Upset Alert! Week 2
Posted: September 5th, 2014, 9:33 am
Well all three of the teams I had on upset alert last week won but by not near as much as the experts predicted. UCLA escaped UVA by 8, FSU escaped Oklahoma State by 4, and Bama beat WVU by 10.
Here are the teams I'm watching this week:
Ohio State - If they play as poorly the first half against Virginia Tech as they did against Navy, they will be in trouble. The talk has been about giving up nearly 400 yards rushing but my biggest concern for the buckeyes was their offense. Navy got stops and forced turnovers. Virginia Tech has a much better defense than Navy. I still call Ohio State but less than a TD. 20-14
South Carolina - Let's face it, they looked horrible at home against a team that I think will lose 4 games this year. There defense put up about as much resistance as a wet paper bag. Eastern Carolina isn't a great team but good enough to beat them. I'm calling 35-34 Blue Pirates.
Notre Dame - Not really sure what the hype on this team is about. I honestly don't even think this game will be that close. Playing at home at night will help but give me Michigan 31-19.
