Maryland-West Virginia
AccessNorthGeorgia
There is an air uncertainty surrounding the Maryland football team, which thus far has provided no evidence that it is capable of defeating an elite opponent on the road.The Terrapins are 2-0, but their victories neither of which was particularly impressive were at home against Division I-AA William Mary and unheralded Middle Tennessee State. The competition gets a whole lot harder on Thursday night, when the Terrapins face No. 5 West Virginia on the road. The Mountaineers haven’t played anyone of significance either, but they’ve beaten Marshall and Eastern Washington by a collective 94-13 score. Although the Terrapins beat William Mary by 13 points, they were outscored in the second half. Middle Tennessee gained more yards than Maryland and dominated the clock before losing 24-10. Suffice to say the Terrapins are going to have to lift their level of play if they hope to spring an upset against a West Virginia team that is averaging 538 yards per game, including 353 on the ground.

Kansas-Toledo
Kansan.com
Mangino‘s road record in his first four seasons is a dismal 3-17 and only one of his three victories was a conference game. That record won’t improve this season unless Kansas does, which is a possibility. With sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib’s return to help the pass defense and plenty of young players with room for improvement, Kansas will likely be much better by the end of the season.But the Toledo game is up next and Kansas needs this victory. By defeating Toledo Mangino would prove that he has a clue about how to win on the road. It would give Kansas a 3-0 record, which is halfway to a bowl game. Most of all it would give the young team a much-needed confidence boost heading into the conference season, where four road games wait: Nebraska, Baylor, Iowa State and Missouri. I just don’t see it happening. The Rockets aren’t pushovers like the Jayhawks’ previous opponents. Despite their 0-2 record, they should be favored to win because they don’t have a victory yet. They are desperate and at home for the first time. Check out the approved sportsbooks at www.linetrackers.com

Troy-Georgia Tech
CSTV
Troy returns to the field after nearly upsetting No. 9 Florida State 24-17 in Tallahassee, Fla. last Saturday. Troy quarterback Omar Haugabook completed 29 passes to seven different receivers including eight to Toris Rutledge for 105 yards and a touchdown. The same day, the Jackets defense held Samford to 11 yards rushing and just 163 total yards. Bet this game now through BetUs. Check out the lines now
Miami-Louisville
CSTV
Louisville has been unstoppable at home over the last two seasons and has cruised so far this year. Continuing that success will require beating Miami for the first time in 11 tries. The 12th-ranked Cardinals put their 13-game home winning streak on the line Saturday when they face No. 17 Miami. Louisville (2-0) has outscored opponents 710-217 during its 13 straight wins at home, including a 59-28 victory over Kentucky in the 2006 season opener. The Cardinals’ streak is the nation’s second-longest behind Southern California’s 27 consecutive wins at home. Louisville has never beaten the Hurricanes (1-1), who lead the all-time series 9-0-1, including a 41-38 victory in their last meeting at the Orange Bowl in 2004. Miami has also won all four games in Louisville, but will be playing in Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium for the first time. The Cardinals have been the ones overwhelming opponents in their first two games. Following the victory over Kentucky, Louisville routed Temple 62-0 last Saturday, the third-highest winning margin on the road in team history. The Cardinals’ top-ranked offense in the nation finished with 671 total yards - the fifth-highest total in school history. A week after star running back Michael Bush went down with a broken leg that will cause him to miss the rest of the season, the Cardinals proved they aren’t short on rushing threats. George Stripling and Sergio Spencer each ran for two touchdowns and 72 yards last Saturday while Kolby Smith rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown for the Cardinals, who finished with 312 yards rushing on 43 attempts. Miami dominated that game last Saturday, beating Division I-AA Florida A&M 51-10. The Hurricanes rebounded from a 13-10 season-opening loss to No. 9 Florida State during which they rushed.

Ohio State-Cincinnati
CSTV
Ohio State turned what was supposed to be the game of the season into its own personal showcase last week. After their dominating display against Texas, the top-ranked Buckeyes will have to guard against a letdown when they return home to meet Cincinnati on Saturday. The first No. 1 vs. No. 2 regular-season game in 10 years hardly lived up to the hype, as the Buckeyes (2-0) dismantled Texas 24-7 last Saturday, proving to the defending national champion Longhorns and the rest of the country they deserve their place atop the rankings. Ohio State’s young defense - which had to replace nine starters from last year - held Texas to a single touchdown, ending the Longhorns’ 12-game streak of scoring at least 40 points.
Heisman Trophy hopeful Troy Smith continued his stellar play, throwing for 269 yards and two touchdowns. Smith has thrown for 1,208 yards and eight touchdowns in his last four games, three of which have come under intense pressure - against rival Michigan, Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl, and last Saturday’s contest in Austin. The senior star is 15-2 as a starter and has never lost a game at Ohio Stadium that he started. The Buckeyes have won nine straight, tied with West Virginia for the second-longest streak in the nation behind TCU’s 12 in a row. Ohio State’s run includes six wins over ranked teams. The Bearcats went 1-5 on the road last season and were outscored 215-107. Cincinnati has lost 14 of its last 17 away from home. This is the Bearcats’ second meeting against a top-ranked team. They lost 45-13 to Miami in 1986. Ohio State has won nine straight over the Bearcats and leads the all-time series 12-2, including a 10-0 record in Columbus. Bet the NFL now at -107 juice!

