specializes in the Big 10, but also handicaps all NFL, NCAA football, UFC, Basketball, Horse Racing and more! I encourage people to specialize in a conference or division that will help give them the greatest edge in their sports wagers. I am never against a person betting against their favorite teams when the situation is right.
