"WEEK 8 NCAAF HUSTLE"

BUT ITS THURSDAY NIGHT, AND YOU CAN THROW TRENDS OUT THE WINDOW. 2 GAMES REMOVED FROM PLAYER SUSPENSIONS, MAKES THE 3RD GAME A CHARM. 2 RETURNING STARTERS ON THE OLINE FOR FSU, AT LEFT TACKLE AND CENTER, MIXED IN WITH TRUE FRESHMAN, HAVE PAVED THE WAY FOR FOR THE 31ST NATIONALLY RANKED OFFENSE. ANTONE SMITH, THE LEADING RUSHER FOR FSU HAS BEEN MONEY. QUESTION COMING INTO THE SEASON FOR THE FSU OFFENSE WAS THE QB PLAY, BUT THEY SEEM TO HAVE GOTTEN THAT RESOLVED WITH THE ADEQUATE PLAY FROM CHRISTIAN PONDER. A DEFENSE WHICH RANKS 2ND NATIONALLY, RETURNS SEVERAL KEY STARTERS, MOST NOTABELY, EVERETTE BROWN, AND MYRON ROLLE, BOTH FUTURE NFL STARTERS. THE SECONDARY ALSO FEATURES KEY VETERANS TONY CARTER, PATRICK ROBINSON, AND MICHAEL RAY GARVIN, WHO FORM A SOLID UNIT. ON THE FLIPSIDE YOU HAVE AN NC STATE SQUAD WHO HAS STRUGGLED TO FIND AN IDENTITY. RUSSEL WILSON HAS EMERGED AS A DUAL THREAT QB FOR THE WOLFPACK AND HAS HAD HIS MOMENTS TO SHINE. THE STAPLE OF THE OFFENSE COMING INTO THE SEASON WAS ITS GROUND GAME RETURNING KEY STARTERS JAMELLE EUGENE, ANDRE BROWN, AND TONEY BAKER. HOWEVER, CHANGE UP AT THE QB POSITION, AND INJURIES TO AN OLINE WHICH LACKS QUALITY DEPTH HAVE MADE IT HARD FOR THE TEAM TO ESTABLISH ITS GROUND GAME. NC STATE WILL HAVE TO RELY HEAVILY ON THERE FRONT 4 TO APPLY PRESSURE AND MAKE 1ST CONTACT, BECAUSE THE BACK 7 FOR NC STATE HAS BEEN A WORK IN PROGRESS. THURDAY NIGHTS HAVE GENERALLY BEEN A SPOT FOR NC STATE TO SHINE VS FLORIDA ST. BUT IN A REVENGE GAME, AFTER A BYE, WITH FSU EYEING AN ACC TITLE BIRTH, IM THROWING OUT THE TRENDS AND GOING WITH THE ROAD FAV. FSU IN A ROUT.

WAKE FOREST @ MARYLAND: MARYLAND WAS UP 24-3 IN LAST YEARS MATCHUP, UNTIL WAKE FOREST CAME BACK IN OVERTIME TO WIN IT, 31-24. I DOUBT MARYLAND FORGETS THAT.

KANSAS STATE @ COLORADO: THE KSU DEFENSE RANKS 111TH NATIONALY, GIVING UP 442 YARDS OF TOTAL OFFENSE ON AVERAGE. COLORADOS OFFENSE HAS BOGGED, BUT IT HAS BOGGED AGAINST ALOT TOUGHER DEFENSES. I WOULDNT TOUCH THE OVER/UNDER, SOMETHINGS GOT TO GIVE.

MISSISSIPPI STATE @ TENNESSEE: THE VOLS ARENT LOOKING PAST ANYBODY. MUCH EMPHASIS WILL BE PUT ON THIS GAME. MISSISSIPPI STATE GETS TOO MUCH CREDIT FOR BEATING AN OVER RATED VANDERBILT TEAM, AND HANGING CLOSE WITH AN AUBURN TEAM IN SHAMBLES.

MISSOURI @ TEXAS: MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS TEXAS TEAM SHOWED UP LAST WEEK. THEY MADE ALL THE RIGHT PLAYS AT THE RIGHT MOMENTS. THEY PLAYED A PERFECT GAME AND CAME PREPARED. MISSOURI PLAYED SLOPPY LAST WEEK. THIS WEEK THEYLL BE MORE FOCUSED. MISSOURI IS STILL ONE OF THE TOP TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY IN MY BOOK.

WESTERN MICHIGAN @ CENTRAL MICHIGAN: LAST YEAR CMU WON 34-31. WESTERN MICHIGAN HAS BEEN PLAYING ITS BEST FOOTBALL, WHILE THE CMU OFFENSE IS NOWHERE NEAR WHERE IT WAS LAST YEAR. CMUS LEADING RUSHER/PASSER, DAN LEFEVOUR WAS INJURED IN HIS LAST OUTING, AND ONTARIO SNEED IS AVERAGING 40 YARDS PER GAME.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. I DONT TRUST THE VIRGINIA GROUND GAME TO ESTABLISH A PRESENCE VS A UNC DEFENSE WHICH HAS BEEN SOLID IN THAT DEPARTMENT, GIVING UP LESS THAN 4 YARDS PER CARRY PER OUTING IN ITS LAST 4. UNC PASSING OFFENSE ALSO PLAYS INTO UVA WEAKNESS, UVA HAS GIVEN UP 9 YARDS PER COMPLETION IN ITS LAST 4, SOMETHING YOU CANT BANK ON.
