AJ Hoffman: “These two teams played each other last year, 82 rushing attempts, 3.5 yards per carry, 15 punts, and a 20-17 final. The only thing that has changed for either team is that UTEP’s best wide receiver Jacob Cowing transferred and now plays for the University of Arizona! These are two coaches that want to run the ball and prioritize defense, I have no idea where this 55 came from... I think this is a slow grimy game and elevation will play a major part.”
RJ Bell: “So what you’re telling me is, elevation is saying that the teams will get fatigued and the pace will be a factor? We will see...”
Today on Straight Outta Vegas with RJ Bell, AJ Hoffman gives his best bet for College Football opening weekend this Saturday. AJ is extremely confident in the under 55 points in the North Texas at UTEP game Saturday night at 9 PM EST. One of the biggest factors from AJ’s research is that the elevation in El Paso is about 3,000 feet higher than Dallas where the game was played last year.
