[dfads params=’groups=220&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Central Arkansas Bears
Central Arkansas will be looking to build upon a 10-2 season under their new head coach Nathan Brown.
The Bears will have to fill the role of quarterback with an inexperienced Breylin Smith, so a nice rushing attack could help settle him in.
They will sport a rushing attack headed by Carlos Blackman and Pierre Crossley who combined for 1,550 yards and 13 TD.

The Bears defense is going to highlight this squad, more specifically their pass rush is going to be solid who will be led by Eric Jackson and Chris Terrell who posted double-digit sacks a year ago.
Tulsa Golden Hurricane
Tulsa will be looking to snag a victory for the home crowd on opening day as they try to fade the memories of their miserable 2-10 season a year ago.
Luke Skipper will man the helm for Tulsa this season posting a bleak 3:4 TD to INT ratio last season while completing nearly 56% of his passes for 1,141 yards.
They will be without their stud RB D’Angelo Brewer where he toted the rock 288 times for 1,500 yards and nine touchdowns last year, but they’ll have Shamari Brooks filling role where he averaged 5.8 YPC and posted a solid 10 touchdowns a season ago.
Tulsa will also be returning their top two receivers in Keenen Johnson and Justin Hobbs as they combined for 1,369 yards and four touchdowns.
On the defensive side they will be returning their top four tacklers in McKinley Whitfield, Cooper Edmiston, and Diamon Cannon.
Both Whitfield and Edmiston eclipsed 100 total tackles last year.

4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: UNDER Total
Tulsa may have a hard time stopping the run after they gave up 265 yards on the ground and Arkansas State has the rushing attack to counter that.
[dfads params=’groups=219&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
The Bears will have to break in a new quarterback so they are going to want to run the ball and control the clock to tame a potential potent Tulsa offense.
The total may be set a little high in this outing considering its Tulsa, but I expect Central Arkansas to control the tempo of this outing and make it more of their style of play making this total stay under the threshold.
