Last season, Tim Tebow became the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy adding to his already decorated career. As a returning junior, Tebow has the chance to take the Heisman home a second time, which would be another unbelievable feat in itself.

The only thing standing in his way are the other candidates that will be vying for the attention of the voters as the NCAA football betting season progresses. Who is your money on in our football futures section? More importantly – who should it be on?

Sam Bradford (QB) – Oklahoma Sooners

Bradford heaved up an unearthly amount of yards and touchdowns last season as the Sooners cruised to a Big 12 Championship behind Bradford’s 3,121 passing yards. He also totaled 36 touchdowns and only 8 picks. Saturday’s game against Chattanooga showed Bradford at his typical best.

He posted a line of 17 completions on 22 passes, 183 modest yards and two touchdowns. Bradford’s numbers will catapult him in to Heisman contention as the season progresses, but he has to prove that he can survive the dreaded “sophomore slump”.

Chase Daniel (QB) – Missouri Tigers

In his final year at Missouri, Chase Daniel is gunning for glory. Daniel took the game in to his own hands against Illinois, and willed the Tigers to a win. He went 26-for-45 and totaled 323 yards with 3 touchdowns and one pick. Those numbers get noticed, and Chase is already on the map. With Jeremy Maclin behind him, Daniel is capable of exploding…unless Maclin, considered one of the best athletes in college right now, steals the show.

Knowshon Moreno (RB) – Georgia Bulldogs

He touched the ball eight times and scored three touchdowns with a yards per carry average of 7.4. Moreno is one of the clear cut favorites to win the Heisman, and performances such as these will have to keep rolling in for Knowshon to overcome the sophomore tag and win the illustrious award.

Tim Tebow (QB) – Florida Gators

The reigning Heisman winner only posted 137 yards on 9-for-14 completions, but the Gators were playing Hawaii so nobody in the NCAAF betting community expected much. The man-child will have to have another monster year to prove he is worthy of repeating. However, if his Herculean efforts don’t translate in to wins, then nothing will matter for the defending champ.

Pat White (QB) – West Virginia Mountaineers

Perhaps the most electrifying man in college football, Pat White now owns the show in West Virginia with Steve Slaton waiting for his chance in Houston. Noel Devine will steal headlines on occasion, but Pat White will hog the Heisman spotlight if he continues to have 5 touchdown performances like he did against Villanova.

Chris Wells (RB) – Ohio State

Wells posted 111 rushing yards and a touchdown on 13 attempts before going down with a foot injury. We’ll keep you posed on his health, but this injury looks to be more serious than anyone could imagine. For now, Wells is one of the top contenders, and his efforts up until his injury on Saturday prove his case.

An uncertain quarterback situation has made the UCLA Bruins 7.5-point home dogs to the Tennessee Volunteers on college football’s version of Monday Night Football.

This game is being broadcast at 8 pm on ESPN and a whopping 88% of the early bettors favor the Vols. Remember to make Sportsbook.com your home for college football this season. You’ll find the greatest array of game and future odds, all released the earliest in the industry.

UCLA’s starting quarterback for Monday night is junior college transfer Kevin Craft, and if you haven’t heard of him, don’t be ashamed. Craft was the team’s third option and is only starting because Patrick Cowan suffered a season-ending knee injury and Ben Olson is still out with a foot problem.

That’s not how Coach Rick Neuheisel drew it up on the blackboard when he was hired in December. Neuheisel played quarterback at UCLA and is a former head coach at Colorado and Washington. He also hired an elite offensive coordinator in Norm Chow, who held the same position for USC and the NFL’s Tennessee Titans.

Craft is trying to make the jump after playing last season for Mt. San Antonio College, and he has struggled more than his share in practice. It doesn’t help matters that the offensive line is suspect and playmakers at the skill positions are mostly unproven. The defense is ahead of the offense at this point, but they have their hands full with Tennessee.

The Vols, out of the SEC, are ranked 18th in the country after going 10-4 last year and 6-2 in the conference. This is the second year in a row they have opened up against a Pac-10 school after suffering a 45-31 defeat at Cal last season as seven-point underdogs.

You can be sure that Coach Phillip Fulmer is hammering away at his team all week about that game to motivate them against UCLA.

The big change to Tennessee this year comes on offense with a new offensive coordinator in Dave Clawson and redshirt junior quarterback Jonathan Crompton taking over for Erik Ainge. Crompton did have two starts against LSU and Arkansas in 2006 and he’s expected to excel in Clawson’s more high powered offense.

