PICKS
Miss St -28
There’s a lot of reasons I like this. Among them are : 3 Offensive Line back for Miss ST. Miss St is getting no respect as a good team early on, Fred Ross is a 1000 yard WR who returns, 6 back on D, South Alabama loses Cody Clements who was very good last year on a bad team, South Alabama is 0-6 on road vs Power 5 with average loss of 24 ppg. Give me The Bulldogs big. I also like them in this one on the 1st half line.
Nebraska -28
Another mismatch in my eyes. QB Tommy Armstrong returns for his senior of eligibility , he passed for 3k last season, RB Newby had 765 rushing yards last year, Every WR who caught a pass is back, Nebraska is considered a dark horse title contender by some, 5 of 6 top tacklers from last year return, Fresno plays a 3-4 d and 2 of their 3 DL are gone, Fresno will start a red shirt frosh at Qb, they also lose a RB who had 920 yards, Fresno’s D only returns 2 of their 6 top tacklers. + Fresno travels east. No thanks on having any shot. Big spot for Nebraska to start off with a large win. 42-10 if not bigger.
– Enjoy the games everyone … ps- #GiveHankEquity
