Saturday's college football info

Top 10 games

Miami covered just three of last ten on road, though they are 7-3 vs. spread in last ten tries as underdog; last week, in a 31-3 win vs. Marshall, ‘canes completed just nine of 21 passes, but had four INTs, 251-64 rushing edge. Oklahoma starts redshirt frosh QB, but they were 25-28/403 passing last week; they’re just 5-8 in last 13 tries as home favorite, though they did crush North Texas last week, 79-10.

Alabama won last 19 games vs. Vanderbilt (33-1 in last 34) but LY’s game was just 13-10 (341-235 TY, Bama). Tide covered 13 of last 22 on road; Commodores are 3-6 vs. spread in last nine as home dog, and 7-49 SU in SEC in this century-- with 18 starters back, including five senior starters on OL, this is Vanderbilt’s version of Super Bowl. Tide was 12-18-2 vs. spread in last 32 SEC games under Shula.

NC State’s O’Brien returns to Boston College without his best RB (out for year) and with Nebraska transfer at QB, who rallied Wolfpack from 25-3 halftime deficit last week, only to fail on the tying 2-pt conversion try in 25-23 loss to Central Florida. Dog is 31-15 vs. spread in State’s last 46 games. BC trailed 14-0 in first 5:00 vs. Wake last week, but Ryan was 32-52/406 passing, and Eagles won by 10.

Michigan looks to rebound from last week’s disaster, vs. more talented Oregon team that does lot of same things App State does; with only four starters back on defense, Wolverines are vulnerable there. Ducks upset Big Blue 31-27 in last meeting, at Autzen in ’03. Wolverines are 7-11 vs. spread as home favorite. Oregon beat Houston 48-27 LW, but Cougars ran ball for 310 yards, so Michigan could make hay there.

Washington crushed Syracuse LW 42-12 behind redshirt frosh QB Locker (20-23/199 passing), now is home dog vs. Boise State team that covered just four of last 12 away from blue carpet. I am impressed by 302-8 rushing edge in road game, but am unsure if it was Washington’s improvement, or just how dismal Syracuse is playing. Big game for revival of Washington program; they’re 5-13 SU in last 18 home games.

Hard to tell much about Fresno State, Texas A&M, since both opened with I-AA foes last week. Fresno has covered 10 of last 13 on road vs. BCS teams, is 23-11 vs. spread out of conference Texas A&M is 7-4 vs. spread in last 11 as home favorite, 5-3 in non-Big 12 games, but they were outgained LW vs. Montana State (game was 17-7 A&M at half). Would never give Pat Hill 17 points, that I know.

Spurrier has covered five of six as road dog at Carolina, eight of nine on road overall. Four of last six Georgia-So. Carolina games were decided by six or less pts, but Dawgs won 18-0 LY (-3), rare shutout for a Spurrier offense, and fith straight Dawg series win. UGa started two freshmen in opener LW (first time since ’64); they’re 5-10-1 vs. spread as home favorite. Carolina allowed 254 rushing yards to ULL last week; they get suspended Mitchell back to QB this important game.

Notre Dame waxed Penn State 41-17 LY (-8), as Quinn was 25-36/ 287 passing, and Irish had +3 turnover ratio, but now Quinn is gone, Irish are rebuilding- they lost 33-3 at home LW, gaining just 121 TY (Tech had 260-M9 edge in rushing yards). Penn St. crushed FIU 59-0 LW; they have senior QB, are 7-3-1 vs. spread in last 11 tries as home favorite. Irish are 9-5 vs. spread as road dog, since 2002.

Auburn struggled vs. K-State last week, trailing in last 3:00, had only 62 rushing yards, and were just 3-15 on 3rd down. In comes upstart South Florida, which has upset West Virginia, Louisville last couple years; Bulls are 7-4 vs. spread as dog last two years- they had good QB, but he is only a soph. Tuberville covered just three of last 11 outside of SEC. USF’s best RB transferred in from Alabama- interesting.

Virginia Tech struggled in emotional home game last week, now visits rabid Baton Rouge on a Saturday night. Hokies ran ball for only 33 yards LW, had three turnovers, Glennon was 22-33/ 245 passing, and they’ve covered five of six as a dog since ’01. LSU won 45-0 at Miss State in the opener, picking off six passes holding Bulldogs to 10 rushing yards; Tigers are just 8-12 vs. spread as home favorite since ’04.