Crompton is also aided by the fact the Vols have two talented running backs in Arian Foster and Montario Hardesty. That means they’ll be plenty of play-action passes to a deep receiving corps. The Vols did lose linebacker Jerod Mayo and they have questions on run defense, but the UCLA offensive line doesn’t look good enough to capitalize.

One down note for Tennessee is that starting defensive back Brett Vinson and defensive tackle Donald Langley were suspended for this game due to academic issues.
One betting trend for this game is that UCLA is 20-7 ATS in their last 27 home games, including 5-1 last year. Will that number hold up against a very talented Tennessee team?

Howard Schnellenberger’s Florida Atlantic Owls (8-5 SU & ATS) would like to be known as a program that can compete with the national powers. They can take a major step toward that on Saturday, August 30, when they face off against the Texas Longhorns (10-3 SU, 7-6 ATS) in an inter-conference college football betting matchup that is set to kick off at 7 PM ET at Memorial Stadium in Austin.

BetUS NCAA Football Betting Odds: TEXAS -23

Here are some of the NCAA college football betting trends as they relate to this matchup:

* FAU has covered 10 of its last 15 games

* FAU has won four of its last five games SU

* FAU has played its last eight games OVER the total

* FAU has won and covered four of its last five road games

* FAU has lost 16 of its last 24 road games SU

* FAU has played its last five road games OVER the total

* TEX has won six of its last seven games SU

* TEX has played four of its last five games OVER the total

* TEX has covered four of its last six home games

* TEX has won 21 of its last 25 home games SU

* TEX has played four of its last six home games OVER the total

Texas, as usual, comes with a lot of talent. The Longhorns return four players from an offensive line that experienced some injury problems last year, and they have at least a couple of wide receivers back with extensive experience in starting games – including Quan Cosby, who caught 60 passes last season. the defense has to replace six starters, including three in the secondary. Thinning out the defensive backfield is a big concern, because of the fact that this team was only 109th in the country against the pass in 2007, giving up almost 278 yards a game.

The losses on offense are big. Limas Sweed was one of the nation’s best wide receivers, and a second-round draftee of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Running back Jamaal Charles, who had a furious finish en route to 1619 yards rushing, departed for the Kansas City Chiefs. Colt McCoy, once hailed as the top schoolboy quarterback in the country, raised some doubts with an 18-interception season (to go along with 22 TD passes).

The Longhorns have had a hard time proving that they can rush the passer. And that could be trouble against Florida Atlantic’s Rusty Smith, a junior who threw for 32 touchdowns with only nine pickoffs last season in being named the Sun Belt Player of the Year. How many people thought he might be thought of as a better pro prospect than McCoy?

Smith joins eight other starters on the offensive unit, including four down linemen, who contributed to this team giving up less sacks than all but a dozen Division I squads. Frantz Joseph, who recorded 64 solo tackles, has a chance to demonstrate that he is in the upper strata of the nation’s outside linebackers, though admittedly he is going to have to get some improvement from his defensive mates, who gave up over 33 points a game last year – including 46 per game to the five out-of-conference opponents on its regular season schedule.

FAU’s program, however, believes it can make a move, and that would be consistent with the history of Howard Schnellenberger, who has brought two previous schools – Miami and Louisville – from nowhere to a level of national prominence. His team posted a +18 turnover margin last year, beat Memphis by 17 points in the New Orleans Bowl, returns a lot of talent, and has an opportunity to catch a team with a mistake-prone quarterback by surprise. This is precisely the kind of situation Schnellenberger has craved, and excelled at, in the past. And it’s enough for us to grab the points here with the Owls, the 23-point underdog in the BetUS NCAA college football betting odds.

JAY’S PLAY: FLORIDA ATLANTIC +23 **

Unfortunately, Jim Hofher managed a staggering eight wins in five seasons, including three campaigns with just one victory. The laid-back approach that he brought to Western New York didn’t exactly bode well for an upstart program. Gill, a former assistant with the Green Bay Packers, took the reigns and immediately breathed life into the troops—specifically the offense. After a difficult 2006 season, the former Nebraska Cornhuskers pivot led the Bulls to a 5-3 record in the MAC, and to a share of the East division title.

College football pundits and BetUS staff have high hopes for the upstart Bulls this season—including a possible shocker in Week 1!
