6 weeks until those first Thursday night games. Fall camps will be starting in about two weeks. Some conferences have had their media days, others are coming up straightaway. Can't you just feel the excitement and anticipation in the air?
#42: Florida and Boise State will be the only two teams in the country to sport a top 10 scoring offense and top 10 scoring defense. Last year, Boise State finished with the 3rd best scoring D in the country giving up just 12 points/game. The offense lagged a little behind, finishing at 12th in scoring O, scoring nearly 38. Not too shabby with a freshman starting at quarterback. Florida finished 4th in O and D, sporting an average margin of victory of over 30 points/game by scoring nearly 44 points/game while only giving up 13.
Penn State might also accomplish this feat, but I don't promote teams whose out of conference schedules consist of 0 bowl teams from last year, whose win totals add to 13, with a I-AA (FCS) team in there as well, oh, and all 4 of those games are at home for a total of 8 home games on the season. The Big 10 is obviously tougher than the WAC, but give me a break, it ain't the Big 12 South or SEC.
The trend continues for Florida. Boise State improves on offense. I can't wait to see them in action, 6 weeks from today, hosting Oregon on the blue turf, at 10:15 ET (8:15 MT) on ESPN.
