      College football odds: Week 2 opening line report

      Beginning Thursday and finishing up Monday, Week 1 has been filled with the brand of excitement we have come to expect from NCAA ball.

      But let's look ahead to Week 2 of the season. A week which boasts a few big-time matchups.

      Here’s an early look at several important games, with help from Peter Korner, founder of the Las Vegas oddsmaking firm The Sports Club.

      South Carolina Gamecocks at Georgia Bulldogs (-6)

      Georgia (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS) suffered a tough 38-35 loss to Clemson as the Bulldogs opened the season on the wrong foot. Mark Richt and Co. will look to right the ship in the home opener in Athens in Week 2, but things won't get easier with the South Carolina Gamecocks (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) in town.

      "This is going to be a great game obviously," Korner told Covers. "We've got five guys that do the numbers and our range was pretty good. We were all between 5.5 and 6.5 Georgia and I put it at 6."

      Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Michigan Wolverines (-2.5)

      The Irish (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS) head into the Big House following a fairly lackluster performance at home against the Temple Owls. The Irish defense was not overly sharp as the Owls tallied 25 first downs and 362 total yards, running the ball effectively.

      "Notre Dame had a good game, but it wasn't something that overwhelmed us," says Korner. "We did have a variety of numbers anywhere from a pick 'em to Michigan -6. That -6 kind of stood out there a little bit too far and I threw the pick 'em and the 6 away and the rest of us were at 2, 2.5 and 3.5 so we'll put it at Michigan -2.5."

      Florida Gators (-2.5) at Miami Hurricanes
      Florida (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS) RB Mack Brown led the assault on Toledo as he rushed for 112 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the 24-6 victory over the Rockets to open the season. The competition gets ramped up a notch in Week 2 as the Gators face a tougher test versus in-state rivals The U.

      "We had ranges from 1.5 up to 6.5 on Florida," said Korner. On the road here we put it just below the 3 and we've got it at Florida -2.5 and it's going to be a really competitive game. Not necessarily a high-scoring game, but it should be a 26-24 or 24-21 type of game."

      West Virginia Mountaineers at Oklahoma Sooners (-19)
      The Sooners (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) beat up on an overmatched UL Monroe squad. The Sooners defense pitched a shutout and looked like a well-oiled machine versus an experienced Warhawks offense. That's a very promising performance for Sooners fans.

      "We had this as low as 14 and as high as 21," claims Korner. "The guys that had the higher numbers had the best arguments and I like the high end of this. We put out Oklahoma -19 and, basically, they shouldn't have any problem with this game."

              Armadillo's Write-Up

              Week 2


              Thursday's game
              East Carolina gave up 370 yards passing in 52-38 win over ODU in its opener; Pirates are 16-10 as home favorites since 2006, 6-4 under Ruffin. ECU has junior QB (13 starts) and experienced OL (88 starts). Florida Atlantic lost its best return guy to grades; they're 7-1 as road dogs after covering in 34-6 (+31) loss at Miami last week (TY 250-503). Owls' QB has only two starts, its OL only 28- they gave up 303 yards rushing at Miami. ECU better not look ahead to Virginia Tech game next week.

              Friday's games
              Wake Forest/Boston College split last 10 games; Wake won last couple meetings, 27-19/28-14- they're 3-2 in last five visits here, with losses by 3-10 points. Underdogs are 6-4 vs spread in series, 3-2 here. Since '07, Deacons are 7-15 as road underdogs. BC has ten defensive starters back; they were down 14-7 at half to I-AA Villanova last week, won 24-14 in game, forcing four turnovers (TY 413-355). Eagles are 3-7 in last 10 tilts as a home favorite. Both teams have experienced QBs and three senior starters on offensive line.

              Home side won both Central Florida-FIU games last two years; Knights avenged upset loss in '11 with 33-20 win (-17) LY (TY 431-306). Over last decade, UCF is 9-15 as road favorite, 2-5 last two years- they've got game at Penn State next week, will probably overlook this some. FIU is 9-6 as home dog since '06, but they were 1-4 LY- they lost seven starters on both sides of ball, including all five starters on OL. UCF has one of more underrated QBs in country (Bortles, 15 starts); they averaged 11.8 yards/pass attempt last week, converted 9-14 on third down in waxing Akron 38-7 (-23.5).

                Thursday's NCAAF action: What bettors need to know
                ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                With the NFL season opener stealing the spotlight, Thursday's two college football contests are in the dark. That could mean added value with football bettors looking elsewhere for action. Here's a quick look at this pair of games:

                FAU Owls at East Carolina Pirates (-20.5, 54)


                The Owls expect to have freshman QB Greg Hankerson back under center after he left FAU’s 34-6 loss to Miami with a rib injury. Hankerson fell on the football while being tackled, leaving passing duties to sophomore Jaquez Johnson. Johnson, who started the game and split time with Hankerson, was 11 for 20 for 83 yards passing and added 30 yards rushing. Owls offensive coordinator Brian Wright will alternate between the two Thursday.

