The nanny was not employed by Davis at the time of the alleged help. She was employed by UNC at the time, and then was recommended to Davis for his son (meaning he had no relationship with the nanny at the time the issues occurred).
As far as the line...Given the players we are hearing at this point will be out, unless our offense is MUCH improved, but the farm. Short of a ton of TO's, I easily see LSU winning by 2-3 times that much.
Full strength, I saw this game as a toss-up. If we can get Quinn and one DB cleared, it "might" be a game. Personally, even before all the turmoil, I felt the game hinged on our (and LSU's) degree of improvement on offense.
I guess our only silver lining is...It's a win win for us given the circumstances. If we win, it's an upset. If we lose, we were supposed to due to missing multiple players.
Regardless, the kids will strap em on and represent on both sides. I hope both teams play hard and without injury.
PS...Better pray your program isn't reviewed to the level our has been (emails, text, phone records, etc.). As bad as it looks for UNC, I have feeling lots of programs wouldn't fair too well.

I realize we (UNC) doesn't have the storied f'ball history like LSU, but history means nothing regarding the upcoming season, so I don't understand the few posts that suggest a loss to UNC is unthinkable or inexcusable.
Our D expected to be among (if not the) best in all of Div 1. If not for a less than impressive QB, UNC would likely be ranked top 10 preseason. Like LSU, UNC's success/failure lies on the offensive side this year. This could a special year (10+ wins) or another disappointing 8 win season.
Personally, I think the LSU game could go either way, so either team being favored by 3 is reasonable. What's not reasonable is thinking historical significance has anything to do with THIS year's game.
It'll be fun guys. My in-laws live in Baton Rouge, so I've had quite a few ribs at TJ's and watched the Tigers. You've got a great fan-base. I look forward to a great game, and hope both teams come away injury free.

UNC's offense has not been very good the last few years. Some of the Tar Heel faithful claim there are justfied reasons. Three years ago, we had no talent, freshman QB. Two years ago, our QB was injured, so another green QB led us to an 8 win season. Last year, almost our entire OL was injured along with our first two RB's and we had all new WR's except Greg Little.
There is a degree of truth in all of these excuses, but I'm not sold that our QB is very good. He's adequate provided our OL and running is in fact improved, but we'll see. The thing for LSU to watch out for is if we bring in Renner at QB. He's a highly touted 4* QB who may very well end up our starter. He's more mobile and better arm than Yates and is supposedly out-performing Yates some in the preseason.
That said, I just don't see us starting a RS freshman QB against LSU's D. Maybe if Yates stinks it up early.
Personally, I think the two teams are fairly evenly matched this year, and UNC is better than most people think. IMO, the game will come down to QB play, TO's, and special teams. Hard to predict this one, but to hazard a guess...LSU by 3.

Should a great game. Our D is for real, but our offense is suspect but could be improved as we expect better OL play and provided we find an answer at QB.
We are somewhat conservative on both sides of the ball (especially if we build a lead).
We may be ranked in the top 15-20 to start the season (which means nothing).
How do you the two teams matching up? Objectively, who wins and by how much?
Have a great year guys Please take care of Bama and Florida this year.
