UCLA vs Bowling Green Game Preview

Why Bowling Green Will Win

The offense should eventually be more fun.

Bowling Green has the receivers, and it has the quarterback in Matt McDonald who knows what he’s doing. The experience of the attack has to start translating into production, and the defensive line needs to use its veterans to hold up early on.

UCLA has a few new parts of the offensive line that have to blend in right away, and the receiving corps is a wee bit of a question mark until Duke transfer Jake Bobo proves he can be the team’s No. 1.

For all of the problems Bowling Green had last year, it had the best pass defense in the MAC. However …

Why UCLA Will Win

That’s a wee bit misleading. The Bowling Green pass defense was statistically great because the run D got ripped to shreds.

Yes, the top guys up front are back, but there aren’t going to be enough plays in the backfield to worry. UCLA’s renovated offensive front should be just good enough to get Zach Charbonnet and the rest of the running backs rolling right away.

The transfer portal that took over the UCLA defensive front should get an easy warm up – Bowling Green’s offensive line won’t do anything – and Hawaii transfer Darius Muasau should gum up everything.

Bowling Green has to bomb away to win, and …

What’s Going To Happen

UCLA could use the work.

Bowling Green was able to shock Minnesota last year in one of the weirdest games possible, but UCLA should be able to use this to get all of the parts in place in the receiving corps, the defensive front, and in several other spots after losing a ton of talent.

It still has Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback, the ground game will be fine, and after a few rough drives, it’ll all kick in with over 200 yards from the rushing attack paving the way.

If the 2022 Season had a 12-Team College Football Playoff

The best team of the worst conference would be a 3-seed if the 12-team playoff was this year. | Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports Maybe it was time for an expanded playoff, but the seeding is a bunch of malarkey. Beginning in 2024, a 12-team playoff will commence. The controversial format grants automatic bids to the six highest-ranked conference champions, gives first-round byes to the highest ranked four champions, and completes the field with six at-large selections. No at-large can earn a bye. First-round games, between seeds 5 through 12, are to be played on campus or at a location designated by the higher seed. In other words, should a team like Wake Forest get in and be a higher seed in the first round, they might be convinced to play in Carolina Panthers ’ stadium rather than in the Demon Deacons’ 31,500 capacity stadium. If a 12-team Playoff was held this season with the guidelines laid out above, the following is what it would look like under the current format: SEEDINGS: G...

ACC Coaches Against The Spread: Ranked From Best To Worst. Who Covers?

How good are all of the ACC head coaches against the spread? Going from best to worst, here’s who covers and who doesn’t. How do all of the ACC head coaches do against the spread, and on the road ATS, and going over on the point total? If you like to invest, here’s everything you need to know about 11 of the 14 current ACC head coaches and how they do against the lines. One important note, all of these stats only reflect how all the coaches have done on their current ACC teams . The new head coaches – Mike Elko at Duke, Tony Elliott at Virginia, and Brent Pry at Virginia Tech – aren’t a part of this because they’ve never done this before, and Miami’s Mario Cristobal gets credit for his time at Oregon before taking over the new gig.

Jumbo Package: National media have mostly written off the Tide

Set Number: X164200 TK1 Your latest Crimson Tide news and notes. Happy Friday, everyone. Bye weeks are never fun for the fans, but the team needed it this year more than any in recent memory. Hopefully they are getting healed up and ready to close strong. Exactly none of the major publications is picking Alabama to make the playoff at this point. USA TODAY: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU (Dec. 31) 247Sports: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU Sporting News: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU Bleacher Report: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU That seems like just the kind of anti-rat poison Saban desires. A pair of freshman linemen have made impacts this season. Pleasant surprise: Tyler Booker The freshman has managed to split time with two experienced guards in a platoon system rarely seen on the offensive line, where the need for chemistry and continuity typically precludes rotational substitutions. His pass-blocking grade of 86.7 from PFF is the best of any UA guard, and ranks 15th among 577 guards nationally. Top freshman:...
