If week 1 stats are any indication LSU should pound the run game and keep the ball away from the inept VT offense. Will VT score more than 3 points? :shrug:

SEC Game of the Week

Virginia Tech (1-0) at LSU (1-0) 9:15 PM ESPN


Why to Watch: This is the non-conference game we've been waiting eight months for. It's a battle between two of the best defenses in America and two BCS Championship caliber teams in a game that'll go a long way to shaping the national title race. Virginia Tech has to show that the sluggish 17-7 win over East Carolina had more to do with the weight and emotion of the outside circumstances than the potential problems on offense, while the Tigers are looking for the type of early season victory that would cement them in the top two as long as they keep winning. The defenses will be flying around and doing lots and lots of hitting in what should be a heavyweight war for a full sixty minutes. It's a who's who of star defensive players from LSU's Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson, to Virginia Tech's Vince Hall, Xavier Adibi and Brandon Flowers, and it should be your dream come true if you like low scoring slugfests. It's also a dream come true for everyone looking for great games.

Why Virginia Tech Might Win: As long as the Hokies can win the turnover battle, they have a shot. Mississippi State didn't play all that poorly against LSU, considering it was a 45-0 blowout, but it couldn't hang on to the ball and it allowed the Tiger offense to fire away from close range. The LSU attack still needs to prove it can be consistent, and if the Hokies don't screw up, play ball control offense, and force LSU to go on long drives, this will be close throughout. Punter Brent Bowden had a good opening day and should do his part to pin the Tigers deep.

Why LSU Might Win:
The Virginia Tech offensive line struggled against East Carolina's defensive front, and LSU's is far better. The Hokie formula has been to play great defense, win the special teams battle, and run effectively, but LSU is all but certain to take RB Branden Ore out of the equation and make QB Sean Glennon try to win the game. Glennon can be effective if he gets time, but the LSU pass rush could be too much for a Hokie line that gave up four sacks last week.
Who to Watch: Call this a validation game for two controversial figures. Glennon started off his season by throwing his first pass for an interception, and then went 22 of 33 for 245 yards and a touchdown against East Carolina. While he's been good at times, he hasn't been consistent, and many see him as the one piece of the puzzle that's holding the Hokies back and keeping them from being a true national title contender. He needs to be razor sharp in his decision making, and he has to be absolutely sure on his throws against a lightning fast Tiger D. For LSU, new offensive coordinator Gary Crowton has to prove to the Tiger faithful that his attack can generate points against a top flight defense. While the Tigers put up 45 points on Mississippi State, the offense was hardly smooth and was helped by a D that forced seven turnovers. Virginia Tech's defense is good at making offenses look bad, but if Crowton is the elite coach he's supposed to be, the LSU offense should still produce.

What Will Happen: The Hokies won 26-8 in Blacksburg in the first and only meeting in 2002, but the Tiger program has progressed by leaps and bounds since then. The Tigers are a little better on defense, and a lot better on offense, so as long as they're patient and don't give the Hokies any big breaks, they'll come up with a tough, somewhat ugly win.

CFN Prediction: LSU 20 ... Virginia Tech 13

Don't let last weeks performance fool you VT had to bare the weight of a whole community last week and were emotionally drained. Beamer will have the team ready as the is the game that has been circled on there schedule all spring. LSU was only up 17 - 0 at half on Miss. St. who turned it over 7 times w/ 6 int. I'm sure Glennon will be much better this week and play ball control "O" taking the underneath and check down passes. The first team to 17 wins this one. :00x2 Look for VT to win the turnover and special team battles and pull off this shocker. VIRGINIA TECH 17 - 14 :bigun: :mj23: :mj23: :mj23: :mj23: over the tigers.

Vegas is way off on this line and there is great value with VT. Like always I look for line value & this is a great spot JB. Can VT lose here sure by 13 way to many pts. for LSU to lay. If you want trends & ats reasons for my selection I rarely use them. If VT won by 30 last week this line whould be much lower therefore it is a great vaule. So I again will take the team with no chance and we'll see what happens.

bo, good luck. for once, i don't think i'm on either side of your play. i do like your reasoning though. if i'm not mistaken, historically it's a good play to go against lsu in a prime time home game.

Thanks Smitty gonna get this ship turned around this weekend. Love these situations when one team is given no chance to win.

I agree this line holds value, and it is why I posted Va Tech as a play on Sunday night.

Miss State was a 17 point underdog at LSU in a Nationally Televised game last week. Va Tech enters those same conditions ten days later, and are +13. I think we would all agree that Va Tech's potential and body of work holds more than 4 points of value when being compared to Miss State.

That was the logic for my gut play. Best of luck to you this week BO.

ok guys

ok guys

you got me wondering it's a TEASER I'M PLAYING AND i can win it just by switching to the "weak side" as many points are at stake and will cover if it's NOT A TOTAL MESS
i'll try for once this approach...let's hope it works

I am not going to bet the game. I am an LSU fan and will go to the game. I think this game is a toss up with the spread and will be a tight game until the end. I am thinking maybe LSU 24-13 or 24-10 which puts you right in the middle of the spread either way. I would lay off.