                East Carolina won’t be rolling out the welcome mat for FAU in its first C-USA game. The Pirates put up 52 points in a warm-up win over Old Dominion in Week 1 (52-38) but failed to cover as 15-point home favorites. Quarterback Shane Carden set a school record with 447 yards passing (ECU had 481 total yards of offense) in that win, finding WR Justin Hardy for 191 of those gains and WR Davon Grayson for three touchdowns on four catches.

                Key betting stat: Over is 6-1 in Pirates’ last seven games overall.


                Sacramento State at Arizona State Sun Devils (-37)

                Arizona State and Sacramento State will be looking for their first points of the season Thursday night, but only the host Sun Devils will be playing their opener. The FCS' Hornets are coming off a 24-0 loss at San Jose State, and the opposition doesn't get any easier with Arizona State. The Sun Devils are looking to build upon an 8-5 record in coach Todd Graham's inaugural season in the desert, and with 17 returning starters Arizona State plans to contend with nationally-ranked USC and UCLA in the Pac-12 South Division.

                Of those returning starters, quarterback Taylor Kelly and defensive tackle Will Sutton stand out. Kelly had a breakout campaign as a sophomore last season, passing for 3,039 yards and 29 touchdowns against nine interceptions. Sutton is the reigning Pac-12 defensive player of the year after recording 63 tackles and 13 sacks in a dominant junior year.

                Key betting stat: Over is 7-1 in Sun Devils' last eight Thursday games.

                  Game of the Day: Wake Forest at Boston College
                  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Boston College Eagles (-3, 48.5)

                  Wake Forest and Boston College look to build on season-opening wins over FCS opponents when the teams begin ACC play in Chestnut Hill on Friday. Boston College marked coach Steve Addazio’s debut with a 24-14 win over Villanova last week, while Wake Forest forced six turnovers and allowed only two first downs in a 31-7 win over Presbyterian. Nine of the last 10 meetings in the series have been decided by 10 or fewer points.

                  Boston College finished 2-10 overall and 1-7 in conference play last season, but there were some encouraging signs in the win over Villanova. Senior linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis had a team-high 12 tackles to lead the Eagles’ defense, which finished 100th in the nation in total yards allowed last season. The unit needs another strong performance against the Demon Deacons and freshman wide receiver Jonathan Williams, who had five catches for 143 yards in his first game.

                  TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN2.

                  LINE: Boston College opened at -1 and has been bet up to a field-goal favorite. The total opened at 48 and has climb half a point to 48.5.

                  WEATHER: Temperatures in the mid 50s with clear skies and winds blowing SSW at 4 mph.

                  ABOUT WAKE FOREST (1-0): The Demon Deacons, picked to finish fourth in the ACC Atlantic Division, expect to have All-ACC receiver Michael Campanaro back after he missed last Saturday’s game with a sore hamstring. Campanaro’s return would be a welcome boost for a Wake Forest team that ranked 116th nationally in scoring last season and failed to establish the run in the season opener. The Demon Deacons are hoping for a bounce-back effort from sophomore kicker Chad Hedlund, who missed two of three field goal attempts against Presbyterian.

                  ABOUT BOSTON COLLEGE (1-0): Senior running back Andre Williams carried 23 times for 114 yards last week, but he left the game with a hamstring injury and could miss Friday’s contest. If Williams is forced to sit out, the Eagles will rely heavily on quarterback Chase Rettig and wide receiver Alex Amidon, who had a career-high 13 receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown against Villanova. Redshirt freshman Bobby Wolford, who switched from linebacker to fullback last month, made an immediate impact last week with 84 receiving yards and a touchdown.

                  TRENDS:

                  * Favorite is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings.
                  * Over is 4-1 in the last six meetings in Boston College.
                  * Demon Deacons are 8-17 ATS in their last 25 road games.
                  * Under is 19-7-1 in Eagles' last 27 conference games.

                  EXTRA POINTS:

                  1. Boston College has lost two straight to Wake Forest following four consecutive victories.

                  2. After playing a total of 22 true freshmen in his first 12 years at Wake Forest, coach Jim Grobe used 10 first-year players against Presbyterian.

