^^^ that is a nice teaser i have Lsu +7.5 LSU is going to score on that tar heel defense teams with good playmakers put up points on that unc defense. VT ( young at wr last year) D Ncst,canes, florida st, GT are the only teams with above avg wrs Lsu has playmakers as good or better than those teams. Duke, the citadel, ecu, virginia, georgia southern, Boston College, and Uconn ( uconn is a good team nice rbs but nothing special at wideout.) on those 7 teams listed who are the playmakers at wr? Dont buy the hype that defense isnt as good as the stats say they are. Renner is going to share snaps with tj yates butch davis says. Kid has never had a live game snap now his first pass is against a Lsu defense with elite defensive speed pep levingston moved to DT from defensive end ly and "slow" rahim alem are gone and speed rushers are in on a fast track in the Georgia Dome vs that secondary do you have any idea how small the windows are going to be to fit passes in. Unc missing top playmaker on offense and a key part of that defensive front, dual qb rotations with one shit qb in yates and the other that has never thrown a pass, and the cloud of the Ncaa investigation all summer.Comment -
We know Lsu can run with Florida and Bama and that they may be faster this year. we know what happens when Acc plays the Sec in recent years. If im wrong wont be the first time roast me after the game
i put alot of time into this one i think im on the right side.

guys, UNC doesn't have the kind of talent LSU has. According to Scout, they have NEVER hauled in a better recruiting class than LSU at least back to 2005. Less talent and a VERY shaky QB spells doom for UNC. I don't buy UNC becoming a powerhouse either. Miles may be an idiot but his counterpart in this game isn't much more competent IMO. LSU is the play IF you have to bet this gameComment -
ok...I heard something on the radio and was only half paying attention. What is this investigation into UNC?Comment -
Sound likes it had to do with players/families getting hotel rooms from agents and has spawned into finding of academic shenanigans too -- some rumors say things could get real bad in the next week or, so far as they UNC may have several players suspended. The School is talking with NCAA, so thats never good -Comment -
Look for the 5th time!!! Play LSU and leave it a lone. I been saying this for weeks. Stop making this harder than what it is.Comment -
^^^ thats what im talkin about

lsu for me , they will good this yearComment -
LSU is the better teamComment -
ehhhh... i might do itComment -
I respect you for the posts that you use to keep people informed. However, you are way off base here. You think LSU has a good defense? Check the 2009 stats buddy. They gave up chunks of yards each game. Also, LSU over 7.5 wins is a GREAT bet. And, Alabama is going to beat LSU in Tiger Stadium? You say that with such ease, but you are forgetting something. Alabama barely won at LSU when the Tigers had Jarrett 'Pick 6' Lee. If you watched the game, you would have seen that LSU was no pushover. Have you ever been to Tiger Stadium? I bet you could suit up 22 guys on this forum in LSU jerseys and play in front of that crowd and beat 3 teams on their schedule right now. It is a very hostile environment. Also, you need to check LSU's record in season openers over the last 15 years. It is pretty impressive. As usual, everyone will keep d-riding all the so-called media darlings and we all know how they fade into the sunset by game 6. No disrespect BigdaddyQH. I just wanted to inform you on this one. BOL this football season by the way.

I dont know if its wise to take UNC here, but I know why you CANT take LSU here....and if you Jefferson against the Gators last year, you know exactly why too. Until he proves he can resemble a QB against a very good D like UNC, I wouldnt take LSU even in Death Valley under the lights. Agree with BigDaddy, foolish to touch this one.Comment -
Last year, Jefferson was starting for the first time. Not to mention, being hand-cuffed by the LSU offensive coordinator. Peyton & Eli Manning said that he was the lone standout at their qb camp a few months ago. There were over 400 participants. I would definitely trust the Mannings when it comes to grading performance at the qb position. LSU in Death Valley is an extremely tough out. Did you not read my post about them starting Jarrett 'Pick 6' Lee against Alabama in their last home game against the Tide? Tigers out played Bama and came up short because of that moron. LSU will beat Bama at Tiger Stadium this year. November 6th is the date and Bama is already a big favorite at some books even this far ahead of time. There is no way that LSU doesn't cover a big spread at home to anybody for that matter. I find it funny that people who are supposed to be 'in the know' about so much when it comes to college football, can't even locate an early winner that is staring them in the face. You know who you are.....BOL regardless of who anyone takes in the opening games

... and its now up to 5 points some places.
This article is a good read:
BY CAULTON TUDOR - Staff Writer
North Carolina quite clearly has an institutional oversight problem regarding its football program.
The extent and impact of that deficiency likely will not be known until an investigation into a possible full-blown academic scandal runs its course.
But for anyone to deny that the school's football culture is either out of control or very close to that point is to completely ignore the rancid odor that has permeated Kenan Stadium throughout the summer.
That's especially the case with head coach Butch Davis, who is being paid $2 million annually to win games and operate a clean, respectable program.
In defense of both Davis and North Carolina, the entire big-time college football community has become so totally out of control that the current problems are probably closer to the norm than the exception.
Counting assistant coaches, graduate aides, support staff, equipment experts and various other personnel, many schools have more football-related employees than some corporations.
The perceived cost of high-level competition is such that even in the midst of the current investigations, an awkward $70 million expansion project is under way at Kenan.
The addition is being called "The Carolina Student-Athlete Center for Excellence" with the core words being "student-athlete."
The facility will include a 13,600-square-foot weight room and - get this - an academic support area that the school says will be the largest of its kind in the ACC.
Presumably, that is where the team's tutors will do their chores.
There's a big demand for tutorial assistants in football and basketball at almost all schools these days. But that's to be expected when the standard recruiting procedure across the board is to annually sign at least a few players who have no more than marginal interest in attending college.
As with at least 75 other major colleges, North Carolina needs to simplify and purify its athletic operation, while cutting back operating costs in football and basketball.
The big-time football model of the past 10 or so years is financially and ethically unsustainable. There are NFL teams that would die for the sort of football infrastructure and personnel budgets routinely found on college campuses.
For all its investment and emphasis on the sport, North Carolina last won a league football championship in 1980, while Wake Forest and Georgia Tech have won titles during the past four years.
Regardless of where the current probes lead, North Carolina needs to come away from this ordeal determined to keep a closer eye on all sports but particularly football.
Proof of that much was right in chancellor Holden Thorp's words Thursday when he said he "didn't think this would happen, and we still don't know the extent of it."
Who knew what should come out eventually, but at the least Davis should have known that he was operating in a dangerous area by hiring a tutor for his son that had also worked for the football program.
Athletic director Dick Baddour added, "We don't yet know the extent of the issue" regarding possible academic fraud.
In other words, there was a possible time bomb and no one noticed or heard anything.
What's more, apparently no one in power was looking or caring seriously until the possible academic wrongdoing happened to pop up during the course of the NCAA investigation into player/agent dealings.
Now, a group of UNC folks will attempt to sift through the backwash. In addition to school lawyers, Baddour said UNC compliance chief Lance Markos, assistant AD John Blanchard, former longtime faculty rep to athletics Jack Evans and current faculty athletic rep Lissa Broome will be on the team.
Hopefully, that group will be expanded to include at least a couple of faculty members with no ties to athletics.
Thorp said, "The way Carolina does things will be apparent in how we handle this" and "we will not let these mistakes define our university and what we stand for. We will use this to be a better university, a better athletic department and a better football program in the years to come."
That process has to begin with conducting the most thorough, transparent and neutral investigation possible.
If the fact-finding mission follows any other direction, the school will again have failed to maintain the best possible institutional control.
