This should be a straight-up trouncing, as the mid-major Tech bring junior RB Kenneth Dixon – and not much else – to Oklahoma to tangle with the upper-echelon Sooners. Even without stud WR Dorial Green-Beckham, the Sooners are a championship contender and should completely dismantle the visiting Conference USA squad.

For the visiting Bulldogs, former Texas and Mississippi State defensive co-ordinator Manny Diaz is on board, which is exciting for a struggling program like this.
Diaz has a few half-decent players to work with, especially in the secondary with CBs Le’Vander Liggins and Adairius Barnes and safety Xavier Woods. However, with those three names and the running of Dixon, that’s where the optimism ends for Louisiana Tech.

Tech isn’t a great football team and should be in the bottom quarter of the FBS teams in America.
The Bulldogs are coming off a 4-8 season under head coach Skip Holtz and they’ll be lucky to bump up close to .500 ball this season, in the miserable Conference USA.
The Sooners, on the other hand, are still pumped about QB Trevor Knight’s inspired performance in the Sugar Bowl against national heavy Alabama.
[soliloquy id=”82219″]
They anticipate Knight can guide them to the Promised Land in 2014; it all starts with a pumping of the Week 1 visitors.
Even without Green-Beckham, Sterling Shepard is a stud WR and OU also features a loaded defense. Defensive end Charles Tapper and a stacked LB unit headlines and defense that should make most opponents fearful this year.
On top of Knight under center, Oklahoma has battering-ram QB (not unlike Tim Tebow’s role at Florida) Blake Bell, who has since made the position switch to tight end. Bell is a 6″6, 260 lb athlete that can contribute in multiple ways for the Sooners’ attack. He should be a safety valve for Knight this season.
The entire offense is helped by a veteran offensive line; every starter on the unit is an upperclassman (at least a junior). Offensive tackles Tyrus Thompson and Daryl Williams head the five-man front.
Yet, Oklahoma is not without controversy: On top of Green-Beckham’s absence (he was dismissed from Missouri for misbehaviour, and the NCAA denied his application for immediate eligibility), star LB Frank Shannon might miss the season after being found guilty by a school panel of sexual misconduct.
Still, the depth is there to potentially make a run this year in Norman; it’s certainly unlikely (if not damn near impossible) that Week 1 opponent Louisiana Tech will get in the Sooners’ way.
It should be a whipping in Sooner Nation on Saturday night.
Oklahoma 48, Louisiana Tech 7

NCAA football Week 1 action sees the #16 Clemson Tigers take on the #12 Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday, August 30 at Sanford Stadium in Athens, GA. Cappers Picks provides free NCAA football handicapping tips all season long.
It remains to be seen whether Clemson can feature the dominant offense it had last year without departed QB Tajh Boyd. For Georgia’s part, QB Hutson Mason played squire to Aaron Murray for a long time and it looks like he’s ready for his turn in the SEC spotlight.
This battle of SoCal teams gives us the narrative of two clubs on different trajectories.
The Dodgers are using their massive pocketbook to cruise to a 4.5 game lead in the NL West division, while the Friars find themselves in third in the West only because of the utter incompetence of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies.
For this year’s Bearcats club, Notre Dame transfer Gunner Kiel looks to add to what is already an embarrassment of riches at the quarterback position.
The UCF Knights were outstanding last year under the stewardship of Blake Bortles, who was simply the first QB selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in this year’s NFL Draft.
In a relatively newly-formed conference that’s seen plenty of new faces and upheaval, the ECU Pirates are a model of stability – one that’s carried over from the mostly dismantled Conference USA.
After winning a Super Bowl just two years ago, QB Joe Flacco and his Ravens regressed in 2013. An 8-8 season and finishing third in the AFC North division was not palatable to general manager Ozzie Newsome and the Maryland faithful.
Everything went wrong last season for the Atlanta Falcons, who were mired in a 4-12 disaster thanks in large part to injuries and a corresponding lack of depth.
Being such a talented team, boy are the Arizona Cardinals cursed that they play in the NFC West division. Going to war against the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, perennial NFC contender San Francisco 49ers and the rapidly-congealing St. Louis Rams can’t be much fun.
Preseason NFL football is back and bettors, fans and fantasy nerds alike are champing at the bit. Despite all the noise made about the league’s image, the hypocrisy of NFL justice, etc., at the end of the day everyone still loves the NFL.
The July 31st non-waiver Trade Deadline shook up both of these “old-money” AL East division teams considerably. Several faces departed and new faces come in to the Bronx and Beantown.
Thursday night’s game in the nation’s capital represents a match-up of the haves and have-nots of the National League East division.
The Michael Sam narrative and the sociological strides that are occurring in all zones of society – including high-level competitive sports – dominated the press this past offseason when it came to the Missouri Tigers.