                  3. Boston College senior K Nate Freese has made 52 of his 63 career field-goal attempts.

                      Week 2


                      Saturday's games
                      Top 13 games


                      Florida-Miami haven’t met since ’08; Gators haven’t played ‘canes here since ’03. Both teams won fairly handily last week, Miami outgained FAU 503-250, led 20-3 at half; Gators outgained Toledo 415-205, led 17-3 at half, but neither covered as big favorites. Since 2007, Florida is 12-4 as road favorite; they’re 27-12 vs spread in last 39 non-league games (1-4 last five). Miami is 8-3-1 as underdog under Golden; over last decade, they’re 5-2 as home dogs. Both teams have veteran QBs and experience OLs.

                      Temple lost 28-6 at Notre Dame last week because their kicker is awful; they left 10+ points on field when game was close; total yardage in game was 543-362. Owl QB Reilly is pretty good. Houston-Temple are league rivals who haven’t met since ’89 because AAC is new league. Since ’08, Cougars are 6-14 as road favorites- they’ve got veteran QB (9 starts) and four starters back on OL- they whacked outmanned Southern 62-13 last week (627-372 TY, 27-6 at half). Temple is just 5-6 vs spread as a dog since Golden left for Miami, but Owls are 13-7-1 in last 21 tries as a home dog.

                      In his three years at Texas Tech, Tuberville was 6-1-1 vs spread as a road favorite; his Cincinnati team is 8-5 as road faves since ’09, 9-4 in last 13 non-league games. Cincy has all five starters back on OL, including three seniors. Since ’06, Illinois is 7-5 as home dog; they’re 9-6 in last 15 non-league games. Illini also has experienced OL but no seniors start there. Bearcats (-10.5) crushed Purdue of Big Dozen 42-7 last week, running ball for 221 yards, passing for 204, good balance. Illini beat I-AA Southern Illinois 42-34, giving up 341 passing yards, not a good sign.

                      LY, West Virginia gained 778 yards vs Oklahoma, and lost 50-49, in an amazingly odd game in which WVU ran ball for 458 yards and lost, which almost never happens, except maybe to a service academy. Austin/Bailey/Jones are all in NFL now; Mountaineers struggled to beat I-AA Wm & Mary 24-17 last week (trailed 17-7 at half); since ’05, they’re 9-3 as road underdogs (3-1 under Holgorsen). Since ’06, Sooners are 26-15-1 as home favorites; they threw for 554 yards in this game LY. OU outgained ULM 429-166 last week, but completed only 14 of 33 passes.

                      South Carolina beat Georgia last three years, after losing seven of previous eight meetings; they’ve won two of last three visits between hedges, with underdogs 3-0-1 vs spread in Carolina’s last four visits here. Dawgs outgained Clemson 545-467 last week, but botched tying 25-yard FG late in third quarter and lost by 3; Georgia has only three starters back on defense- they’re 11-7 as home favorites since ’10, but since ’04, they’re 10-16 in game following a loss. Gamecocks are 14-9-1 as road dogs under Spurrier, 21-16-2 overall as dogs in his tenure. Both teams have veteran QBs and experienced OLs. SEC opener for both.

                      Duke (-23) beat Memphis 38-19 LY, outgaining Tigers 500-152 despite a -4 turnover ratio. Blue Devils are football road favorite for first time since 2005; they’re 8-3-1 vs spread as favorites under Cutcliffe, though and 11-7 in last 18 non-ACC games. Duke has four starters back on very experienced OL (118 starts) with an inexperienced QB. Memphis was 3-1 as home dogs in Fuente’s (former Oklahoma QB) first year as HC; they had been 4-11 as home dogs from ’09-’11. Tigers didn’t play last week, so that helps Duke, which got to work some kinks out in 45-0 win over I-AA chump. Memphis has a senior QB (12 starts) and 54 starts back on OL.

                      Northwestern (-1) won wild 42-41 game in Carrier Dome LY, despite being outgained 596-337. Wildcats were 5-0 as home favorites LY, after being 6-17 in that role from ’03-’11. Fitzgerald’s team lost its QB early last week at Cal, scored two defensive TDs in second half and left Bay Area with 44-30 win (-6). Cal’s hurry-up offense gained 558 yards despite Wildcats faking injuries to slow it down. Syracuse (+7.5) lost 23-17 to Penn State in Swamp, getting outgained 353-260; game was 6-3 at half- SU is 14-7-1 vs spread in last 22 non-league games. Neither team is experienced on OL or at QB, but Wildcats’ program has more continuity, with Marrone gone to NFL.

                      Over last decade, Navy is 24-8 vs spread as road underdog; Middies (-3) ran ball for 257 yards in 31-30 home win over Indiana last year, in game Hoosiers led 30-21 in 4th quarter; Middies didn't play last week, while Hoosiers waxed I-AA foe 73-35 in game where its offense gave Indiana State two TDs. Since 2004, Hoosiers are 11-8 as home favorite (2-2 with Wilson)- they've got 19 starters back from LY. Navy has soph QB with nine starts and three starters back on OL.

