yards to carry Carson Beck returns under Center for a senior season he hit 72% of his passes 9.5 yards from pass attemp he also rushed for four touchdowns you know that front seven is very strong here for for the Bulldogs quarterback and running back play gives an edge here to Georgia as well early in the season they're fresh at plenty of time smart as at plenty of time get ready for this opponent play Georgia minus 13 and a half Virginia Tech vs Vanderbilt Virginia Tech and vandol college football pick for Saturday Virginia Tech finished seven and six last year for head coach Brent fry who was in his third season an experienced team that returns 11 on offense 10 to the defense the hes put up 29 points per game last year but struggled to convert third Downs they had a good running attack but suffered from inacurate quarterback play Still the offensive performance was huge improvement over the previous season the defense held opponents at 24 points per game with their strength in defending the pass the pass rush returned last year with massive Improvement Kon drones is in his senior season he completed 58% of his throws last year rush for 88 yards five touchdowns VY 2 and 10 in 2023

rushed for 925 yards averaging 5.3 yards to carry rald head coach Caray is running the defense as he turns over uh offensive side of the football to his coordinator but V's ability to make plays with the legs is a massive plus here this is a healthy comter team that hasn't been beaten up by the SEC schedule yet the hokes are on the uptick but not ready to lay almost two touchdowns here on the road play vanille plus 13 and a half UConn vs Maryland Yukon and Maryland college football pick Saturday Yukon comes off a three and9 season in 20123 head coach Jim Morris in his third season with the program that returns five on offense eight to the defense offens performance was poor in 2023 as a huskins produc 18 points uh per game offensively and uh were first on third down an accurate quarterback play coupled with a mediocre rushing attack defensively they held opponents at 32 points per game was struggles defending in the past senior quarterback Joseph fagnano will start transfer from Maine who put up respectable numbers in his final two seasons there Mike Loxley is back for a six season as head coach here for Maryland going eight and five last year they return only forign offense eight to the defense the team struggled to generate a ground game and produced 29 points per game 51st defensively they held opponents at 24 points per game doing a great job stopping the run and holding opposing quarterbacks at 57% completion rate corack Tua tagaloa must be replaced NCA transfer MJ Morris expected to start he played in four games with the wack last season completing just 56% of his passes with only 6.4 yards for pass St with no running ability Yukon was a ball team member in 2022 their top rushers are back they were able to attract receivers from the portal on defense are experienced in the secondary no quarterback and only one starter back to the offensive line of concern for Maryland there are questions about their running game if can improve with only one starter back on that line we'll take Yukon plus 20 and a half Penn State and West Virginia college football pick for Saturday Penn Penn State vs West Virginia State finished at 10 and3 last season in James Franklin's 10th season the team returned six starters on offense seven to the defense the NIT lions were a stout defensive team sitting third in scoring defense by allowing 14 points per game

Garrick green returns for a senior season a running style quarterback that completed only 53% of his throws despite the defensive coordinator change remember Tom Ellen come over from Indiana for Matt Diaz who goes into head coaching for Duke uh there's enough Talent here I think it's a downgrade but but still I just think the talent level here is too strong for Penn State this is a tough place to play though for opposing offenses expect a lot of running and ball possession for the mountains here to try and keep their defense off the field play pen State and West Virginia under 51 and a half Ohio vs Syracuse Ohio and Syracuse college football pick for Saturday I finish at 10 and three last year for head coach Tim Alber who enters his third season the team returns only two starters on

football 3.8 yards a carry they must replaced quarterback Curtis roru transferred to Indiana Barker Naro will start a quarterback in a senior season he started their bowl game last year but has seen very little action in his college career Syracuse six and seven last year Fran Brown enters his first season his head coach with the program that returns nine to the offense eight to the defense they fell off massively on offense in 2023 by averaging 20 points a game and struggles in both the run and pass on defense the orange gave up 27 points game with poor pass defense and third down conversions K mcord will start a quarterback as he transfers in from oio state that was a big capture though he completed 66% of his passes last year 9.1 yards per rush and not per pass attempt and not a threat to run a massive uh rebound for the Bobcats uh a rebuild I should say for the Bobcats as they miss work ccus did a decent job of stopping the Run offense will be a major issue here for Ohio so we'll look at Ohio and Syracuse to go under 47 and a half Mio and Northwestern College football pick this one here on Saturday Mii Ohio Miami (OH) vs Northwestern won 11 and3 last year for
