The Indians can play with the Big Boys...let alone Memphis!

Greggy G’s College Football Record: 8-5 ATS

MEMPHIS TIGERS @ ARKANSAS ST. INDIANS (-4.5)
Don’t be fooled by the Indians 1-2 record as they opened the season against Texas, nearly pulled the upset (21-13), and lost to Tennessee despite scoring 27 points. The most amazing part for this Sun Belt squad has been So. RB Reggie Arnold who hit Vols for 130 yards and is averaging almost 8 yards per carry. Add in duel-threat QB Corey Leonard (721 passing, 92 rushing, 6 total TDs), a veteran defense that doesn’t have to line-up against the big-boys, a home-field advantage that saw them blow-out SMU by 17 two weeks ago, and I expect to see a confident group playing under the lights tonight. As for Memphis, after struggling to a 2-10 record last season, it was imperative they started hot before the change in coach rumors turned into a change in coach search. After narrowly losing to Mississippi to open the season and looking extremely average against Jacksonville State in victory, the wheels completely came-off last week in the Tigers 56-20 road loss to Central Florida. Sr. QB Martin Hankins was pulled early after completing only 10-23 for 81 yards and should be looking over is shoulder tonight, while the defense has to be a lil less than confident after giving-up over 600 yards (313 on the ground) to solid but not Texas or Tennessee power. Weirder things have happened, but I see this as a double digit victory for the Indians and at least 150 yards for Mr. Arnold.

Final Score: Arkansas St. 38 Memphis 24
