College Football Play of the Day for 10/1/11

Texas A&M

Texas A&M at Arkansas, with the home team getting 2.5 points.

The way I look at it, it's only 2.5 points and A&M has looked like a much more potent team that Arkansas this season.  This will be a conference game as early as next year with the Aggies joining the SEC.

Now it's just a great matchup.

The Aggies are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Look for the Aggie's offense to pick apart the Arkansas D, first by the run, then by air and win by about 10 points.

Take A&M and give the points.

The Philippines and its residents are bracing for another powerful storm expected to dump massive amounts of rain over the same area just flooded by Typhoon Nerat.

Forecasters say the new storm, Typhoon Nalgae, will hit the main island of Luzon Saturday morning. They say Nalgae has intensified rapidly and now bears winds of more than 200 kilometers per hour.

Officials are warning residents to be take precautions and stay alert to the storm's progress.

More than 40 people were killed and 30 more remain missing when the first storm went through the region this week. The storm downed trees and caused huge waves that crashed over seawalls in Manila, flooding a hospital, several businesses and the U.S. embassy.

Heavy rains also caused widespread flooding that has yet to recede in some areas.
