Lsu -27

App returns entire front 7. thats the good news. Bad news is they lost the whole secondary and the worse news is their defense wasnt even any good last year. Gave up a lot of points to 1-AA teams.

On offense they return their do everything QB, but lose their running back and both receivers.

Plus people keep talking about whether App can do it again, LSU players are probably overly concerned at this point. LSU is not Michigan, they are a lot better. LSU should score easily. Can App score enough to cover? I doubt it.

pick is LSU
played Hawaii-Fla u71 earlier

BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU has moved up the kickoff time of its home opener Saturday against Appalachian State because of concerns about Tropical Storm Gustav.
A spokesman for the school's board said Gov. Bobby Jindal's office asked for the change from 4 p.m. to 10 a.m. local time (11 a.m. ET).
Spokesman Charles Zewe said the switch was required because of concerns over traffic, as evacuees are expected to be heading north through Baton Rouge.

"Public safety was the overriding concern expressed by all parties when we met with the governor and his staff today," LSU director of athletics Joe Alleva said Friday. "Ten a.m. is obviously not the optimal time for a football game, but when one of the options was to not play the game at all, this is a matter of making the best of an unfortunate situation."

Jindal already has declared a state of emergency to lay the groundwork for federal assistance, and New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin said he would order a mandatory evacuation of the city if forecasters predict a Category 3 strike -- or possibly even a Category 2 -- within 72 hours.
All pregame activities already have been canceled, including those at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, which is being readied as a possible evacuation site.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Im aware of the time change and LSU's possible distraction. It makes me like the play less, I was going to put more on it. Maybe I still will.

Weather during the game will be sunny.
