#BoxscoreReview Week 6...
posted by Todd
Every week in college the final scores don’t tell the full story. That’s why I’m here to try and help point out some of the statistical nuggets you may have missed in your handicapping. Utah vs UCLA: Utah failed to cover against UCLA on Thursday night and they can blame the 6 interceptions thrown by Travis Wilson. The most impressive part of his generosity was that 5 of the 6 picks came in the 2nd half. Utah St vs BYU: The biggest thing you wouldn’t know by blindly looking at the boxscore is that USU lost all MWC caliber QB Chuckie Keeton for the season to a knee injury. His backup Craig Harrison was 4-10 for 26 yards in relief and it’s safe to say the Aggies offense may look very different in coming weeks. San Diego St vs Nevada: The Aztecs had a commanding 44-23 lead headed into the 4th quarter before Cody Fajardo went bonkers in comeback mode. The game tying drive for the Wolfpack culminated with 1:38 to go in regulation but their upset bid was denied in OT because of penalties. SDSU was led by a 2-headed rushing monster of Muema/Pumphrey who combined for 248 on only 35 carries. Navy vs Air Force: Navy and Air Force amassed roughly the same amount of yardage but the Middies covered the closing number because of a 21-0 2nd half surge. Navy QB Keenan Reynolds, who was listed as questionable before the game, carried the football 28 times while no other Navy player had more than 8 touches. The two teams only ran 134 plays with a clock that never stopped but it had nothing to do with the government shutdown. Florida St vs Maryland: There was nothing flukey about FSU’s drubbing of...

Because Adam Kramer is more entertaining than I am, it made sense just to lift his description of this week’s podcast and pawn it off as my own. Of course it explains why I’d be speaking about myself in the 3rd person but that’s neither here nor there. Also, if you have never visited his blog go check it out here Thankfully, there are point spreads and gambling, the great equalizer for us all. And there is also a podcast to discuss said point spreads. Welcome. Drew Collins from Chuckoliver.net, Bud Elliott from SB Nation, Vegas bookmaker Todd Fuhrman (who is pretty much everywhere) and myself are here to break down this “interesting” weekend of games, and we also revisit some of the updated ‘Games of the Year’ numbers. And remember… “Just because it’s a bad week of college football, it doesn’t mean you can’t win money.” – George Washington Check us out on iTunes, and please tell all your friends to do so also. And have them tell their friends. And their friends’ friends’ friends. And etc....

#BoxscoreReview for CFB Week 2...
posted by Todd
Every week (or that’s the plan) I want to share misleading stat lines from the college football weekend. If you happen to see anything of note while watching the games, use the hashtag #BoxscoreReview to point them out and we’ll include them right here on these pages. Get complete college football power rankings here, the ultimate tool to assist in your handicapping The Hurricanes were out first downed 22-10, outgained 413-212, and had 16 minutes less of time of possession but found a way to upset the Gators thanks to Florida’s 5 turnovers and absolutely horrific execution in the red zone. Kentucky’s 41-7 win over Miami OH might not have been decisive enough given their stat sheet domination. The Redhawks gained 8 first downs to Kentucky’s 27 and were crushed in total yardage 675 to 122. However, the most “impressive” stat line was for Miami’s QB’s who went 4-14 despite trailing by 17 for over 3 quarters. Michigan St and USF combined for 27 points but even that many shouldn’t have been scored. Mich St was the beneficiary of 2 defensive touchdowns and only amassed 265 yards of offense. USF was that much worse; gaining 155 yards on 61 plays going 1-13 on 3rd downs. Bobby Eveld the starting QB was 6-25 for 66 yards, ouch. Sparty’s QBs didn’t light the world on fire either completing 12 of 24 passes for less than 100 yards. Oklahoma State and UTSA’s final was somewhat misleading when you consider the teams combined for 42 points in the 4th quarter compared to only 49 through the first 3 frames. OSU threw for over 500 yards with efficient QB play as Chelf/Walsh combined to go 35-43. Houston needed a late touchdown to cover against Temple but they clearly were...
