Huh. Is that "respect to State", or is Zona just expected to be awful?
Did vegas see that we don't have our good QB starting? They better read the board before favoring us!:rolleyes:
Arizona is awfulQuote:

I'm shocked at that UMISS line
Shows how bad we looked for the majority of yesterday's game that we are only 9 point favorites at home versus Zona. Also shows how much some of our fans don't know football that they think it's a compliment to be -9 at home versus Zona.
No they're not.Quote:

Cal and Miami with the points.
Their over/under win projection was 4.5 for this year.Quote:

I thought A&M looked pretty good in their game. I watched it this morning and i was impressed. Their defense is a problem.
Worth noting early money has shifted the line to -11.5
Do we have any comparisons for Northern Arizona(lost to Arizona 38-3) and Southeastern Louisiana(lost to a Mississippi State 48-7) other than they are both Directional Schools?
Both Arizona and MSU scored non-Offensive TDs, so there is that.
If we only beat Arizona by 9, then we're in big trouble

Better load up on OM
Zona is not awful, the QB is mobile and can cause some problems if State doesnt keep contain. The O better have the kinks worked out and not come out flat like yesterday!
This might be a classic dog and cat fight!
Last year, Northern Arizona went 3-8. Last year, SELA went 9-4 (conference champion) and lost in the round of 16 in the FCS Playoffs.Quote:

Agree, this is the time of year Ole Miss still catches people off guard and scores at Will before coming a 3 and out machine by mid OctoberQuote:

Granted, Tulane 2023 may not be the same as Tulane 2022, but Ole Miss 2023 is unlikely to finish #12 or #14 either, and Tulane gets them at home. I think Ole Miss probably wins, but I don't buy that they'll obviously cover a 6-point spread.
I'm sitting back hoping I can get Tulane at +7.5Quote:

I think we win by 14, but not 18.
I see state -10Quote:

What?s the key to stopping it?
Even or better talent.Quote:

I'll be honest- I would love to watch us score 70 on someone. Or more.
We should cover -9 if we play like we did in the 2nd half against SELA. Ole Miss should cover too, although I think Tulane will score some solid points
NAU is not good. Won 3 games in 2022. Arizona won big but not big enough considering who they were playing. They looked sloppy, had too many penalties and fumbled a few times. They got a lot of work to do coming to two time zones difference and into the humidity and noise.Quote:

Of course the crowd went wild. All I was thinking was "What is going to happen to his draft stock if he blows out a knee on an offensive trick play up 63-3 in the 4th?" Different buch of folks up there.Quote:

For other schools it's about getting clicks and feeling superior to "those beneath us" whose only reason for existence is to provide them tools for superficial amusement and targets for condescending scorn.
It is just baked into some institutions to (irrationally) see the world as their inferiors and to make use of whatever tools they have at their disposal to inflate and bolster those feelings.
Freeze tried that in the 2013 EB and we blew that shit up.Quote:

This line is all over the place. Up to -14 for an hour or so then straight back down.