                      BYU forced 13 punts but lost 19-16 in quagmire at Virginia last week, so hard to learn much from that; Cougars (+7) lost 17-16 at Texas couple years ago- they're 2-3 as home underdog under Mendenhall. BYU has a soph QB and only 49 starts on its OL, so they're rebuilding. Texas has one of most experienced OLs in country (129 starts); Longhorns waxed a poor New Mexico State team 56-7 last week, after struggling (14-7) in first half. Since '08, Texas is 11-6 as a road favorite- they covered seven of last nine non-league games. Longhorns lost seven defensive starters from LY, so this will be a tougher test than Aggies were last week. '

                      Auburn (-15.5) ran ball for 295 yards last week but struggled in passing game (10-20/99); they're 3-6 in last nine games as home favorite, 14-23 in last 37 non-SEC games. Malzahn led Arkansas State to 10-3 record LY, then bolted for Auburn, as Red Wolves are now on 4th HC in four years; they've got ten starters back on offense, only three on defense, will be more motivated team here. Tigers have SEC games with Miss State/LSU next two weeks, better not look past ASU, which is 21-6 SU in its last 27 games. ASU is 4-1 as road dog last two years- they've got four starters back on OL. Auburn has no senior starters on OL.

                      Underdogs covered seven of last nine Bowling Green-Kent State games, with Kent winning last three meetings by 7-12-24 points, after going 1-7 in previous eight series games. Falcons won five of last six trips to Kent; underdogs covered seven of their last eight visits here. BG has senior QB with 36 starts as one of 19 returning starters- they ran ball for 233 yards in 34-7 win over Tulsa last week, while Flashes struggled to beat Liberty (I-AA team) 17-10 (TY 361-222). Kent has only 43 starts back on OL; they're also on third HC in last four years, after Hazell left for Purdue, and they're playing a redshirt freshman QB.

                      Underdogs won 10 of last 14 Notre Dame-Michigan games SU, with dog 11-3 vs spread in those games; ND lost six of last seven visits here, with losses in last three visits: 35-31/38-34/38-0. Over last eight years, Irish are 13-7 as road dogs (4-1 in three years under Kelly); they ended this rivalry because of move to ACC- this is their last visit to Ann Arbor for foreseeable future. Michigan lost 13-6 in South Bend LY despite -4 TO ratio; they're 8-5 as road dog under Hoke, havwe junior QB (10 starts) and OL with 63 starts. Senior Rees has 19 starts for ND, which has 83 starts back on OL and eight starters back on defense. Home team won five of last six series games.

                      USC won its last eight games vs Washington State (6-2 vs spread), with Coogs losing last four visits here (1-3 vs spread) by 21-33-42-27 points, but their last visit here was in '10. Trojans completed only 15-29 thru air last week, converted only 3-14 on 3rd down in 30-13 win at Hawai'i, as Kiffin hasn't settled on a QB yet. Wazzu (+15.5) lost 34-27 at Auburn, giving up 295 rush yards, but they had chance to win; Coogs are 10-8 in last 18 games as road underdog, have 82 starts back on OL and are much improved in Leach's second year. USC is 7-3 as home favorite last two years; they've got four starters back on OL, will try to pound ball here.

                          ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          Saturday's NCAAF Top 25 betting cheat sheet: Afternoon action
                          ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles at Wisconsin Badgers (-45)

                          If first-year head coach Gary Andersen can keep the Wisconsin defense performing on par with its running game, then Saturday's non-conference game against visiting Tennessee Tech could be just the latest in a long line of victories for the nation's 21st-ranked team. The Badgers ran for 393 yards last week in a 45-0 rout over Massachusetts, but more importantly, their new 3-4 defense shut out the Minutemen while holding them to 3.6 yards per play. "If I could characterize it in one word, it would be solid," defensive end Ethan Hemer said. "Guys made plays, caused turnovers. It was overall a pretty solid performance."

                          Tennessee Tech had an impressive showing of its own by posting a 63-7 victory over Cumberland of the NAIA. The margin of victory was its largest in a season opener. Sophomore Ladarius Vanlier had back-to-back touchdowns of more than 50 yards and quarterback Darian Stone passed for two scores and ran for two more while leading the offense to 505 total yards.

                          Key betting stat: Badgers are 1-6 ATS in their last seven non-conference games.

                          Southeastern Louisiana Lions at TCU Horned Frogs (-43)

                          Senior quarterback Casey Pachall will remain Texas Christian's starting quarterback despite a late-game switch in last week's loss to Louisiana State. Sophomore Trevone Boykin, who started nine games last year after Pachall left for an impatient rehab facility, could play wide receiver when the No. 24 Horned Frogs host Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday. "If anything we need to get the ball to (Boykin)," coach Gary Patterson told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Sunday. "He played well as a wide receiver."

