Iowa RB Coker transfers to Stony Brook

NCAA Football Betting Lines

01/31/2012 - Stony Brook, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Iowa running back Marcus Coker has enrolled at Stony Brook in one of the bigger transfers of the FCS offseason.

As a sophomore last season, Coker rushed for 1,384 yards to finish second to Heisman Trophy finalist Montee Ball of Wisconsin in the Big Ten in rushing. He also scored 15 touchdowns on 281 carries.

Coker was investigated for an alleged sexual assault, but not charged, in Iowa City last fall, according to a (New York) Newsday report. He played in five games after the alleged incident, but was suspended from the Insight Bowl by the university for a violation of team rules.

As a transfer from the Bowl Subdivision to the FCS level, the 6-foot, 230- pound Coker is eligible immediately at Stony Brook. He will be a junior this fall.

Stony Brook announced Monday night that Coker will not be available for comment until spring practice in March, but released a statement from the resident of Beltsville, Md.: "I'm very grateful to Coach (Chuck) Priore and Stony Brook University for this opportunity. I've become aware of Stony Brook's growing football program and outstanding academics. I'm excited for spring practice and the chance to help my teammates win a fourth straight Big South championship."

Stony Brook is coming off its first outright Big South title and reached the second round of the FCS playoffs in a 9-4 season.

Coker, who rushed for 622 yards and scored three touchdowns as a freshman in 2010, will help the Seawolves replace senior running back Brock Jackolski, who rushed for 1,418 yards and 16 touchdowns last season.

Coker will join returning running backs Miguel Maysonet, who rushed for 1,633 yards and 15 touchdowns, and JeVahn Cruz in what should be another dominant rushing attack.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