Rest of the Card

-- West Virginia covered 12 of last 15 as road favorite; they won this in-state contest 42-10 LY, rushing for 312 yards. Marshall (5-0 as home dog) is hosting this game for first time since 1915. This is Herd’s Super Bowl.

-- Northwestern lost 31-21 in Reno LY (-7), thanks to -4 turnover ratio; they’ve covered only two of last 12 as home favorite. Nevada lost 52-10 at Nebraska last week; they’re 2-9 vs. spread in last 11 tries as a road dog.

-- Wake Forest QB Skinner separated shoulder LW; they blew early 14-0 lead in Boston. Nebraska has USC coming to Lincoln next week; they’re 6-2-1 vs. spread in their last nine road games. Wake is still 26-13 as dog under Grobe.

-- Minnesota trailed 21-0 at half LW to MAC’s Bowling Green, rallied to force OT but lost; Gophers are 16-9 in last 25 as home favorite, but learning all new systems. Miami, also of MAC, is
4-7 vs. spread in last 11 tries as road dog.

-- Temple was last favored in ’03 (vs. Rutgers); they were 21-29/ 199 passing LW, but gave up 361 rushing yards to Navy. Bulls gave up 563 yards in loss at Rutgers; both sides see this game as winnable, so very important contest between two struggling programs. Investing in this game? Might think about GA.

-- Ohio St is 13-6 vs. spread in last 19 as home favorite, 11-8 vs. spread in non-league games. Akron is 8-6 vs. spread as road dog under Brookhart; first road start for their new QB. Zips played in a bowl LY, so they’re OK, but you know Buckeyes are aware of what Michigan is going through now- they’ll be alert.

-- Virginia got outgained 474-108 at Wyoming LW; Groh now on hot seat. Duke led 14-11 at half, lost 45-14 to UConn; their winless streak is now 21. Cavs won last seven series games by an average score of 22-9- they held Duke to only 8 first downs in LY’s 37-0 win.

-- Central Michigan beat Toledo last two years, is favored over Rockets for first time since ’95; LY, they beat Toledo 42-20 LY, using +4 turnover ratio to offset being outgained 487-387. Both teams gave up 52 pts last week; Chippewas lost 52-7 at Kansas, Toledo 52-24 at home to Purdue.

-- Bowling Green won at Minnesota in OT last week, after blowing 21-0 halftime lead. Michigan State led outmanned UAB 45-3 at the half. Falcons covered nine of last 12 vs. "big boys" (BCS schools). Falcons gave up 246 rushing yards to Minnesota, despite leading whole game.

-- Hard to lay six with Baylor team that got shut out last week, but Bears are 4-3 as home fave since ’01, while Rice lost storm-delayed game to I-AA Nicholls State LW, 16-14. Owls are 16-12 as road dog since ’01, but have third HC in three years, which is tough on players.

-- Wyoming won 48-21 at Utah State LY, outgaining State 460-129 (221-55 rushing yards). Cowboys are 6-4 in last ten games as home favorite- they crushed Virginia LW, outgaining Cavs 474-108, holding them to five first downs. State got beat 23-16 at home by UNLV in its opener.

-- San Jose lost 45-3 at Arizona State, bad start after bowl season in ’06. Kansas State covered six of last seven as home favorite; they led at Auburn in final 3:00, before Tigers rallied for win- Wildcats threw 58 passes, ran 27 times, but their defense held Auburn to 62 rushing yards.

-- Upset alert for Cal team that got revenge win vs. Tennessee LW, now visits Colorado State club that blew 11-point lead in 4th quarter to rival Buffaloes. Rams beat Cal 23-21 in ’03, but they’re 0-3 as home dog since 2002. Hanie converted 11 of 19 on 3rd down LW. Cal is 8-6 as road favorite with Tedford.

-- Missouri blasted Ole Miss LY 34-7 (-10) in Columbia, running for 218 yards, passing for 253 (471-162 in total yards). Rebels had 20-0 halftime lead LW, with special teams, defensive score, then hung on for dear life at end in Memphis. Tigers gave up 34 pts to Illinois LW, still won on neutral field.

