re: LSU @ UW Prediction thread: Sat, Sep 5th (ESPN 9:30 central)

JJ plays like he has more experience than 2 games.

JL isn't scared of a hit, and he has learned to make good decisions.

CS and KW are awesome as they split carries. As they should.

All of our playmakers get the touches they deserve. Even Randle and RS.

Our defense plays like the players actually know how to play the positions they are in. See Coleman and Brooks/Taylor/whoever.

Our fans actually travel well. And they are loud.

No BS. Bet the tigers to cover.

LSU 56

38-13 TIGAHS

if UW scores in the double digits... wow...

I saw your prediction earlier. Wow!

Here are some things to consider:

1. UW had #14 recruit class in '08.
2. Locker is a pretty good QB.
3. UW O-line has dropped considerable weight from last yr.
4. New zone blocking scheme installed
5. New coaching staff, renewed enthusiasm for year.
6. First game, anything can happen.
7. Chavis is 0-2 his last 2 yrs in Pac-10 country. Losing to a UCLA team last year that was using their 3rd-string QB. Despite UCLA's 4 TO's, they still scored 24 points in regulation. UCLA was the 111th ranked offense last yr.

I would expect UW offense to have some success vs. our D.

But, our offense should have pretty good success vs. their D.

I'll send my prediction in next week.

that's an average of 41.5 points a game for 4 years straight.

and a average of 11.75 points a game given up.

which was really skewed because of the arizona st game and a prevent defense installed by bo pelini.

(2 out of the 4 games, only a field goal was put up)

LSU 38
UW 10

LSU 52 Washington 10

LSU 41, UW 6

LSU 44 - 13

66-0 LSU
