One of our selections for this opening weekend, UCF and the Akron Zips, didn't fail to please...or pay.
*** Central Florida -23 1/2 @ Akron WIN
UCF scored early and often en route to putting up a 56-14 victory over our favorite underdog, the Akron Zips. It was 35-0 at the half, then the reserves came in. It's a fine start to our year, a three star winner.
A couple other teams made an impact on me inThursday night's games, though for different reasons. Minnesota, under coach Jerry Kill (the former guru of Northern Illinois), looked simply terrible against UNLV. They are going to get crushed in conference play if Thursday is a true representation of who they are. They have an athlete at QB, not a QB, and the athlete is not an elite player, though it's tough to tell how much was due to Minnesota's porous offensive line. . Their offense performs as if they met each other a few days ago and decided to improvise. UNLV was a perrrrfect opponent; they're just not very good. Things got entertaining at the end as the two had to go to OT to decide things.
BYU and Washington State showed that BYU is solid again and Mike Leach and WSU have a long way to go to achieve anything on offense. The game was rather polite. Might even say boring, as WSU was out of it pretty early, losing 30-6.
finally, while Steve Spurrier and SoCarolina beat Vandy, 17-13, they couldn't cover, due in part to Their QB playing most of the game with an injured arm. The Gamecocks are pretty good, but Vandy was pretty impressive. Keep an eye on them to make some noise as the season progresses.