-- Ball State lost MAC home game to Miami LW, giving up winning TD in last minute, now is favored on road vs. Eastern Michigan team that was outgained 357-145 LW by Pitt team that is searching for QB. Ball is 2-5 vs. spread as a road favorite in this century.

-- UAB was horrible LW, trailing 45-3 at half at Michigan State; they’re 18 players under scholarship limit, and run into angry Seminole group here, five days after second half rally fell short at Clemson. FSU is just 13-21 vs. spread as home fave, since ’01.

-- Utah won last four games vs. Air Force, winning last two here,.49-35/38-35, but Utes lost their QB for month LW, and their best RB for season- they’re 3-6-1 vs. spread as home favorite. Air Force is 9-6 vs. spread as home dog since ’02; they’re more diverse on offense than they’ve been.

-- East Carolina played good defense at Virginia Tech LW, outrushing Hokies 142-33, but loss of their starting QB (susp-DUI) stung; Pirates are 5-1 as home fave under Holtz. UNC has just nine starters back from LY; new coach Davis has brought hope back to Chapel Hill.

-- UCLA QB Olson went to BYU, went on his LCD mission, then transferred to UCLA, so this has to be special game for him, but BYU beat Oregon (38-8), Arizona (20-7) in last two games, so they have to be confident being a dog vs. Pac-10 opponent.

-- Tennessee lost at Cal LW, has Florida on deck, so this becomes huge game; Vols have covered only 13 of last 41 at home, three of 17 if favored. Southern Miss is just 7-13 vs. spread as road dog since ’01; they have a senior QB, as do Vols. Ainge was 32-47/271 passing at Cal, despite broken pinky.

-- TCU has its Super Bowl here vs. Texas club that got outgained 397-340 by Arkansas State LW, winning 21-13, because ASU had four empty trips inside Texas red zone. Horned Frogs covered four of last five as a road dog; they shut Baylor out LW, picking off four Bear passes.

-- Visiting team won last two Miss State-Tulane games, with Wave winning 32-29 LY (429-350 TY); State is 5-9 vs. spread in non-SEC games since ’02. Tulane is 1-6-1 as home dog last two years- this is first game for new coach Toledo (the former UCLA coach), State threw six picks in 45-0 home loss to LSU.

-- Kentucky is 8-4-1 in last thirteen tries as home favorite, but has Louisville on deck, huge game for them- can’t look past Kent squad that won 23-14 at Iowa State LW, running ball for 205 yards. Flashes covered five of last six as road underdog.

-- UTEP beat New Mexico 10-6 LW, despite dismal 8-26/80 night passing; Lobos outgained them 383-209, but Miners won. Texas Tech is on short week after drilling SMU 49-9 Monday. Harrell was 49-65/470 passing, so Miners will need lot more than 10 points to win here.

-- San Diego State is just 6-9 in last 15 tries as road dog; game is in Seattle, not Pullman, but still road game for Long’s Aztecs. Wisconsin was 20-30/304 passing vs. Wazzu LW, as Cougars yielded 486 TY in loss at Madison. Wazzu is 9-17 vs. spread in last 26 tries as favorite.

-- Home side won three of last four Hawai'i-Louisiana Tech tilts, with Tech winning last game here, 46-14, but if they gave up 276 passing yards to Central Arkansas LW, what happens against Colt Brennan, whose Rainbow Warriors led 42-3 at half LW.

-- Iowa beat Syracuse in OT at Carrier Dome LY, stopping SU on seven plays from Hawkeye 2-yard line; starting QB Tate missed that game. Orange were outrushed 302-8 by Washington LW.

-- Indiana beat Western Michigan 39-20 LY (323-289 TY); IU has 16 starters back, four on OL- they're explosive. Western yielded 316 rushing yards at West Virginia LW, was outgained 542-277.

-- New Mexico won last four games vs in-state rivals by average score of 33-17; Lobos averaged 26.4 yards/reception, and a +5 turnover ratio in win, but they lost last week in El paso, despite holding the Miners to 10 points.

-- Wisconsin covered six of last seven non-league games, and is 3-0 in last three tries as road favorite; UNLV covered eight of its last 12 as home dog. Badgers covered 14-pt spread last week vs good Washington State team.

