NCAA Football Betting Lines

06/11/2007 - Bozeman, MT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Montana State has named Rob Ash as its new head football coach.

Ash spent the past 18 seasons at Drake University and also coached at Division III Juniata College for nine years. He has an overall coaching record of 176-99-5.

"I am tremendously honored to be chosen as Montana State University's new football coach and I promise to build a program that the university and its supporters will be proud of," said Ash, who agreed to a three-year contract.

Ash posted a mark of 125-63-2 during his tenure at Drake and leaves as the school's winningest coach. He was the Pioneer League's top coach in 1995, 1998 and 2004.

"Rob Ash embodies all the attributes that we were looking for in our new coach," said athletic director Peter Fields. "His teams are known to work hard on the field and in the classroom while doing the right things in the community."

Ash will take over for Mike Kramer, whose contract was terminated in May following the arrest of a number of team members within the previous year. Kramer compiled a record of 40-43 in seven seasons.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
