oranges all over

Las Vegas - Sure Maryland has a Tagovailoa, Taulia, Tua's younger brother, but WHO is he gonna throw to? Three of his best WRs, Rakim Jarrett, Jacob Copeland and Dontay Demus all opted OUT. The Terps also had 10 other players enter the transfer portal, including tight end CJ Dippre. And if you're looking at Maryland's last game, a 37-0 win over Rutgers, note that the Scarlet Knights (4-8) lost their last five games, and were outscored 202-48. So, beating Rutgers was a big SO WHAT! The Wolfpack had some issues at QB, with Devin Leary entering the portal, and an injury to backup MJ Morris. But Ben Finley took over in the finale against North Carolina, and guided the Pack to a 30-27 win, hitting 27 of 40 for 271 yards and 2 TDs. Wolves over Turtles in the Mayo Bowl, but just light mayo.

In the Sun Bowl matchup between UCLA and Pittsburgh, if QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson plays, then we would tickle the Bruins. If DTR is a no show, then we close the wallet.

Finally, in orange vs. orange in the Orange Bowl, we're gonna try Clemson over Tennessee. LOVED the Vols when Hendon Hooker was at QB, but Double H is gone, and Joe Milton III will take the snaps. The Tigers starting QB, DJ Uiagalelei, is also gone, and Cade Klubnik will be under center. Klubnik is an upgrade. Like Cade over Joe, but keeping it light.