-- Colorado beat Colorado State in OT LW, in QB Hawkins' first college game, now they go up in class visiting Arizona St squad that hammered San Jose State 45-3 LW. ASU had balance, with 239 passing yards, 269 passing.

-- Short week for Clemson after beating Florida State for fourth time in five years; letdown likely vs UL-Monroe squad that lost 35-14 at home to Tulsa, after leading 17-14 at half.

-- Troy is spunky, going anywhere for big paychecks; last week, they lost 46-26 at Arkansas, covering in last minute, despite an awful passing performance (17-49/214). Florida has Tennessee on deck, so you won't see much of their playbook here.

-- Oklahoma State beat Florida Atlantic last two years, 23-3 and 48-8; LY, OSU outgained Owls 432-215. Cowboys covered ten of last fifteen tries as home favorite, were stung at Georgia in 35-14 loss last week. FAU won a league game last week.

-- UL-Lafayette ran ball for 254 yards at South Carolina last week and hung within 28-14 of Gamecocks (SC's starting QB Mitchell didn't play). Ohio U blocked three punts LW, but Gardner-Webb isn't I-A.ULL's coach comes from Va Tech; Ohio ain't blocking three kicks in this game.

-- Florida International lost 59-0 at Penn State last week, so hard to tell anything about that. Steffy won Maryland's QB job when his competition was declared ineligible, so they're shaky at QB.

-- Arkansas State outgained Texas LW, lost because they were empty on four different drives in Longhorn red zone. Memphis trailed Ole Miss 20-0 at half LW, rallied to 23-21, but conversion to tie game in last 0:31 failed.

-- Short week for SMU club that got waxed 49-9 by Texas Tech Monday; very long week for North Texas club that lost 79-10 to an angry Oklahoma team. North Texas upset Mustangs 24-6 in 2006, but SMU covered five of last six as home favorite.

EDGE: NEBRASKA
The Cornhuskers finished 17th nationally in scoring offense at 30.6 points per game in 2006, thanks primarily to an impressive offensive output at home. Nebraska averaged 50 points per game in its first four home games and average 41.6 per game at home in 2006. EDGE: NEBRASKA

Oregon has been outscored 59-0 in the three prior meetings in Ann Arbor, the last being a 24-0 shutout on October 6, 1973. EDGE: MICHIGAN
The Ducks now have the very difficult chore of facing a team that is undoubtedly angry and determined to perform worthy of their preseason No. 5 ranking, before losing to Appalachian State last week. Michigan hasn’t lost back-to-back home games since 1994. EDGE: MICHIGAN
Michigan has compiled an impressive 44-21-1 record against teams that currently compete in the Pacific-10 Conference. The Wolverines are 5-6 against its foes from the West over the past 12 years, but 0-3 in road games played at its opposition’s home field. SLIGHT EDGE: MICHIGAN

BYU at #13 UCLA (6:30 PM ET)

UCLA owns a 6-1 record in the series, including six consecutive wins dating back to 1985. The Bruins have beaten the Cougars by an average of 15.5 points in their six wins. EDGE: UCLA
The BYU defense held Arizona scoreless through 59 minutes in a 20-7 victory over the Wildcats to extend the nation’s second longest active win streak to 11 straight games.

Texas has won the last three games with TCU and 27 of the past 28 meetings. The Frogs’ lone win in that stretch was a 23-14 victory in Fort Worth in 1992. Since winning 24-17 in 1967, TCU has dropped its last 14 contests in Austin. BIG EDGE: TEXAS
TCU is one of only five teams to have reached 11 wins three times in the last four seasons. At 65-21, the Horned Frogs have the 11th-best record in the nation since the start of the 2000 campaign. EDGE: TCU
The Longhorns are 20-9-1 in their last 30 games following a ATS loss.


