Thursday College Football Player Props
Hunter Watson 50+ Rushing Yards (+130)
There might not be anyone left in the Sam Houston Bearkats running back room other than Jevyon Ducker, who is in the transfer portal but may play on Thursday. Accordingly, take dual-threat quarterback Hunter Watson to go over his alternate rushing total.
The Bearkat defense is also ravaged by the portal, and it’s unclear which players will play. That means the offense could opt for a ball-control approach and utilize Watson’s legs, which have been electric when he’s healthy.
Jalen White 80+ Rushing Yards (+134)
I also like Georgia Southern Eagles running back Jalen White to go over his alternate total. The Bearkat defense is thin, even without potential opt-outs. If a few guys decide to hit the portal early, it could be a long night trying to bring down White.

Georgia Southern’s passing offense is explosive but inconsistent, so the Eagles should lean on the running game for reliable yardage. It might take most of the game, but the Bearkat defense should eventually wear down.
