East Carolina plays crappy defense,but, they sure can score. QB Davis, the transfer from B.C., I believe started out as a wide receiver with the Eagles. He has been phenomenol at the QB spot for the Pirates. We gave out E.C. last week vs. UAB. They trailed early in the 4th qtr., 34-42. I was not worried because I knew E.C. could put points up in a hurry. Final score: E.C. 52 UAB 42. An interesting note about new Pirate coach McNeil. Even though he was a defensive coordinator at his last job, maybe the team he was on wore off on him, offensively. McNeil was the defensive coordinator at Texas Tech under offensive genius, Mike Leach...West Virginia pounced on Cincy last week.TOO LATE MOUNTAINEERS! You and the Pitt Panthers each had a chance to bring respectability to the Big East, and each of you lost to UConn. Your conference stinks, and, you all should turn down a BCS Bowl invite. In fact, accept the bid. Anything that makes the BCS playoff system look bad is FINE WITH ME...Can you imagine Syracuse in one of the Major BCS Bowls? It can happen. The Orange are having a nice comeback year, but, wouldn't that be embarrassing???
Northwestern had one of the more dynamic QBs in the Big 10, if not the NCAA in Dan Persa. The Wildcats clinched a bowl bid with their win over Iowa. The trouble is Persa had a season-ending injury, and the Wildcats must now turn to a probable freshman to finish the season. I think that's one bowl game I look forward to handicapping...I will reiterate what I wrote the other day: it was a disgrace that the linemakers posted Michigan as a 13-point favorite at Purdue. The Wolverines have one of the worst defenses in the country, and there is no way they should have been that big a favorite in a conference road game. It is funny what pisses me off...Good old Ron Zook of Illinois. Just when you thought he might be actually coaching up in a pretty decent way, he jars you back to reality. His team should have trounced a horrible Minnesota team at home. Instead, he probably had his team needlessly overconfident, and they somehow lost. Good old Ron Zook...

BOWLING GREEN AT TOLEDO:
Bowling Green has had little success running, or, throwing the ball this year. Toledo starts a freshman in only his second start since Toledo's starting QB Dantin was lost for the season to injury. In a rivalry matchup, Bowling Green will probably come to play, and if they do, they'll have to lead with their defense, which is better than their offense. So, because B.Green's offense is very sub-par, and, I believe Toledo plays it close-to-the-vest with its freshman QB, my recommendation is:
ONE STAR PLAY ON THE UNDER
I lean to Bowling Green in the rivalry matchup, but, their offense has been so putrid this year, I will stay away from a side in the game.