                          The Lions had a record day behind former Oregon quarterback Bryan Bennett but will have their hands full against a Horned Frogs' defense that has allowed 17 or fewer points eight times during an 11-game win streak in home openers. Patterson wouldn't divulge the availability for sophomore defensive lineman Devonte Fields, who was given a two-game suspension in May for breaking team rules. Fields is listed atop the team's depth chart and coaches are worried about the possibility of injury for next week's game against Texas Tech, but a decision will come from Patterson and TCU chancellor Victor Boschini.

                          Key betting stat: Horned Frogs are 0-5 ATS in their last five home games.

                          Florida Gators at Miami Hurricanes (+3, 48)

                          The state of Florida has produced some of the most bitter rivalries of the last generation in college football, and No. 9 Florida and No. 24 Miami are gearing up for another chapter on Saturday. The Hurricanes will host the Gators in what could be the last meeting for the foreseeable future, as Florida will lose a non-conference game in a proposed expansion to a nine-game SEC schedule. Miami and the Gators will both be putting strong defenses on display.

                          The Hurricanes are having a harder time finding their way into the top half of the Top-25 than in-state rivals Florida and Florida State, but showed plenty of promise in a Week 1 drubbing of Florida Atlantic. Miami sophomore running back Duke Johnson shouldered most of the offensive load and will be attacking a Florida defense that surrendered only 50 yards on the ground in its opening win over Toledo. Johnson racked up 186 yards despite sitting out most of the second half.

                          Key betting stat: Gators are 1-5 ATS in their last six non-conference games.

                          Oklahoma State Cowboys at Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners (+26, 59.5)

                          It certainly did not take long for J.W. Walsh to earn the respect of Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy. After coming off the bench in the Cowboys’ season opener, Walsh will start at quarterback in Saturday’s game at UTSA. Gundy said earlier this week that Walsh, a sophomore, would likely play the entire game, leaving fifth-year senior Clint Chelf on the bench for 14th-ranked Oklahoma State.

                          Chelf played the first two series last week against Mississippi State before Gundy switched to Walsh, who completed 18-of-27 passes for 135 yards. Walsh also ran for 125 yards and a score, while Jeremy Smith added 102 rushing yards and a pair of TDs in the 21-3 victory. The Cowboys’ defense bottled up the Bulldogs and will look to do the same against the Roadrunners, who scored 21 unanswered points to win at New Mexico last week 21-13.

                          Key betting stat: Under is 21-7-1 in Cowboys' last 29 road games.

                          Eastern Kentucky Colonels at Louisville Cardinals (-41)

                          No. 8 Louisville looks feed off the momentum of its explosive season-opening victory as it hosts Eastern Kentucky on Saturday. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater became the first Player of the Week in American Athletic Conference history, rolling up 355 yards and tying a career high with five touchdown passes in the Cardinals' 49-7 trouncing of Ohio. Louisville coach Charlie Strong's first collegiate win came against the Colonels in 2010.

                          Eastern Kentucky entered the season following an 8-3 finish in 2012, tying for second in the Ohio Valley Conference with Tennessee-Martin. The Colonels cruised to a 38-6 win over Robert Morris last week in the debut for 11 starters. Quarterback Jared McClain, who was taking over for Eastern Kentucky's all-time passing leader T.J. Pryor, passed for two scores and ran for two more in the victory.

                          Key betting stat: Cardinals are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing less than 275 total yards in their previous game.

                          South Carolina State Bulldogs at Clemson Tigers (-52.5)

                          Seven days after posting one of its biggest victories in recent memory, Clemson hopes to avoid a letdown against visiting South Carolina State on Saturday. The Tigers moved up to fifth in the national poll after edging previously No. 5 Georgia 38-35 in a Week 1 thriller. Tajh Boyd threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more scores in a win that “turned a lot of heads in college football,” according to the senior quarterback.

                          As Boyd continues his early-season push for Heisman Trophy consideration, the matchup with FCS foe South Carolina State presents an opportunity to rack up some impressive stats. The Bulldogs faced two FBS programs in 2012, losing to Arizona and Texas A&M by a combined margin of 126-14. In their 2013 season opener, South Carolina State held a slim halftime lead before falling to Coastal Carolina 27-20.

                          Key betting stat: Over is 7-1 in Tigers last 8 games in September.

