what's your take on the LSU line movement?

I was actually considering buying Clemson up to +7 when they were at +6 ev. Tajh Boyd is a legit QB. I think it makes a lot of sense that there was a buyback on them after LSU opened at -3.5. That being said, LSU should roll today now that their DL is 100% healthy again.Comment -

5 minutes before this I had my finger on the button for a MUCH larger wager. If I wasn't down 16u in the bowls, I likely would have done it. The Clemson D came out strong, but it's just a matter of time until the LSU running game starts winning on every down and Boyd and his receivers are looking decidedly less comfortable now with the threat of an immediate hit on virtually every passing play.Comment -
how did they not blow up that D-Line on 3rd and 1.....need a FG here. I agree this game should look better in the 2nd half, but i always want a lead.Comment -
that was HUGE....if we can get a FG before the half, i like our chances of carrying that momentum.
and on que the game does a 180...Comment -
I stand by what I said before. Boyd will become less and less effective as the game goes on, under constant pressure. It's really too bad LSU wasn't a little quicker with the timeouts near the end of the half as they really could have had another opportunity if there was 20 seconds left on that last 4th down instead of 5.Comment -
i want to see no more then 4-6 throws from hamberger this half....and when he throws its to be on 2nd and 1 in clemson territory to go up top.
run run run...Comment -
i dont watch much SEC football, but isnt LSU normally a running team? i feel like i am watching Warren Moon and the Oilers Run and Shoot...Comment -
They're more balanced when the game is close or they're down, and run heavy when they have a lead. They just have the reputation for being run heavy because they spend so much time leading and because of the quality of their RBs.
Also, they run more when playing other SEC teams where so many of the teams are built for power football on offense/defenseComment -
i dont get it - how do you pass 2 out of 3 times with first and goal. the play calls are so predictable. never against conventional wisdom...
3rd and goal from the 3 - run twice and i almost guarantee 6 pts..Comment -
Clemson's front line is pretty stout against the run. My favourite play inside the 3 yard line has always been a sweep from a 2-back set, tossing out to the tailback for a headstart to the edge and the fullback leading. Very effective when a defense is geared up expecting a straight-ahead power set.Comment -
i want a fg right here...rather it 8 then 11.Comment -
that was an amazing series.....2nd and 7, you give up on the run and go no back from the shotgun. no question that a pass was happening in a down where you normally can go either way....horrible. i hope lsu uses its timeouts on defense here if boyd starts moving the ball.Comment -
To be honest, I stopped watching when it started to smell like a loss. Didn't want it to ruin my night out for NYE. I was really confused with LSU's playcalling late in the game. The reliance on the pass game that Miles showed when they had the lead was really uncharacteristic of him, and as much as you can credit Clemson for hanging in there, you really have to lay a decent amount of blame on Miles for not prioritizing ball control when his defense had already spent so much time on the field for the night. Pretty frustrating loss...Comment -
I couldn't even stomach watching the games today. I think I'm probably just going to cut my losses on the Bowls (still in the black with the regular season) and wait it out until July when I can start doing my homework for 2013.
For what it's worth, the only things left on the board that I really like are the Florida/Louisville Over 45.5 and Texas A&M -3. I lean to Notre Dame to pull off the upset, or at least the cover. Let's see what happens.Comment -
Every single thing Florida has done this season has been about announcing that they're back as a force to be reckoned with. I don't think this will be a game where they're content to just sit back and run clock on offense. I think between Gillislee and Driskel, the Cardinals should yield a decent amount of yardage on the ground as they're not very strong in run defense, and once the run game is established, the play action passes will be game on. I also think the massive ST mismatch is going to create a lot of short fields for Florida and allow them to put a ton of pressure on the Lousiville defense early and often.
For Louisville, Bridgewater finished the season injured and his numbers took a hit, however fully healthy again, he's such a dynamic athlete that I feel like he'll generate a decent amount of offense. I can see Louisville only needing to put up 14-17 points and Florida providing the rest. I'll play it tomorrow as it's getting juiced up right now, and will surely get knocked down tomorrow .Comment -
Hey SK, dex said to ask you, I need an opinion
