The Solid Verbal: Luck will run out in Week 6

It was only a matter of time before the ball stopped bouncing that way.

Ahead of a particularly deep slate of Week 6 matchups, let’s ask and attempt to answer the following questions:

• Is Miami, with a new coach, efficient QB in Brad Kaaya, and swarming defense, finally ready to turn the corner vs Florida State, even in potentially wet and windy weather?

• In another Big 12 game that doesn’t appear to feature much in the way of pass defense, where do the advantages lie between Oklahoma and a reeling Texas?

• Why will Washington-Oregon be particularly ugly for the Ducks, even in Eugene?

• Is the North Carolina-Virginia Tech game the best QB matchup of the weekend? Is it even close?

• Can Notre Dame get to .500 with a win over a particularly efficient NC State?

• Where has USC turned a corner to the point where they could comfortably beat a surging Colorado?

• In what appears to be a big defensive matchup, where are the advantages in the LSU-Florida game?

...and much more!