                          San Diego State Aztecs at Ohio State Buckeyes (-27.5, 56)

                          Second-ranked Ohio State looks to stretch the nation’s longest winning streak to 14 games when it hosts San Diego State on Saturday. The Buckeyes defeated Buffalo 40-20 in their season-opening game and will have junior All-American cornerback Bradley Roby back from a one-game suspension due to a disorderly-conduct incident. San Diego State has just one victory in 32 road contests against ranked teams, and that victory occurred last season when the Aztecs won 21-19 at Boise State.

                          San Diego State got off to a poor start as it committed five turnovers and was drubbed at home 40-19 by FCS school Eastern Illinois. Buckeyes junior quarterback Braxton Miller, who finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy balloting last season, passed for 178 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 77 yards against Buffalo. Miller has 2,063 career rushing yards and needs 18 more to surpass Cornelius Greene (1973-75) as the most prolific running quarterback in Ohio State history.

                          Key betting stat: Aztecs are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games.

                          Oregon Ducks at Virginia Cavaliers (+22.5, 61)

                          No. 3 Oregon takes its high-powered offense on the road to Virginia on Saturday, the farthest east the Ducks have played since a 1977 trip to Georgia. The Ducks, who have never played an ACC team during the regular season, own the nation's longest road win streak at 15 games. The Ducks had eight touchdown drives last less than two minutes and racked up a school-record 772 yards against Nicholls State last week in Mark Helfrich's debut as head coach.

                          The Cavaliers got a taste of an up-tempo offense last week as BYU gained 362 yards on 93 plays. Oregon and BYU each averaged 16.7 seconds per play last Saturday, but the Ducks' speed still is unlike anything first-year Virginia defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta has seen. "The plays are similar, everybody runs the similar plays ... out of the spread offense," Tenuta said during this week's conference call. "There's a lot of similarities based on that aspect, but as far as the speed factor is concerned, in the last few years, no."

                          Key betting stat: Cavaliers are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine home games.

                          South Carolina Gamecocks at Georgia Bulldogs (-3, 56)

                          Sixth-ranked South Carolina opens its SEC schedule Saturday with an opportunity to take a big step toward winning the East Division title as it visits No. 12 Georgia. Junior defensive end Jadeveon Clowney struggled throughout the Gamecocks' season-opening 27-10 victory over North Carolina due to a stomach virus, looking nothing like the player who won the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year honor in 2012. South Carolina displayed a balanced offensive approach in scoring the game’s first 17 points and will look to continue that trend this week.

                          Georgia’s defense struggled in a 38-35 loss at Clemson, allowing 13 plays of at least 10 yards. The bad news was not limited to that side of the ball - junior wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee celebrating the Bulldogs’ first touchdown and will miss the rest of the season. Two areas of focus for Georgia this week will be better results on third down (4-for-14 in the opener) and playing smarter (nine penalties for 84 yards).

                          Key betting stat: Road team is 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight meetings.

                            ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                            Syracuse Orange at Northwestern Wildcats (-17, 53)

                            Backup quarterback Trevor Siemian was the hero for Northwestern against Syracuse last season, and he may get a chance to squeeze the Orange again this weekend. In Northwestern’s 2012 season opener, Siemian came on for an injured Kain Colter and threw the game-winning touchdown pass with 44 seconds left, lifting his team to a 42-41 victory over the Orange. With Colter banged up again, Siemian could get the start for the No. 20 Wildcats on Saturday in their home opener versus Syracuse.

                            Northwestern is coming off a 44-30 victory at California in which the offense piled up 508 yards despite Colter suffering a concussion on the opening drive. Siemian came on to pass for 276 yards and a touchdown, while the Northwestern defense also made some big plays, including two interceptions returned for touchdowns by junior linebacker Collin Ellis. Syracuse fell to Penn State 23-17 last week in the debut of senior quarterback Drew Allen, a transfer from Oklahoma who was 16-of-37 for 189 yards and two interceptions against the Nittany Lions.

                            Key betting stat: Wildcats are 8-0 ATS in their last eight home games.

                            Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles at Nebraska Cornhuskers (-28, 59.5)

                            Nebraska survived a scare from Wyoming in its season opener but should be able to celebrate a larger margin of victory when it hosts Southern Mississippi on Saturday. The No. 19 Cornhuskers allowed a stunning 602 yards in a 37-34 victory over Wyoming and strive for a much better performance against the Golden Eagles, who possess the nation’s longest losing streak at 13 consecutive games. Southern Miss lost 22-15 to Texas State in Todd Monken’s debut as coach.

                            The Golden Eagles outgained FCS school Texas State 400-207 but sabotaged themselves with six turnovers – four fumbles, two interceptions. Nebraska’s yardage allowed was its second-most ever in a victory (610 versus Ball State in 2007) as a young unit took its lumps against Wyoming and allowed eight plays of 20 or more yards. Senior quarterback Taylor Martinez bruised his left shoulder during the contest and is expected to be fully ready by kickoff.

