BYU-GT BIG PLAY

[whormoan]

AJ Suggs will carry the clipboard. Reggie Ball gets the start - 1st starting TRUE FROSH QB on opening day in the history of GT football. True frosh going up against blitzing D with 11 starters back will mean turnovers and disaster. BYU - 4 by DOUBLE DIGITS!

Record: 1-0

This game is 2 days away. Anyone else with any contrasting thoughts?

Here's what they have over at lineball.com
Don't know about the contrast.
BYU -Ga Tech complicates life for Crowton, suspended Jackets

Can Tech really beat BYU with so many suspensions? The real question is, is BYU anything like they were five years ago? Can I answer "no" to both questions?

I agree on BYU. In addition to a true frosh QB, GT has 3 new, inexperienced starters in their secondary to face the complicated BYU passing attack. GT is also breaking in a new PK, a new P and a new PR.

And don't forget, "since Nov. 7, 1998, BYU has lost only one game to an opponent in a payback situation, posting a 15-1 record" ...while..."the Ramblin' Wreck has left the Eastern Time Zone only six times since 1983, posting a 1-5 record."

I would think BYU is the way to go here. That true Frosh seemed a little cocky in the begining. Think he gets a big dose of reality.

for some reason this looks too easy. the line move from -4 to -3.5 worries me a little. From what I am hearing the public is playing on BYU. Those are the only reasons that I dont like this wager. I'm not taking GT, just to be clear. That hook might end up being significant, would like to hear some views on GT.

ATX, read my triple play selection on BYU. This should help with some insight.

action, I am trying to get some more regional (from Georgia) guys to comment on GT. I have read your thread, thanks for the writeup.

schaeon, I have info from 8 bookmakers so far, they are all writing more on BYU.

As I previously stated, i clearly like BYU in this game. People betting GT would argue one MAJOR FACTOR - SPEED. The Rambling Wreck, despite the suspensions, still have far more team speed than BYU does. This is an ACC school with higher caliber athletes.

Still like BYU
