I like Moo -4 @ Mid Tenn St I don't wanna miss this #.
Yes they got clawed by the Bearcats but Cinci just plain had them overmatched. The Cats are good and have a real shot at the AAC Title. I played Cinci last week but not large enough. (Another mistake) My ballz weren't big enough.
I'm gonna say MU has the best Defense in C-USA. Whether that's right or not I can't prove yet but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Revenge game. Blue Raiders won 34-24 last year in Huntington.
Key Point: Blue Raider 4 yr starter Brent Stockstill has moved on.(The coaches son) Seemed like he'd been there 7 years. Whenever he missed games due to injury during the last 4 years they sucked for air.
I make the line on this game -10. I'm not saying my numbers are the best or exactly right but that's my opinion. It's subjective, but you gotta start somewhere.
Game opened -8.5 and is now -4.
Marshall gave Boise St a game on the blue turf. They contained the Broncos Offense all night. Moo nipped Ohio U in a rivalry dog fight. Cincy was just to much for them.
Just believe Moo is stepping down in class here. Of course the same can be said for MTSt after playing Michigan, Duke, and Iowa. I think they could be a little banged up from playing above their weight.
C-USA East implications in this contest. MU travels to FAU in 2 weeks. They cannot afford to lose this one.
I believe Doc will go to ground. Pound the running game, play field position, and throw his D out there. That's Doc's #1 recipe. He likes to be conservative and doesn't take many chances and that's fine with me.
MU QB Green has not played a good game yet but this cat can get hot evidenced by last years play as a freshman. He is overdue. He does best when the Herd gets the running game established and they can play action pass to provide him time to throw. Also a shifty runner. I'm saying he is better than his counterpart.
Moo is a deep(for C-USA) and experienced team, 14 returning starters and lots of backups who have got to play significant time. Experience advantage to Moo.
I just don't see them stumbling here. In fact, I can see them controlling this game from the git-go.
All of The Hetd's season goals are still on the table at this point. I'm willing to lay the short price.
Moo!
