Damn I saw that game on the schedule and didn't think it would be that high at all. Va tech should be pretty good this year right??? I know Jones, Wilford, Grove and Hall are gone but they still have lots of talent. USC no doubt is going to be good but I may have to take those points there.
YIKES, USC -17 vs V-Tech. That sucks. I was gonna bet my whole account on USC -3 or less. (yes I know I was reaching for -3)
I would take V-Tech +17 in a heartbeat. USC has all new starters on the OL, new WR corps (unless Williams comes back), veteran but new DB's as well. USC very easily could struggle in this opening game on the road and V-Tech has mobile QB (which I hate playing against). USC also plays subs in blowout so backdoor is highly likely with such high spread.
3 things that worry me. V-Tech loves to blitz and that is bad news breaking in a brand new OL unit (but very talented and big). 2nd thing that worries me is V-Tech special teams. Always solid and USC punter is the best in nation but very slow in punting. 3rd as I mentioned above is mobile QB. I guess I can throw in a 4th and that is this is an opening game of season and on the road.
There is chance WR Williams might not make it back and rumor has it that a star upcoming WR (Lewis) might have grade problems and won't qualify unless he passes summer school.
Still early but right now I lean to V-Tech. Have to see how the USC summer practices go.