#9 Virginia Tech at #2 LSU (ESPN | 9:15 PM ET)

Virginia Tech has won its last 14 opening road games. The Hokies are also 48-6 overall and 18-2 on the road in the month of September since the start of the 1993 season. EDGE: VA TECH
The Hokies are 1-4 all-time against the No. 2 team in the AP’s poll and 0-7 all-time against the No. 1 team in the country. EDGE: LSU
Virginia Tech has won 30 straight games when scoring first. The last time Tech scored first and lost was against West Virginia in 2002. BIG EDGE: VA TECH – SECOND HALF (IF THEY SCORE FIRST)
Myth has it that LSU plays better at night in Tiger Stadium than they do during the day. The facts show that since 1960, LSU is 201-59-3 at night under the lights compared to 19-22-3 mark in Tiger Stadium during the day. EDGE: LSU
The OVER is 10-2 in the Hokies last 12 games as a road underdog.

-Jehuu Caulcrick ran for 93 yards and a career-high four touchdowns as Michigan State rolled past Alabama-Birmingham, 55-18.

BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE

Julian Rauch's 24-yard field goal with 26 seconds left put Appalachian State ahead of Michigan and Corey Lynch blocked a field goal in the final seconds to seal one of college football's biggest upsets. The two-time defending champions from college football's former Division I-AA beat Michigan 34-32. No Division I-AA team had beaten a team ranked in The Associated Press poll from 1989-2006.

HURTING

Ohio State's starting defensive end Lawrence Wilson broke his right leg midway through the second quarter against Youngstown State. ... Illinois quarterback Juice Williams left the game against Missouri early in the second quarter after taking a shot to the head. Williams ran to the right side and took what appeared to be a helmet-to-helmet hit from Missouri's Hardy Ricks. No penalty was called. He was replaced by redshirt freshman Eddie McGee.

DYNAMIC DUO

Pat White threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more scores, and Steve Slaton scored four times in No. 3 West Virginia's 62-24 rout of Western Michigan. It was the Mountaineers' highest scoring game since an 80-7 win over Rutgers in 2001. White finished 10-of-18 for 192 yards and 97 yards rushing, while Slaton finished with 109 yards.

IRISH STING

Georgia Tech's defense shut down Notre Dame in a 33-3 victory. The only score for Notre Dame came on a 24-yard field goal by Brandon Walker in the third quarter. The Fighting Irish were held to minus-8 yards rushing.

HEALING

After 4 1/2 months of mourning, No. 9 Virginia Tech struggled to beat East Carolina 17-7, even hearing boos from a home crowd that honored a plea not to jeer the Pirates. The Hokies appeared a bit overwhelmed by the burden of what they'll face all year: rallying a school that is desperate to move on from the worst mass shooting in modern American history. The 32 victims of April's campus massacre were honored in a heart-tugging pregame ceremony, which was followed by an uninspiring performance on the field.

ONE NITTANY LION

Penn State welcomed 80-year-old Joe Paterno back to the sidelines with a suffocating show of defense. The 17th-ranked Nittany Lions routed Florida International 59-0, as Paterno made his first appearance on the sidelines since breaking his left leg last year at Wisconsin. A cart took Paterno off the field at Wisconsin last November after two players ran into him on the sideline in a violent collision. He spent the next week at home while recovering from surgery - missing a game for the first time since 1977.

FLYING HIGH

Matt Ryan threw for five touchdowns - second-most at Boston College only to Doug Flutie - to help the Eagles beat Wake Forest 38-28. Ryan completed 32-of-52 passes, and threw for more than 400 yards against Wake Forest for the second consecutive year. No BC quarterback has thrown for as many as five touchdowns in a game since Flutie connected for six against North Carolina en route to the 1984 Heisman Trophy.

REMEMBER WHEN

Ohio State's Jim Tressel was the coach at Youngstown State for 15 years and led the Penguins to four I-AA championships before taking over the Buckeyes in 2001.

STRONG IN DEFEAT

Mike Hart rushed for 188 yards and three touchdowns in Michigan's 34-32 lost to Appalachian State. ... Anthony Alridge had 22 carries for 205 yards and a touchdown, he also caught three passes for 88 yards and another score but Houston lost to Oregon 48-27. ... Kenneth Moore tied a Wake Forest record with 15 catches - one short of the ACC record held by four players - for 126 yards and a touchdown in the Demon Deacons 38-28 loss to Boston College. ...

THE REPLACEMENTS

Todd Boeckman completed 17-of-23 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns, in his first game replacing Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith and Ohio State beat Youngstown St. 38-6. ... Notre Dame's replacements for Brady Quinn were shut down in the Fighting Irish's 33-3 loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday. Demetrius Jones, Evan Sharpley and Jimmy Clausen combined to go 15-for-22 for a 130 yards.

