CFB Football Previews – Miami (FL) Hurricanes vs Maryland Terrapins
Pandemonium! Personally, I already thought Miami versus Maryland would be a deceptively close game. Now, with the NCAA scandal rocking Miami and eight players suspended, bettors really have to give Maryland a hard look at home.
It is a brand new season for college football, which more than likely means another year of Clemson’s talented but inconsistent, head-scratching ways.
This Saturday afternoon game presents an interesting match-up. This is not a cushy tune-up contest like several of the SEC and Big Ten often play in Week One.
It is true that Auburn is recovering from the incident of its poisoned sentimental trees, but those in the Tuscaloosa region are trying to bounce back from a much more real catastrophe.
OK, Florida State, time to justify that lofty perch in the NCAA preseason coaches’ poll. Even with Christian Ponder gone, it seems everyone expects E.J. Manuel to lead this team to major BCS contention. A blowout win over UL-Monroe would be the first step toward living up to the hype.
If you’re looking for an exciting early game to watch on Saturday, don’t sleep on Northwestern/Boston College, which features two underrated teams.
Clemson plays in the tough SEC and has a good defense and they will be contending with a solid Troy team that has 5 straight seasons with 8 wins.
This is an interesting game not only because each has bowl aspirations and plays in the Lone Star State, but Texas A&M has stated they plan to leave the Big 12 for the SEC, if they accept them, and SMU has already campaigned publicly that they would like to join the Big 12 if the Aggies depart.
The top ranked Sooners are stacked on both sides of the ball and while they are big favorites against a legit Tulsa team that won 10 games last season, was victorious in the Hawaii Bowl, and finished the season ranked in the top 25 for the first time since 1991.
Texas is coming off a disastrous season where they went 5-7 and did not play in a bowl game for the first time since…forever and face a Rice team that was 4-8, but has hope returning most of their starters and will use a new spread offense that may give the Longhorns’ defense nightmares.
In the season opener for both teams Baylor is a dark horse in the Big 12 conference behind their Heisman candidate QB while TCU has National Title hopes, but has to get by Baylor on the road in this game as well as deal with Boise State later in the season.
Michigan fans will be glad to see Brady Hoke standing on the sidelines instead of Rich Rodriguez. Rodriguez was never really loved at Michigan, and Hoke is seen as a true Michigan man.
College football’s opening weekend marquee matchup will kick off on Saturday night in front the legions of fans that are expected to pack Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Texas, as the No. 3 Oregon Ducks square off against No. 4 Louisiana State.
The No.7 Boise State Bulldogs kick-off their inaugural season in the Mountain West with a non-conference showdown with the SEC’s No.22 ranked Georgia Bulldogs this Saturday night at the Georgia Dome.
The Florida Atlantic Owls, out of the Sun Belt Conference travel to Gainesville for an in-state matchup with the SEC’s Florida Gators this Saturday night in the season opener for both teams. Kick-off is slated for 7 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on ESPNU.
