Part 1b features the late afternoon games
Boca Raton Bowl – SMU -7.0 vs Florida Atlantic – Florida Atlantic just got rocked by suspensions. On Friday, slot receivers DeAngelo Antoine and Tavaris Harrison, were bounced for academic issues. Starting MILB Keke Leroy is left home for the same reason. As a result, the line skyrocketed from as little as -3 to -7 for SMU. Leroy led the team in tackles (101), sacks (7.5) and forced fumbles (four) while posting three interceptions and a FAU record 15.5 tackles for loss in 2019.And, oh yeah, HC Lane Kiffen has moved on to Ole Miss.
Not exactly the guys you want missing when facing SMU. QB Shane Buechele has been fantastic with 3,626 passing yards, 33 passing TDs and only 2 picks. The Mustang attack ranks in the top ten in overall and scoring offense. But the defense gives the points right back as it is 121st overall.
There’s just too many missing parts for the Owls. Even though they will be playing on their home field, they are about to get run over.
I’ll put a Mega Bet on the Stangs.

Camellia Bowl – Arkansas State PK vs Florida International – Three weeks ago, Florida International pulled off perhaps their biggest upset in school history, taking down Miami (FL) 30-24, on homecoming, to secure bowl eligibility.
FIU’s offense is inconsistent, but it’s 6-1 this year when it runs for 130 yards or more. The ASU defense has allowed that many or more in every game but two.
The FIU pass defenses is consistent, however. They have let only three QBs connect on 60% of their passes and has, picked off 11 passes.
Arkansas State QB Layne Hatcher will challenge that pass defense. He’s completed 68.3 percent of his passes for 2,553 yards, 23 touchdowns but has nine picks. He averages 9.9 yards per pass attempt, which leads the Fun Belt and ranks sixth nationally.
He has the benefit of passing to one of the best receiving corps in the country. All-American wideout Omar Bayless finished the regular season No. 2 in Div 1A in both receiving yards per game (122.8) and touchdowns (16).
It’s Arkansas State, they suck in bowls going 0-9. I’ll put a quatloo on Butch Davis and FIU.
Still more to come