                            Key betting stat: Golden Eagles are 0-4 ATS in their last four vs. Big Ten.

                            Texas Longhorns at BYU Cougars (+7, 57.5)

                            No. 16 Texas set a school mark for total offense in its opener and now faces a tough defensive squad when it visits Brigham Young on Saturday. The Longhorns rolled up 715 yards in a 56-7 rout of New Mexico State and had four scoring plays of 50 or more yards for the first time in program history. Brigham Young finished third in total defense last season and allowed 223 yards and forced 13 punts in a season-opening 19-16 loss to Virginia.

                            The Cougars hope to have senior receiver Cody Hoffman on the field after he missed the opener with a hamstring injury. Hoffman had eight 100-yard receiving games last season and ranks third in BYU history in receiving touchdowns (28), fourth in career receptions (203) and fifth in receiving yardage (2,718). Texas has won 13 consecutive non-conference road games and is attempting to get back into the national championship discussion this season after going 22-16 over the last three years.

                            Key betting stat: Longhorns are 4-0 ATS in their last four non-conference games.

                            UAB Blazers at LSU Tigers (-34.5, 60.5)

                            No. 11 LSU will look to carry forward the offensive fortitude it displayed in last week’s season-opening 37-27 victory over TCU, but as the Tigers host UAB on Saturday, there will be a focus on eliminating the mistakes that kept the opener close. The Tigers gave up a kickoff return for a touchdown, set up another TCU score with a fumble at their 6-yard line and kept a drive alive with a roughing the passer penalty. “If we improve on our tackling, we minimize some of the penalties, we don’t turn the ball over, it could have been a much different game,” LSU coach Les Miles told reporters Tuesday.

                            The Tigers figure to have an easier time with a UAB squad that allowed 497 yards and blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead in a 34-31 overtime loss to Troy in its season opener. The Blazers allowed 319 yards passing as Troy quarterback Corey Robinson set a NCAA record by completing 93.8 percent of his passes (30-for-32). LSU senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger passed for 251 yards and a touchdown against TCU in Cam Cameron’s first game as offensive coordinator, and the Tigers’ defense surrendered only 259 yards.

                            Key betting stat: Over is 7-3 in Tigers' last 10 non-conference games.

                            West Virginia Mountaineers at Oklahoma Sooners (-21, 57.5)

                            No. 15 Oklahoma and visiting West Virginia enter Saturday's Big 12 opener after debuting new quarterbacks and improved defenses in season-opening wins last week. The Sooners, who posted their first shutout since 2010, pointed to a 2012 meeting with the Mountaineers as one of their defensive low points. "Between that night (a 50-49 road win) and what happened in the bowl game (a 41-13 loss to Texas A&M), it obviously convinced us that we needed to adjust our defense," defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said at Monday's press conference. "(We had to) be more flexible and more diverse and put more pressure on the quarterback."

                            West Virginia posted a second-half shutout in a rally against William & Mary after an inexperienced defense settled down. Junior quarterback Paul Millard has been tabbed the starter for the Mountaineers for the second straight week but junior backup Clint Trickett could figure in the offense attack. Oklahoma redshirt freshman Trevor Knight showed off more of his running ability than his arm in his debut.

                            Key betting stat: Mountaineers are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall.

                            Sam Houston State Bearkats at Texas A&M Aggies (-37.5)

                            One week before its highly anticipated showdown with No. 1-ranked Alabama, seventh-ranked Texas A&M welcomes FCS opponent Sam Houston State to Kyle Field on Saturday. All eyes figure to be on Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel, who tossed three touchdown passes in the second half of the Aggies’ 52-31 win over Rice last Saturday. The sophomore quarterback was also benched late in the game after drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for taunting.

                            Manziel’s antics overshadowed the Aggies’ season-opening win, which featured a shaky performance by the defensive unit. With five defensive starters suspended, Texas A&M allowed a surprising 509 yards of total offense against Rice. Two of the suspended players are due back against Southland Conference opponent Sam Houston State, which extended its home win streak to 15 games with a 74-0 victory over Houston Baptist last Saturday.

                            Key betting stat: Under is 8-2 in Aggies last 10 games following a SU win of more than 20 points.

                            Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Michigan Wolverines (-3.5, 50)

                            Notre Dame hasn't won at Michigan's "Big House" since 2005, a fact the 13th-ranked Fighting Irish need to remedy Saturday to keep their hopes of getting back to the national championship game alive. The 17th-ranked Wolverines seek their 400th victory at Michigan Stadium - and their 16th straight under coach Brady Hoke. Michigan has won six of its last seven home games versus Notre Dame, including three straight - one shy of its longest home win streak in the series.

