you seem to know alot about LSU; why are you on Miss State; have they improved alot over the year? LSU defense i just cant see them allowing Miss state to score and knowing Les Miles; he wont let up at all; LSU should be in the NC game this year and with how much you beating teams seeming to make a difference; this could be a blood bath; but I dont know alot about Miss State other than they were pretty bad last year and are poorly coached. Thanks for the picks!!
ncaafb plays
- Thread starter Cie
- Start date
The Dawg offense returns almost everyone including top WR, a very good RB and all 5 OL.
Defensively, Miss St loses plenty, but they have some talent at LB and DB.
As for LSU, I think Flynn & Co. will be good going forward, but this is still their 1st game under a new offensive system. LSU D should be awsome, with some minor concerns at safety in terms of experience.
I feel LSU is more concerned a/b VT on deck than Miss St. This is Miss St's BCS Bowl. Dawgs have gotten their nuts stomped bigtime by LSU several consecutive years and should be sky high.

Agree on that one... It's the bullfrogs +21? or pass.... I couldn't lay that number in this spot with LSU, as good as they are this year. Best of luck this season, Cie! 
Tulsa @ UL Monroe
LY's 4-8 record is clearly deceiving when you look at UL-M's 5 losses of 5 points or less. I look for carrry-over for the UL-M offense, which gelled nicely late last season. Defending UL-M offense takes plenty of prep, could cause problems for young Tulsa D.
UVA @Wyoming
Wyo was better than 6-6 LY imo. The young QB got it going the 2nd half of the season, and I expect it to continue into his soph campaign. Wyo outplayed UVA statistically LY, despite a narrow loss on the road. Look for Wyo to to be way up w/ revenge in mind. This is a tough trip for any east coast team, and I have little faith in UVA on the road to begin with. Led by Al Grogh, Groh, the Cavs have failed to cover in 8 of last 10 road games.

Dont know if you care about trends/history much. But Miss State has not come with in 30 when playing LSU in the last 5 years.
Cant see Miss State putting up more than 6 this game-they can never get it together against LSU.
Not to mention last year it took State 3 weeks to get in the end zone. Dont see where they improve much, the starters they are returning were nothing to write home about. Hope I am wrong...since I go to State...

are you game ?
Yea I can see what you are saying but LSU defense next to USC is the best in the nation and I just cant see Miss State scoring unless its garbage and Miles runs its up every time I understand the look ahead thing but I would think if anything they would keep starters in entire game just to get them ready and LSU defense is scary; and historically LSU has shown against Miss state even if Miss state is up for this game LSU will want to fine tune things and for me its just scary how good LSU defense is; Miss State may not move it past their 50 and Flynn is no stranger and its not like LSU doesnt have huge weapons on offense also; but you are the expert on LSU not me good luck like the plays
Corley, Get my email from Jack. I will be at the L.S.U./State game Thurday. I'll get your phone number or vice versa.
I will be boiling a bunch of big ole' Louisiana 9-12# Gulf shrimp and were doing jambalaya and plenty of 'refreshements'. Would like to meet you and have 1 or 12 :toast: :toast: :mj06:

Have fun at the game bud and would love to join this tailgate sometime:00hour
Found this elsewhere:
For the most part, new coaches are brought into college football programs that are in need of a transfusion. Much like a body that undergoes alterations during a lifestyle change of
diet and exercise, it also takes a while before fi rst year coaches turn a program around. In fact, all teams with 1st year head coaches are
1077-1205-35, or 46.8% ATS, since 1990.
The groundwork is laid in the fi rst year, when new coaches install new playbooks and game plans. Consequently, these teams really struggle out of the gate. That?s confirmed by the
fact that, since 1990:
? 1st Year College Football Head Coaches in Game One are
a 42.7% pointspread proposition, going 71-95-6 ATS.
A lousy team is often defined as winning four or fewer games the previous year. We agree with that statement because:
? Four win (or less) teams, with a new 1st year head coach,
are 30-48-5 ATS in their initial game scheduled. No less thaneleven teams open the season in this role: Army, Florida International, Idaho, Iowa St, Michigan St, North Carolina, NC State, North Texas, Stanford, Tulane (9/8) and UAB.
Pair a ?new coach lousy team? against a ?good team? (one who won six or more games last year) in season openers and you have the makings of a massacre, as these pairings find ?new head coach-lousy team? combinations at 4-42 SU & 11-30-2 ATS. There are five such pairings to open the 2007 season (the ?new head coach-lousy team? listed first):
8/30 ? IOWA STATE vs Kent State, 9/1 ? IDAHO vs Usc, FLORIDA INT?L vs Penn State, NORTH TEXAS vs Oklahoma and Stanford vs UCLA.
