Hit on NDSU last night so hopefully this will be the start of a great year.
Purdue/Cincy u49
Purdue's QB situation is still a mess and they are planning to break in a new power running game which should help chew the clock up. Cincinnati is going with two veteran QB's (Kay and Legaux) but neither are great passers. Possible downpour in the second half.
Miss St/Oklahoma St o62
The Cowboys lost Joseph Randle but return two very exciting dual threat QB's in Chelf and Walsh. Dan Mullen and Mississippi State finally have a settled QB situation to run his spread offense that trampled teams at Florida and Bowling Green (Russell). I am somewhat concerned that all four top wideouts are gone from the Bulldogs but they do have one of the most veteran offensive lines in the nation. Both teams are middle of the pack on defense.
UL Monroe/Oklahoma o61
Oklahoma is very thin in the defensive backfield and ULM return Lefty Kolton Browning. Meanwhile on the other hand... the Sooners return runningback Damien Williams who rushed for over 900 yards last season and Freshmen QB Trevor Knight debuts (very good talent) with Blake Bell running one of the nations top red-zone attacks.
Northwestern/Cal o59.5
Cal is starting a shaky looking QB but Sonny Dykes up-tempo "Air Raid/Bear Raid" offense was dynamic at Louisana Tech and Cal certainly have more overall talent. Cal's D on the other hand is thin and injured at the linebacker position and will be facing one of the nations most underrated offenses (Colter and Mack). Northwestern also have a HUGE special teams return edge so a possible return TD is in the cards.
Good luck all
