By Drew Champlin
Published: August 29, 2008
Thursday I had Troy 30, MTSU 21. Almost was right.
SATURDAY (All Times CST)WKU at Indiana (Big Ten Network) - 11:00 a.m. WKU comes close, but falls. Indiana 34-28
Arkansas State at Texas A&M - 6:00 p.m. - Arkansas State covers the spread, but is worn out at the end. Texas A&M 24, ASU 17
Louisiana-Lafayette at Southern Mississippi - 6:00 p.m. - I’d really like to pick ULL, but for some reason I can’t. Southern Miss 31, ULL 27
Louisiana-Monroe at Auburn (CSS/PPV) - 6:00 p.m. - Should be high-scoring, but I can’t see ULL sweeping through the SEC Alabama teams. Auburn 38-21
Florida Atlantic at Texas (FSN PPV) - 6:00 p.m. - FAU can score, but they’ll have a hard time stopping Texas. Longhorns 44-24
Florida International at Kansas - 6:00 p.m. - Now, we get to the ugly. Kansas 56-7
North Texas at Kansas State - 6:05 p.m. - People keep talking about how UNT will surprise. I’m not buying it. Kansas State 48-17
Would love to hear your picks.

In as much as Texas struggled against Arkansas St. in a season opener in the recent past, I would have thought FAU might have a change to hang in there. That was before Schnellenberger started yapping about how Texas wasn’t physical enough. The term “body bag game” comes to mind.
I guess WKU has the best shot at an upset.
