2015 College Football Futures Plays
Truly don’t play a lot of futures…
(Just poor R.O.I., from outset - especially waiting 4½ months on ANY ticket is questionable on it’s own)
That said, futures provide decent preseason entertainment
1. TEXAS LONGHORNS
Win Totals futures (naturally) involve schedule analysis
Texas beginning the season in South Bend is challenging enough
UT has a sturdy schedule, including 3 likely road losses (at ND) and at TCU & at Baylor
Toss-up Red-River matchup & home game vs trendy PAC-12 riser, Cal
National 2015 Big 12 attention focused on AP #2 TCU & AP #4 Baylor
Charlie Strong’s team are in the almost unthinkable role as an “overlooked Texas” team
After Strong’s ‘tough-love’ clearing out of negative individuals, he clearly has ‘his guys’ in Austin,
Offense
Texas does have a brewing QB controversy
w/ TEX Jr 6-04 | 249 Swoops being pushed by rFr #5 Nat’l 2013 QB Recruit TEX 6-02 | 200 Heard
Nevertheless, the highly criticized 2014 UT Offensive Line returns all five starters
Texas OL ranks #3 in BIG 12, behind only Baylor & TCU (Steele)
Texas running game should be very good Plan-A, w/healthy TEX Sr RB Jonathan Gray in the UT backfield,
(Gray claims, his ‘burst is back’)
Defense
Texas has superb impact players to replace a few key losses
TEX Sr 6-0 | 302 Desmond Jackson returns after being injured all of 2014
Texas could be the most underrated Defense in the Big 12 (w/OU)
UT Defense is well suited to matchup w/most spread/pass-heavy Big 12 opponents
Texas’ brings 9th best D-Line & 6th Best DB’s in the Nation
Moreover, Texas LB Corps gains a highly anticipated influx of youthful talent,
Including #1 nationally ranked LB recruit, TEX 6-03 | 220 Fr Malik Jefferson
Horns should be favorites in all 6 Home Games
Of course, Texas could lose one (or 2) they should win, and vise-versa
Yet, Texas looks to be in a 2015 redemption mode

__________
2. 2015 PAC-12 SOUTH CONFERENCE
Quickly, also like Arizona State’s darkhorse shot in a stacked PAC-12 South
* Low mistake team (2x Lowest Penalty Tm and +? T-Over Margin)
* Sr QB Bercovici (especially w/so many new Cf Starting QB’s)
* Underrated Defense (9 of 11 D-starters back, Best '14 3rd D Zone D,)
* Favorable schedule (SC at Hm, Ore at Hm/Halloween Wkend & just 4 true rd gms

3. 2015 HEISMAN TROPHY
Hear me out, here.
Forget for a minute that Oregon’s Marcus Mariota won the 2014 Heisman in a landslide,
Scott Frost’s Oregon’s 2015 Offense will definitely have a far different look
ORE 5-11 | 230 So RB Royce Freeman had an ‘erratic’ 2014 season
He still rolled up 1365 Yards and scored the most TD’s in the PAC-12
As an 18 year old Freshman
Freeman at 19, is reportedly shredding in camp; showed up looking like an NFL-ready animal
Oregon lost the 2014 Heisman winner, & Freeman’s platoon RB, Tyner for season (shoulder)
This play is just a calculated, odds-driven
Based on consistent reports about Freeman from Eugene .. and, the fact that
Freeman will have every conceivable chance to roll up unthinkable numbers in 2015
¼ UNIT | 2015 HEISMAN TROPHY
ORE RB ROYCE FREEMAN +5000 (sportsbook.ag)
__________
Admittedly do not know a whole lot about Doughty
Yet, the ink & attention he’s getting is building pretty quickly
The mere fact that Gameday talks a lot about his video game numbers….
The award has been won - more than once - by a non-major Conference player
(Ty Detmer, Andre Ware)
With all these factors in his favor, these Doughty odds are just too good to pass up, here

WKY QB BRANDON DOUGHTY +25000 (sportsbook.ag)
All the best, guys
