Season 2024 - WEEK 14
Homecoming Write-ups
Kentucky - Army
Prediction: Army
From one Independent team to another; Kentucky is against Army for their homecoming game after beating Navy 33-28. Army is going behind the front lines after QB Darrell Slack made scorched earth against Notre Dame’s secondary beating them 60-45.
If Army can perform the same level and repeat what they did to beat Notre Dame; Army can certainly beat Kentucky even deep behind enemy lines.
Oklahoma - Washington State
Prediction: Washington State
Coming home from a demoralizing loss against division rival Texas, Oklahoma is looking for a win at home for their homecoming game against Washington State. After a loss against Oklahoma State, Washington State has been on fire putting points above 40 in their 3 game win streak against Iowa, and division rivals Oregon and Stanford.
Rexford is in a hot streak with passing touchdowns might be enough to beat Oklahoma. Oklahoma has a habit of playing at home against teams like two heavyweight boxers throwing shots seeing who can out punch the other which would be a game to watch assuming that Washington State can keep up with Oklahoma’s offense.
Kansas - Stanford
Prediction: Stanford
With both teams being ineligible to a bowl game, Kansas is still looking forward to their homecoming game against Stanford. After a win against their opponent’s division rival Oregon, Kansas has gone into a rabbit hole with losing 7 straight games. Stanford on the other hand, has only won 1 game the entire season and it is against Arizona by only scoring field goals.
Stanford’s QB in Uncle Rico and WR James Philips is underrated but If Rico sees that Philips is wide open in the Kansas secondary, expect to see a lot of Philips turn and burn the secondary; the question however is can Uncle Rico lead the offense into their 2nd win.
Syracuse - LSU
Prediction: LSU
The once playoff monster of the old era, Syracuse is out of bowl eligibility in terms of winning a division title, however they are still in contention for the last 2 bowl spots and their survival game is their homecoming game against LSU. LSU won 4 straight games, one of those was against Tennessee and won 34-17.
Syracuse being out-of-sync throughout this season losing to division rivals Miami and being shutout by Clemson might put an early end for the team unless they refound their fire that started the season with a big win against Oklahoma State.