SCORING SPREE

Nate Kmic rushed for four touchdowns in the first quarter as Mount Union shattered the NCAA record for points in a quarter, piling up 52 in its 75-7 rout of Averett. The defending Division III champion Purple Raiders broke the previous record of 50 points, scored by Alabama State in the second quarter against Prairie View on Oct. 26, 1991.

DEBUTS

- Michigan State rolled past Alabama-Birmingham, 55-18, giving Mark Dantonio a win in his debut as Spartan coach. UAB coach Neil Callaway also made his debut.

- Randy Shannon's coaching debut at Miami was a breeze. Unranked entering a season for the first time since 1998, Miami beat Marshall 31-3.

- Mario Cristobal's debut with Florida International was one to forget as the Golden Pathers were beaten by Penn State 59-0.

- UCLA defeated Stanford 45-17 to spoil the debut of Jim Harabaugh.

- Jeff Jagodzinski got a victory in his coaching debut as Boston College defeated Wake Forest 38-28.

- Air Force easily defeated South Carolina St. 34-3, to earn new coach Troy Calhoun his first victory.

STREAKING

With a 34-32 victory over Michigan, Appalachian State has won 15 straight games, the longest streak in the nation. ...

SPEAKING

''I wouldn't call it embarrassing because that takes away from them. We're disappointed. I can tell you that. ''It is one of the biggest losses ever, but give all the credit to Appalachian State.''- Michigan's Mike Hart after the Wolverines 34-32 loss to Appalachian State.

College Football Gameday

The second week of the college football season kicks off this weekend with a number of solid matchups. A Top 10 battle between Virginia Tech and LSU highlights the schedule that also includes an SEC matchup between South Carolina and Georgia, and a Top 25 clash between TCU and Texas.

South Carolina at Georgia (11)

Steve Spurrier’s Gamecocks started the season with a 28-14 win over Louisiana-Lafayette as a 28-point favorite. South Carolina got that win without starting quarterback Blake Mitchell, who was serving a one-game suspension for missing too many summer school classes. With Mitchell out, backup quarterbacks Chris Smelley and Tommy Beecher both saw action. Smelley finished the day completing 10-of-14 passes for 101 yards with a touchdown and an interception, while Beecher was 11-of-15 for 137 yards with a touchdown. Running back Cory Boyd had a pair of rushing touchdowns in the win. Mitchell will be back for Saturday’s game and should give the Gamecocks’ offense a jolt.

The Bulldogs easily won their opener 35-14 over Oklahoma State as a 6-point favorite. Matthew Stafford had a solid start to the season while completing 18-of-24 passes for 234 yards with two touchdowns. Thomas Brown ran in two touchdowns, while the defense smothered the usually potent Cowboys’ offense and registered five sacks.

The Bulldogs have won their last five meetings with the Gamecocks, including an 18-0 shutout last season as a 3-point favorite. The Bulldogs are favored by 3.5 points this time.


TCU (19) at Texas (7)

The Horned Frogs' defense pitched a shutout in their opener last week, a 27-0 win over Baylor as a 21.5-point favorite. The defense held the Bears at bay all game despite missing star defensive end Tommy Blake. After two long absences, Blake was held out of the opener and there has been no word yet if he’ll suit up on Saturday. While the Frogs’ defense held firm, the offense got rolling behind quarterback Andy Dalton. In his first college start Dalton completed 18-of-30 passes for 205 yards with a touchdown.

The Longhorns almost found themselves in the same boat as Michigan after they barely got past Arkansas State 21-13 as a huge 40.5-point favorite in their opener. Quarterback Colt McCoy played a very sloppy game while completing 22-of-33 passes for 223 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Running back Jamaal Charles started the season strong with 112 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries. The Texas defense will need to be much better the rest of the way after allowing the Indians to record 397 yards of offense.

The last time TCU and Texas squared off was way back in 1995 when the Longhorns defeated the Horned Frogs 27-19 as an 18-point favorite. The Longhorns are a 9-point favorite this weekend.


