“Use the Force, Luke”

TE - Here’s a great TE matchup:

  * D.J. Williams (Arkansas) vs. Tulsa - Tulsa isn’t exactly known for their defense.  Williams could post good stats in this one.

DEF - Here’s a good lookin’ Defensive matchup:

  * Alabama vs. Arkansas State - Simply put:  a late-season mismatch.

PK - Ah, Kickers!  I guess we’ll include them, too…

  * Colt David (LSU) vs. Tulane - LSU should move the ball at will on Tulane, but their spotty play could lead to a couple field goals in the red zone.

“These Aren’t The Droids You’re Looking For”

TE - Tough TE Matchup:

  * Bear Pascoe (Fresno State) vs. La Tech - He’s still banged up.

DEF - Probably not a good move to start this defense:

  * Texas Defense vs. Texas Tech - For obvious reasons.

PK - Ah, Kickers!  I guess we’ll include them, too…

  * Britt Barefoot (Southern Miss) vs. UAB - Just because we don’t like his name.
