Here’s the Sun Belt lineup for Saturday. Teams in bold are the desired winners for the Owls. Either by a SOS booster with a victory, or taking a lump and helping out in the standings with a loss – aside from ULM. Florida International (0-2) vs Maryland (2-1) @ 12:00 p.m. – ESPNU Terps Make Final Prep For FIU An FIU win would help the Conference SOS overall, so going with the Panthers – *cringe*. Arkansas State (1-2) vs Troy (1-2) @ 3:30 p.m. – Sun Belt Network Sun Belt Network Game of the Week Features Red Wolves-Trojans Troy is always the desired candidate to lose in a conference game, and hope the Red Wolves prevail. North Texas (0-3) vs Florida Atlantic (1-1) @ 7:00 p.m. – None North Texas vs FAU Preview The Owls should be a lock against North Texas, but history says else wise. Middle Tennessee (1-2) vs Louisiana (1-1) @ 7:00 p.m. – None Blue Raiders limp into Louisiana to open Sun Belt play MTSU and UL is a toss up at this point, but given Dasher’s likely return, go Cajuns! Southeastern Louisiana (1-2) vs Louisiana Monroe (0-2) @ 7:00 p.m. Southeastern To Renew Gridiron Rivalry With UL-Monroe Why are the Warhawks playing this game? Bad idea to revert to a “rivalry” that means nothing to long term objectives. Western Kentucky (0-3) vs South Florida (1-1) @ 7:05 p.m. Hilltoppers Set To Battle USF Saturday Night In Tampa A Hilltopper upset would not only end a ridiculous 23 game losing streak, but also give ESPN commentators heartburn. Enjoy your Saturday…….
