re: LSU opens as a 4 point favorite over South Carolina

I wouldn't come down so hard on your offense. They didn't play their best against Aubie and Towson, and against UF they brought a tougher game, but UF has an elite D. Injuries have hurt you. No Williford or Faulk for a lot of the game, of course Faulk is out for the year though. You don't have a really good blocking TE, and JC Copeland was playing injured. Mett is a statue in the pocket who has all of the tools to be really good once he works on his decision making. You have a dominant D, you just need to find your fix up wrong on O and you can win most of your games without Mett doing more than he needs to.

The voters are giving us too much respect. Also gives South CARolina bulletin
board material/ motivation.

LOve LSU but seriously we are going to be lucky to make it to Chik-Fil-A bowl.

Thanks for the kind words...Mett needs to get it together fast. Not sure why we don't try one of the other 4 QB's on the bench...

Don't tell Les or Stud we may punt on first down :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Falling like a rock. Down to 2 1/2

Let's put number 10 in and go to the spread...cant be any worse that what we have seen so far...

What O, the bigger the game the worst they play

We will be frying that bird Saturday.

Most Power Rating sets had USC 2 minus 3 for HFV heading into this weekend, thus LSU -1 or 1.5. With tonight's disparate results, who knows? But, with USCe's close win at Vandy and it's close 1st Half roadie effort vs UK last week(then 2nd Half rout), coupled to an angry LSU team off an L, it should be either team opening less than 2, then letting the betting market decide where it goes. If either team were to open as much a full FG chalk, it would be LSU at home. LSU opening -2 or -3 is my prediction. If LSU opens -3.5, -4, or more, then the wiseguys would nibble on some USC.
