College Football Pick for Thursday, November 8th
NCAA Thursday Night Football: Louisville at (7) West Virginia
When this game was originally seen on the schedule at the beginning of the college football season it was believed that this match-up could possibly play a major role in who plays for the national championship. Now with Louisville (5-4, 2-2 Big East) struggling to finish above .500 and West Virginia (7-1, 2-1 Big East) just hanging on to an outside shot at a championship, this has turned into a more normal game. But that doesn’t mean the game can’t be exciting. After all, both teams have a few offensive weapons to choose from.
Louisville’s Brian Brohm was an early season candidate for the Heisman trophy, and still could possibly be the first quarterback taken in the NFL draft next year. He has completed 68.2 percent of his passes for 3229 yards, a career high. In those 3229 yards he has passed for 26 touchdowns (also a career high) and just seven interceptions. His quarterback rating is an outstanding one of 161.42, just behind his sophomore season numbers, but he has thrown a lot more passes this year then in that one. Brohm still make get an invite to the Heisman trophy awards, but he most likely won’t win it because of his teams declining performance. They’ve lost four games, and two of those came unexpectedly against a Syracuse team that has struggled to win any kind of game the last few years, and Utah. It isn’t Brohm’s fault they are losing. The defense has been pretty much nonexistent, giving up more than 35 points four times.
A team that will most likely be bringing two players to the Heisman trophy banquet will be West Virginia. Pat White, the Mountaineers quarterback is a dual threat both through the air and on the ground. After struggling with accuracy early in his career he has rebounded to complete 70 percent of his passes, including nine touchdowns with just two interceptions. Where he is even more fun to watch is on the ground because he is averaging 6.8 yards per game, and has added an additional nine touchdowns. His partner in crime is also most likely a first round draft pick in the NFL in two years, Steve Slaton. Slaton has gained 100 yards or more in five of the first eight games. In two of the three games he didn’t gain 100 it was because he was replaced early in the game because of his team being so far ahead. Slaton is averaging 5.5 yards per carry and has found the end zone 13 times.
If West Virginia would have been able to sneak past South Florida earlier in the year they would be sitting pretty on top of the rankings. Instead they have had to battle back, which they have done well. A national championship may be out of the picture, but a Big East championship and a big bowl game are now. I expect the Mountaineers to roll here by a score of 38-21, with the Cardinals Brohm having another solid game in the process.
College Football Pick for Saturday, November 10th
NCAA Football Game of the Week: (18) Auburn at (10) Georgia
Another week in the SEC and another meaningful game, what’s new? This week the two teams that will be beating up on each other will be the Auburn Tigers (7-3, 4-2 SEC) and the Georgia Bulldogs (7-2, 4-2 SEC). Georgia is currently in first place in the SEC east while Auburn is second in the west. The SEC is considered by many to be the best conference in the NCAA and if you put a handful of SEC teams in other divisions they would have better records and some of them could even be undefeated, challenging for a championship. LSU is currently slated to play in the championship now, and they are in the SEC, but even they have lost a game in this crazy season. They all might beat up on each other, but they make for one hell of exciting football games.
Georgia is led by amazing redshirt freshman Knowshon Moreno. Moreno has been on a tear of late, including rushing for 196 yards and three touchdowns in Georgia’s last game against Troy. While Troy isn’t a top team, it was just a continuation of his hot streak, where he rushed for 188 yards and three touchdowns against Florida, at Florida. It’s hard to imagine a true freshman having a much better start than Moreno to a college career. If he is able to gain 100 yards against Auburn, it will be the fourth game in a row. On the year he is averaging 5.6 yards per carry and had found the end zone nine times. The fans of Bulldogs football have found a diamond in the rough that they hope can take them first to an SEC title and maybe later in his career, a national championship.
The Tigers have had a bit of an up and down season. Their loss to Southern Florida, the second game of the year, isn’t that bad, but the one following that to Mississippi State was. After that loss they won four in a row, including games against Florida and Arkansas. Three games ago they lost to LSU by a touchdown in one of the best games of the year so far. They’ve rebounded well against less than stellar competition, but have looked good in the process. The name of the game for the Tigers is defense. They are outscoring their opponents by 11 points, and allowing only just over 14 points a game. If they have a chance against Georgia, at home, the D will need to show up.
I’m leaning towards Georgia in this one mainly because of the recent play by Moreno. Auburn’s defense is very tough, and among the tops in the nation, but their offense can be stagnant at time. I take Georgia is a tougher than sounding score of 21-10. However, I would not be surprised if Auburn took it, because they have been known to surprise this season.
