McGiven to run Montana State's offense

NCAA Football Betting Lines

02/20/2012 - Bozeman, MT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin McGiven is regarded as being a quarterbacks-type of coach.

The Montana State offensive coordinator must be thrilled to know the Bobcats have one of the FCS' best quarterbacks returning this season in DeNarius McGhee, who will be a redshirt junior.

In McGiven's most recent season in the Big Sky Conference, he served as the offensive coordinator of the 2008 Weber State squad which won the conference title and advanced to the FCS playoff quarterfinals.

"He's very innovative and creative as a game plan designer," Montana State head coach Rob Ash said, "but I don't expect dramatic differences in our offense. It's not broken. He can tool his offense to the personnel that we have, based on what he's done at different stops. He's not tied to a certain offensive scheme. He'll evaluate our personnel and do what he can with what we have."

McGiven has spent the last three seasons on the FBS level, as the quarterbacks coach at Utah State in 2009 and at Memphis in 2010 and '11. He also was the assistant head coach of offense at Memphis last season.

He was the offensive coordinator at Southern Utah in 2005.

Montana State shared the Big Sky title with Montana and finished with a 10-3 record last season.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