Virginia Tech (9) at LSU (2)

The Hokies weren’t exceptionally good in their season opener, but they did enough to get a 17-7 win over East Carolina as a 28-point favorite. Quarterback Sean Glennon was inconsistent throughout the game while completing 22-of-33 passes for 245 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Branden Ore was held to only 70 rushing yards on 23 carries, while Sam Wheeler led the Hokies with seven receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown. Virginia Tech’s saving grace in the win was an 18-yard interception return for a touchdown by Victor Harris.

The Tigers showed why they’re considered to be a top national championship contender in their 45-0 rout of Mississippi State last week. LSU was a 20-point favorite in the easy win. Quarterback Matt Flynn completed 12-of-19 passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns, while backup QB Ryan Perrilloux also threw a TD pass and ran in for a score. The Tigers’ defense pestered the Bulldogs all day long and picked off six passes in the shutout win.

Virginia Tech and LSU last faced off in 2002 when the Hokies dropped the Tigers 26-8 as a 6-point favorite. The Tigers are an 11.5-point favorite at home.

Toronto has only three wins, but they came by margins of 30-5/48-15/32-14; they're bad in close games.

Makin’ Canadian bacon: Week 11 CFL picks

Hamilton Tiger Cats at Toronto Argonauts (-11, 43 ½)
Saturday, Sept. 8, 3 p.m. ET

What a difference Michael Bishop makes to the Argos’ offense. Even without Arland Bruce, Toronto’s offense looks capable of hanging 30 points on any opponent. Hamilton has its share of problems, but defense isn’t one. That means Bishop’s numbers last Monday afternoon were well-earned.

Bettors eyeing the Tabbies with the points must convince themselves that Hamilton’s offense can put at least 15 to 20 points on the board. I don’t think that’s going to happen, even with a healthy Jesse Lumsden. The TiCats’ second-half stats with Jason Maas at quarterback trumped their first-half numbers under Timmy Chang. However, since the Argonauts had a big lead by the time Maas came in, they let him complete a lot of short stuff.

I took the under last week, assuming Rocky Butler would start for Toronto (that’s the problem with publishing a pick for a Monday game on the preceding Thursday). With Bishop’s rust long-gone, the over looks like the play for Saturday’s only contest, though Toronto favored by single digits would also be a find.

Pick: Over 43 ½


BC Lions at Montreal Alouettes (+1, 51)
Sunday, Sept. 9, 1 p.m. ET

I really misfired on this matchup last week, but judging by the chatter in the forum, I wasn’t alone. The Lions racked up 275 rushing yards against the league’s second-best run defense en route to scoring 43 points over the game’s final 33 minutes.

BC also kept Anthony Calvillo under constant pressure and kept Jarrett Payton out of the game by building a big lead. In other words, the Lions won both trench battles and proved why the West is the better division last Friday night.

The Als now return to the comfort of Percival Molson Memorial Stadium where they’ve won their last three games. The problem will be stopping a BC team that’s scored 45, 32 and 42 points respectively in its last three road games (2-0-1 straight up, 3-0 against the spread).

Jarious Jackson starts again for the Leos and Montreal can expect another heavy dose of BC’s ground attack. Of course, the club also expected it last week but didn’t do much to stop it.

Pick: Lions -1


Saskatchewan Roughriders at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (-2 ½, 50 ½)
Sunday, Sept. 9, 4 p.m. ET

Last Saturday’s clash in Regina delivered on the pre-game hype, but the Riders didn’t deliver a payday in their exciting 31-26 win.

This is the one game this weekend where I expect to see a big difference from the front end of the home-and-home series because Saskatchewan has shown more ability to learn from its mistakes than any other team. The Riders avenged their two losses this season in style, holding the Lions to nine points at BC Place after losing to BC at home earlier in the season and laying 54 points on the Eskimos a week after collapsing at Commonwealth.

Though Saskatchewan didn’t lose the game last Saturday, its young secondary certainly lost the battle against Winnipeg’s aerial attack. Richie Hall, Saskatchewan’s defensive coordinator, won’t stand for such shenanigans. An improved effort from the youngsters next Sunday should let the Riders maintain their title as the CFL’s strongest team.

Pick: Roughriders +2 ½

Last week: 1-3

Year to date: 16-20
