Easy total to pick if Grier was playing. Could still be easy if their backup is somewhat capable. Weather appears better than forecasted a week ago. Could be enough linevalue to hit the over still. Maybe Cuse TT over 34.5. Or just Cuse -3
One thing to consider is Jake Spavital the Offensive Coordinator for the past
two years accepted the head coaching job at Texas State. So not only is
the qb out but the OC is gone. Jennings the receiver is a main cog in the WV
offense and he is out as well. He had 917 yards and 13 touchdowns this year.
A player of that caliber will be missed. Head coach Dana Holgorsen will call
the plays. This will be the first time he has handled that task in two years.
He is from the same tree as Mike Leach with the wide open offensive mind.
You can expect a few 4th down attempts in his own territory and probably a
fake punt and any unconventional happenings you did not consider. Bottom
line is that is a lot of missing pieces to try and predict a solid performance.
The way these games have played out so far Syracuse is probably the play.
Good luck whatever you choose.