Iowa State-Iowa
CSTV
Drew Tate was not around for the end of Iowa’s game last season with Iowa State. He hopes to be available for the start of this one. A week after seeing his team barely escape with a win over an inferior opponent, the star quarterback hopes to return to the field as he and the 16th-ranked Hawkeyes look for some revenge Saturday against the Cyclones. This contest, possibly the biggest annual sporting event in the state of Iowa, could be missing its biggest star if Tate is unable to play for a second straight game. An abdominal muscle strain which has bothered the senior since the preseason forced him to sit out last Saturday as Iowa (2-0) needed two overtimes to win 20-13 at Syracuse, which has lost 11 consecutive games.
Manson could not figure out what Iowa State’s defense was doing in last season’s meeting as then-No. 8 Iowa was upset 23-3 in Ames. He went 10-of-31 for 117 yards with an interception after replacing Tate, who was knocked out of the game midway through the second quarter with a concussion. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz currently has Tate and Manson listed as co-starters on the depth chart. The Hawkeyes held the Orange to 280 total yards after limiting Division I-AA Montana to 144 in a 41-7 season-opening victory. They allowed 382.7 yards per game last season. Iowa, seeking its first 3-0 start since beginning 2003 with four straight wins, faces an Iowa State offense which has managed only 12 second-half points through two games. The Cyclones (2-0) nearly blew double-digit leads in both games this season. They needed three overtimes to defeat Toledo 45-43 in the opener, and only won last week after a controversial call nullified what would have been a UNLV touchdown on the game’s final play. The Cyclones had lost two straight to the Hawkeyes before winning last season, and trail the all-time series 35-18. Bet now through the Greek, home of the 21 percent sign up bonus
Texas Tech-TCU
CSTV
TCU puts the longest Division I-A winning streak on the line Saturday when it hosts Texas Tech in the first regular-season matchup of ranked teams at Amon Carter Stadium since 1984. The 20th-ranked Horned Frogs (2-0) defeated UC Davis 46-13 last Saturday for their 12th straight win. That streak became the longest in the nation after Texas’s 21-game run ended with a 24-7 loss to No. 1 Ohio State later that night. Brown and the Horned Frogs may have trouble running against Texas Tech, which has not allowed more than 120 yards on the ground this season. The Red Raiders are also strong on offense, with quarterback Graham Harrell leading the way. The Division I-A’s second-ranked passer, Harrell has completed 73.3 percent of his passes (74-for-101) for 718 yards and seven touchdowns with just two interceptions this season.

Baylor-Washington State
Press Notes
WSU will be making its fifth appearance at the home field of the Seattle Seahawks. The series started in 2002 with WSU hosting Nevada in the first football game played in the new stadium. WSU beat the Wolfpack and have also defeated Idaho (2003) and Grambling (2005) in Seattle, with their only setback a loss to Colorado in 2004. The Cougars evened their season record at 1-1 last Saturday by defeating Idaho for the sixth straight season. Bet this game now through BetUs. Check out the lines now
BYU-Boston College
CSTV
Despite spending all of last season in the Top 25, Boston College opened 2006 unranked. It took the Eagles just two weeks to change that. No. 23 Boston College (2-0) looks to back up its ranking and make Tom O’Brien the winningest coach in the history of the program when it hosts BYU on Saturday at Alumni Stadium. O’Brien improved his career record at BC to 68-42 with last Saturday’s double-overtime, 34-33 victory over then-No. 18 Clemson - the Eagles’ first home win over a ranked opponent in O’Brien’s 10 years as coach. O’Brien is tied with Joe Yukica (1968-77) for the most wins in school history. Boston College needed two overtime periods for the second consecutive season to defeat Clemson. The Eagles rallied from 10-0, 17-7 and 24-17 deficits in regulation before finally forcing the extra sessions. After finishing with only 24 rushing yards in a 16-13, season-opening loss at Arizona, the Cougars (1-1) ran for 227 yards to defeat Tulsa 49-24 last Saturday. Bet the NFL now at -107 juice!

Clemson-Florida State
Tallahassee Democrat
DL Paul Griffin is out for the year for FSU. Griffin, a junior-college transfer who played at Pensacola High, started FSU’s opening two games. He tore his left ACL on the third play of the game against Troy while tackling Gary Banks on a trick play. Haggins praised Griffin for his play against Miami. Surgery is expected to take place in two weeks. The junior can apply for a medical hardship, which means he would still have two more years of athletic eligibility. Griffin earned NJCAA 2005 all-region honors and enrolled at FSU in January. FSU is expected to play a lot of 3-4 defense to counter the loss of Griffin for the season and the absence of backup Emmanuel Dunbar almost certainly for at least the Clemson game.
Redshirt freshman Kendrick Stewart will likely start at noseguard with true freshman Budd Thacker behind him. A balanced Clemson team will bring a challenge to every FSU defensive player. All five starters return on the offensive line. Check out the approved sportsbooks at www.linetrackers.com
