Some Wednesday notes

- We've been over this a few times here at CM Life, but I'll say it one more time: CMU gets a lot when they go on the road and play a team like Georgia: 1) They get money ($750,000). 2) They get exposure (FSN South, and whatever ESPN highlights come out of it). 3) There's a chance at a stunning upset.

Then again, there's risks involved, especially when you lose 56-17, including this. In particular, this line: "The Bulldogs have looked fantastic in their past two games, but South Carolina is an actual team while Central Michigan and Georgia Southern, well, they’re not exactly online football betting powerhouses."

It was all about putting up a respectable performance, and even though the game didn't play out like a normal 56-17 game, unfortunately, it has to show with the score. Nobody outside of Michigan or Georgia looks at anything but that. We'll see next week, when CMU travels to Purdue, a team it came three points away from beating in the Motor City Bowl last year (51-48).


- Incase you haven't looked much into Ohio yet: Theo Scott, their starting QB, is not playing Saturday because of a broken collarbone. I'll definitely get into how that will play a factor into Sturday's game over the next 48 hours, on here and in CM Life. All I can say right now is, they do have a dual-threat backup in Boo Jackson.
