| COLLEGE FOOTBALL REVENGE SELECTIONS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24 7:00 pm ***BEST BET CALIFORNIA (-12.5) vs. Colorado 2017 — L, 28-44 PAST Cal was coming off a double-overtime home loss to Arizona, traveling to Boulder, CO to play at high altitude. They trailed 27-7 at the half, so the game was basically over then. Colorado QB Steven Montez had been benched by the coaching staff one week earlier, and returned highly motivated, throwing for 347 yards and 3 TDs. Another emotional boost for Colorado on that day was the retirement of the recently deceased Rashaan Salaam’s jersey, Salaam being the school’s only Heisman Trophy winner. RB Philip Lindsay supported it all with 161 rushing yards. PRESENT Lindsay is doing very well… for the Denver Broncos. Colorado has a sub-par rushing offense gaining only 3.8 yards per carry overall, and only 119 yards per game in the Pac 12. Montez is questionable after suffering a sprained right ankle in the team’s sixth straight loss, home vs. Utah, after which head coach Mike McIntyre was fired. McIntryre was not invited to stick around so the kids could try to win one for him on his way out. In other words, Colorado’s situation couldn’t be much worse. Cal got an unscheduled bye week when the Stanford game was canceled last weekend, should be fresh and fit vs. the downtrodden visior. 3:30 pm ***BEST BET ALABAMA (-24.5) vs. Auburn 2017 — L, 14-26 PAST At Auburn, the previously unbeaten Crimson Tide, quarterbacked by Jalen Hurts, made a bunch of uncharacteristic errors. Auburn’s offense held the ball for 36 minutes. In its 24 minutes with the ball, Alabama lost a fumble, got a field goal blocked, and botched two snaps on a fourth-quarter drive. Auburn RB Kerryon Johnson rushed 30 times for 104 yards and threw a jump-pass TD. PRESENT Alabama, with Tua Tagovailoa quarterbacking for a better passing game, has revenge for their only 2017 loss. The average passing yardage difference for Alabama between then and now is drastic: 193 passing yards per game last season, 328 passing yards per game this season. Meanwhile, the Auburn offense has 7 fewer TD passes and 13 fewer rushing TDs than it had in 2017. —END— |
