I like the schedule too, but I am worried about Buffalo. That could be a good team, and a loss would put a damper on the season like nothing else could. We will need a good game from Drake. He needs to be ready to play... and play well. But I agree with your stance on all this. Could be an ideal situation for him.

Doesn't matter if it's a win like Georgia Sourthern or SDSU in 2019 ... just win baby :)

I completely disagree. I dont think Drake needs to be ready to play or to play well.

It seems like if there is ever a left handed QB anymore, he's of Polynesian descent. I know there are drastic differences in left handedness throughout the world - Mexico and Korea are like 2% and the US and most of Western Europe is like 12%.

Interesting. I didn't realize any place had even more than 10%

Correct. Also has another brother at BYU named Tiger Bachmeier, a WR.

So he has a sister named Ella.....fairly normal names for the two of them, and then the parents apparently just started naming the kids after animals. He has 3 brothers Buck, Bear, and Tiger..... lol.

Not really, Cal is a 3 point dog in their opener @ Oregon State.

Not trying to be sassy but citing a home team as 3 point favorites as a reason for them not being a cupcake is kinda funny.

ORST is ranked 82 in FPI and if they didn’t play WAZZU twice they probably wouldn’t make a bowl. Cal and ORST both aren’t very good.

ASU fans not fans of those four that didn't go to the Big 12? :)

Sure, but you're changing the argument. Most people wouldn't describe Oregon State as a cupcake opponent.

I’m not. I said they’re a cupcake and you said they can’t be because they’re 3 point favorites at home.

Books give the 3 points for home advantage when they think it’s a toss up game. The fact the line is set there against a decimated Cal team starting a true freshman speaks volumes. You bringing up the line only supports my argument.

They are likely one of the 4 worst P4 teams this year. Although there is no objective definition for “cupcake” but that has to be close.
