Dr. Lou's Week 8 Predictions

[pielaro]

Finally got one right again after picking Rutgers last week over USF....two tough matchups this week and possible statement games for the two lower ranked teams....



Cal v. Minnesota

Cal is marching toward a possible BCS title appearance but the Gophers are a solid team with its most dangerous weapon @ QB

MATCHUP TO WATCH

Cal QB Beau Sweeney (1333 yds. passing.....9 TDs/4 INTs)


V.

Minnesota MLB Spencer Reeves (24 tackles....1 INT/1 sack)


PREDICTION

MarQueis Gray gets his numbers but Cal's running game and offensive weapons win out in the end..... Cal 24-17



South Carolina v. Washington

South Carolina comes off of tough road loss against Notre Dame....while Washington has bounced back from loss against Ole Miss

MATCHUP TO WATCH

Washington HB Chris Polk (91 rush yds 2 TDs/162 rec yds 2 TDs)


V.

South Carolina OLB Shaq Wilson (26 tackles....2 INTs/1 FF)


PREDICTION

For confict of interest I wont make the pick...but stopping/slowing the running game of the Huskies and creating a few big plays in passing game is the only way for SC to win

I wouldn't have picked me either, lol, but your record didn't improve any this week.