                            The Wolverines hold a 23-16-1 edge in the series between the teams with the two best winning percentages in college football history. But the Irish defense dominated last year's matchup, intercepting Denard Robinson five times in a 13-6 victory. That sort of defensive performance would be even more impressive against this Michigan team, which rolled up 463 yards in a 59-9 win over Central Michigan last week.

                            Key betting stat: Home team is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings.

                            Washington State Cougars at USC Trojans (-15.5, 53.5)

                            No. 22 USC hopes explosive tailback Silas Redd will be ready when it begins Pac-12 Conference play against visiting Washington State on Saturday. Redd missed last week's game at Hawaii, further hampering an offense in flux. The Trojans still haven't decided on a starting quarterback for Saturday with Max Wittek and Cody Kessler still battling for Matt Barkley's old job.

                            The Cougars opened the season with a hard-fought 31-24 loss at Auburn last week. Washington State surrendered a kickoff return for a touchdown and had its comeback hopes ended when Connor Halliday was picked off in the end zone with five minutes left. Washington State has lost 20 straight games to ranked opponents and hasn't beaten USC since 2002.

                            Key betting stat: Over is 10-3 in the last 13 meetings.

                            San Jose State Spartans at Stanford Cardinal (-25, 48.5)

                            Stanford enters its season opener Saturday against visiting San Jose State as a heavy favorite, but the Spartans are very capable of making things interesting. San Jose State has won eight straight and 12 of its last 13 games, including a 24-0 win over Sacramento State in Week 1. The Spartans are unlikely to be overlooked by the fourth-ranked Cardinal, who won their fifth straight game in the series last season by a narrow 20-17 margin.

                            San Jose State’s upset hopes are fueled by senior quarterback David Fales, who is 12-2 as a starter and ended last season as the nation's most accurate passer. He’ll be tested by a Stanford defense that led the country in sacks last season and returns eight starters, including linebackers Shayne Skov and Trent Murphy. The Spartans’ running game could struggle without starting tailback Tyler Ervin, who hasn’t practiced since leaving last Thursday's game with a right foot injury.

                            Key betting stat: Spartans are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 meetings.

                              Game of the Day: Notre Dame at Michigan

                              Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Michigan Wolverines (-4, 50)

                              Notre Dame hasn't won at Michigan's "Big House" since 2005, a fact the 13th-ranked Fighting Irish need to remedy Saturday to keep their hopes of getting back to the national championship game alive. The 17th-ranked Wolverines seek their 400th victory at Michigan Stadium - and their 16th straight under coach Brady Hoke. Michigan has won six of its last seven home games versus Notre Dame, including three straight - one shy of its longest home win streak in the series.

                              The Wolverines hold a 23-16-1 edge in the series between the teams with the two best winning percentages in college football history. But the Irish defense dominated last year's matchup, intercepting Denard Robinson five times in a 13-6 victory. That sort of defensive performance would be even more impressive against this Michigan team, which rolled up 463 yards in a 59-9 win over Central Michigan last week.

                              TV: 8:12 p.m. ET, ESPN.

                              LINE: Michigan opened at -3.5 and has been bet up to -4.

                              WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the low-70s and there is a 29 percent chance of thunderstorms in the forecast. Wind will blow toward the north end zone of the Big House at 4 mph.

                              ABOUT NOTRE DAME (1-0): The Irish faced some turmoil in the offseason, most notably losing quarterback Everett Golson when he was suspended from the school for the fall semester. Tommy Rees stepped in under center and was effective in last week's 24-6 win against Temple, going 16-for-23 for 346 yards and three touchdowns. The defense, dominant during the undefeated regular season a year ago, picked up where it left off but will have its hands full with a Michigan team loaded with talent at the skill positions.

                              ABOUT MICHIGAN (1-0): The Wolverines' offense flourished last week under quarterback Devin Gardner, who was 10-of-15 for 162 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 52 yards and two scores. Gardner has accounted for at least two touchdowns in six straight games. The defense had a strong showing, as well, holding Central Michigan to 210 total yards and forcing two turnovers as the Wolverines aim for a third consecutive season ranking in the top 20 in the nation in total defense.

                              TRENDS:

                              * The Fighting Irish are 4-1 ATS in their last five versus the Big Ten.
                              * The over is 4-0 in the Wolverines' last four home games.
                              * The home team is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings.
                              * The underdog is 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings.

                              EXTRA POINTS:

                              1. Notre Dame is 11-0 when it does not commit a turnover under coach Brian Kelly, whose five-year contract extension was announced Saturday.

                              2. Michigan K Brendan Gibbons has made a school record-tying 14 consecutive field goals dating to last season.

                              3. Eighteen of the past 28 meetings have been decided by seven points or fewer
