The Chippewas. Solid MAC program that's sent a handful of guys, to include two offensive linemen last year, to the NFL. They had a good 2021 season capped off by a Sun Bowl win over Washington State. Their coach is Jim McElwain who won two SEC East titles at Florida before being pushed out amid controversy as the Gators were struggling in the middle of the 2017 season.
This year's edition retained a few key guys from the successful 2021 team but has been hit hard by graduation and transfers. It looks like the D in particular saw a few of its best players leave for greener pastures in the SEC and elsewhere. That may be why Oklahoma State put up 44 points on them...in the first half. In their two other games, they lost to a decent South Alabama team and blew out winless Bucknell.
The line opened at 26 and has actually been bet down a bit, which is interesting. Unless there's a letdown coming off the big Auburn win, I would have thought we could cover 26 with room to spare. But who knows. "On any given Saturday" and all that jazz. You can't afford to take any opponent lightly.
