Is that the best you can come up with?

First of all your just basing who i am with a birthdate, which is something a teen would do...

In 2007, Virginia Tech was returning a stellar defense too and we shredded them.

I'm not saying we're going to do the same thing but I am suspect of ACC teams and their statistical rankings. And I readily acknowledge that there are some talented players on their defense.

At the same time, we must acknowledge that our offense was woeful. Unless our line play and QB play improve significantly, it won't matter what defense we play.

We have the athletes to hang 40 on them and we have proven to be capable of ineptitude that they could hold us to under 10 points.

It will be an interesting first game.

Let's say Tigers 28, Heels 13.

I hope JJ has 450 yards in the air and 7 touchdowns while our defense pitches a shutout

All of the hype is based off of Kyper. Look at his draft board from last year and compare it to what actually happened. If he wasn't on the 4 letter network, who basically dominates coverage, we would think he was a bad Elvis impersonator with a side job. They may have some talented players, but 3 1st rounders, is a bit rich. Have they had more that one player drafted in the first round ever? Lets wait till the end of the year to buy in to Kyper's crap. He draft board won't look anything like the filler material he is putting out now. You will also have the NFl with an uncapped year and a potential rookie cap, so who knows how that will work for underclassmen next year.

Comparing our "D" to their "D" is stupid. When will our defense and their defense be on the field at the same time? How 'bout never!

The comparison is our offense against their defense.

LSU played 3 teams last year with comparable defensive stats to North Carolina. We lost all three games. Our offense has to make improvement this year, or we lose more than just 4 games, and we lose to NC.

2 things to remember:

Thing 1:
North Carolina will come into this game with a chip on their shoulder. This is a statement game for them and the ACC as a whole. They will undoubtedly bring their best effort.

Thing 2:
LSU is fast. On offense and defense, and playing on the Georgia Dome turf will only make them faster(unlike the mud in Orlando last year). In addition, LSU has played in that Georgia Dome more times than anyone except Ga. Tech. They are comfortable in that building.

and I don't think they have much depth

They don't. Which is why playing them early kind of sucks.

We all know we are not the 07 team offensively,,,,

Did the season start and I missed it? When we beat NC...and we will beat NC...it will once again show that the ACC is simply not all that. Now, it won't necessarily mean that we are...I'm just sayin'.
