USA Today College Football Countdown FKA Pre-Snap Read Countdown FKA The Quad Countdo

[WWDog]

Amazing but some of the worst basketball I have EVER seen!

[Dirtydawg]

As I suspected. If you listen to the commentators at the start of the video, one gives the 3 keys for Troy to be able to set another record. The 3rd key was to get "cooperation from Devry". He "suspected they would cooperate because they'd had such a wonderful time last year scoring over 100 points."

[Dawg06]

I'm gonna answer this one and go with Troy. Troy beat Devry 258 to 141 on Jan 12, 1992.

No. 97: Troy



Who is No. 96? This program has won four games against FBS competition since Oct. 11, 2009.

Just a guess here, but I' guessing LA Tech comes in around #60 this year.

If my memory serves, I believe this guy had LA Tech ranked #38 or so last year during the preseason. Considering LA Tech finished #36 in the final USA Today coaches poll, I'd say he was pretty darn accurate.

While there are still a lot of question marks about us, I think we will come in around 45.

Another Tech opponent for 2013.

Kansas.

I hope you're right.....but that's pretty aggressive for a "mid major" (I don't know what else to call us) with a brand new coaching staff.

[KSDAWG]

Of we land 45 this year with our schedule, we lose only one game and finish in the top 25 based on record alone. Only 2 maybe 3 games on our schedule that worry me this year.

Kansas.

Correct!

GAME(S) TO WATCH

— Rice: It's either Rice, a reining bowl team; Louisiana Tech, a team fresh off nine wins but under a new staff; or Iowa State, again the Jayhawks' best chance for a Big 12 win.

Who is No. 95? One of this university's former graduates was the fifth of eight theorists to win the Nobel Prize for studies on decision making.

[odysseus]

Middle Tennessee State?

[Dawg06]

No. 95: California

Lots of talk about the Bulldogs. Very interesting read.



Who is No. 94? This university is a not a mainstream Division I school, according to the president of the NCAA.

[BSmith]

Another one of our opponents. Rice.

[DellDawg]

This is a no brainer. Has to be Rice.

[Lotsudo]

I love this line..."Louisiana Tech went 5-7 in 2010, 8-5 in 2011 and 9-3 a year ago, missing out on a postseason berth due to an extreme case of mismanagement by the university administration."

Good article. Sounds like Dykes and company will be in for a long and painful 2013, but he has a 3-year plan to put CAL on top by 2015. I wish him luck.

One piece of LA Tech info I picked up from this article: On 1,054 plays last year, Tech passed the ball 533 times. That's a pass/run ratio of 50.5% passes to runs. That's great offensive balance.
