A pair of unbeaten teams with strong defenses clash in this one. They are also two of the best rushing teams in the country, which chews up yards and the clock. Georgia Southern is tops in rushing with 363 yards per game. They just topped Monroe with 345 yards rushing, 23-21, sailing UNDER the total by two touchdowns. All three of their games have gone UNDER with a strong defense, #21 in the nation in yards allowed. The defense has allowed 30 points in three contests and Georgia Southern is on an 8-2 run UNDER the total going back to last season. They face a Western Michigan squad that is #29 in the nation with 204.6 yards rushing per contest. They come off a trip to Illinois of the Big 10, winning 34-10 with 287 yards rushing, 5.3 yards per carry, while allowing three yards rushing on 15 carries (0.2 ypc). Sophomore running back Jamauri Bogan led Western Michigan with 189 yards on 24 carries, including a pair of long touchdowns. The Broncos have already beaten a pair of Big 10 teams (winning at Northwestern, 22-21). Look for a fierce defensive duel between two unbeatens and for the offenses to keep it on the ground. Play this one to finish UNDER the total.
