QB Bo Levi Mitchell, SMU (thanks Icon SMI)

Week 3’s edition of Feast or Famine will provide fantasy owners some insight as to whether or not certain players are good bets to keep up their current pace (Feast) or are due for a drop off because of better competition, their skills etc., (Famine).

Which Bo Levi Mitchell should we expect? Is he the feast we saw against UAB or the famine we saw in the display against Stephen F. Austin?

Feast is the only answer that can be given.  In any June Jones offense, you are going to have to take the good and take the bad.  Against the Lumberjacks of SFA, Mitchell threw for only 202 yards, 1 TD and 2 INT.  Not the type of performance you are looking for against a team that doesn’t play in Division 1-A.  Then against a red hot UAB team coming off a manhandling of Rice, Mitchell threw for 353 yards, 3 scores and 2 picks.  While the picks will always be there because of the amount of times he throws the ball, Mitchell should be good for 250 yards and 2 scores every game. It comes as a surprise that he is owned in only 77% of Athlon Sports Fantasy college football leagues. If you can find someone that is more consistent, so be it.  But the feast definitely outweighs the famine with any high-octane passer, especially one with the benefit of being coached by June Jones.  Read the rest of this entry →

So without further adieu, here is the list of ‘Who would have thought that’ for the opening week of the 2009 College Football season. Read the rest of this entry →
