01/28/2012 - Fort Collins, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The last of the unbeatens in the Mountain West Conference, the 13th-ranked San Diego State Aztecs hit the road this afternoon to challenge the Colorado State Rams at Moby Arena in Fort Collins.
Not only are the Aztecs all alone atop the MWC standings with a record of 4-0, they are also riding high on an 11-game win streak overall thanks to a 52-42 victory over Wyoming in Laramie earlier this week. The scoring total was the lowest of the season for the Aztecs and marked the second straight game in which they were held to under 60 points, only the third time this season it has happened. Nevertheless, having lost only to nationally-ranked teams in Baylor and Creighton, SDSU is certainly making a name for itself.
As for the Rams, a program that is an impressive 9-1 at home this season, they were pummeled by New Mexico in The Pit three nights ago in an 85-52 final. The loss was the second in a row for the team, the third time this season CSU has bowed in back-to-back outings. At 2-2 in conference play, the Rams enter the weekend tied with UNM, TCU and Wyoming for third place in the standings.
In a series that dates back more than 50 years, Colorado State owns a 35-31 advantage over the Aztecs entering this game. However, since 2006 the Rams have won just once, the other 14 decisions going to SDSU, including nine in a row.
It wasn't an exciting back-and-forth game against Wyoming earlier this week, but in the end a win is a win and that's what the Aztecs play for when they hit the floor. Jamaal Franklin and Chase Tapley both tallied 12 points for the visitors, the former also grabbing a team-best 11 rebounds, but at the same time Franklin also was tabbed for seven turnovers without benefit of a single assist. The team as a whole was guilty of 19 miscues which is unlike them. Through 20 games San Diego State is turning the ball over just under 13 times per game and generally the team is able to offset such issues with a stout defense that has held opponents to only 38.4 percent shooting from the floor and 60.7 ppg. Tapley (16.4 ppg) and Jamaal Franklin (15.2 ppg) tend to get most of the attention, but Xavier Thames (11.1 ppg) is one of the reasons why, having given out a team-best 85 assists to drive the offense.
The Rams could do little to stop the stampede brought on by New Mexico on Wednesday night, the Lobos not only shooting 52.2 percent from the floor themselves, but at the same time holding CSU to just 16 field goals and forcing 20 turnovers in the matchup. Nevertheless, the Rams still had four starters score in double figures as Will Bell, Dorian Green and Wes Eikmeier all tallied 11 points, followed by Pierce Hornung who dropped in 10 points, cleared seven rebounds and made four steals in the lopsided loss. Eikmeier continues to be the leading scorer for the program with his 15.6 ppg, while Green and Smith follow at 13.5 and 10.6 ppg, respectively. But perhaps the key figure on offense for the Rams might be Hornung who has started just four of the 13 games in which he has appeared, yet leads the group with 7.2 rpg and is shooting a ridiculous 71.9 percent from the field as well.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |
