Off to run to anther meeting, but a couple of points about the game tonight:
- Ohio State has played a weak ass schedule, so it’s hard to look at their body of work and see how they’ve done.
- If you look at their stats against I-AA teams and BCS conference teams, they actually played like shit against the weak teams, and they get up for big games. A little un nerving if you ask me.
- LSU has played a hellacious schedule this year.
- LSU has been injured all season and are healthy now, however Beanie wells was injured for the 2nd half of the season.
- Beanie wells does not equal Glenn Dorsey, Ricky Jean-Francois, Early Doucet, and Matt Flynn.
- I don’t buy the “Ohio State is being disrespected” and so they’ll play mad and win. They’ll play mad but that won’t equal the talent gap between the two teams.
- I also don’t buy the “Ohio State is just as fast as LSU” argument. The difference is going to be with LSU’s defense. On offense, I actually our speed is about equal with Ohio State’s DL, LB’s and DB’s. However, our DB’s, DL, and LB’s are much MUCH faster than tOSU’s offense. I expect a pick six, even though Boeckman is a really good QB, I think Zenon, Jones, Steltz, and co will get the edge.
- Brandon Lafell has seemed to bounce back from his mid-season errors and is playing well at the present.
- Super midget Trindon Holliday is healthy. SPEED SPEED SPEED.
- Given all of these items, I think that tOSU will have a good running game, but will have a miserable passing game. We will ultimately beat Tressell at his field position game and win by 2+ TD’s*.
*Disclaimer: There’s always the “Bo Pelini is asleep at the wheel because he’s the new nebraska head coach” argument, there’s your wildcard. There’s your equalizer folks.
In other news:
- USC and Georgia in no way have any argument whatsoever. Just because you’re good at the end of the season and blew out a high school team from Hawaii, or the 3rd best team in the Big 10 doesn’t negate the losses on your scheduled folks. USC has done less with more talent than anybody else in the nation. Georgia, you had to win your conference. Tulsa has as much of an argument as these two teams.
- Why is Les Miles widely regarded as retarded in the media but Frank Beamer, Herban Meyer, and Bob Stoops are widely regarded as masterminds of the game?
- Saban – almost choked that game away against Colorado. That was some of the worst 2nd half adjustments the world has ever seen, but not the worst – let’s not forget that game against Iowa in 2004 people.
- Kevin Smith – good but not as good as all the hype surrounding the game vs. Mississippi State. Good win for Croom!
In the coming weeks, we’ll release:
1) our vote for the lowsman trophy – the worst player on a bcs conference team. Who is going to win? Current front runners include o-linemen from Syracuse and Notre Dame, some members of the secondary in south carolina and Nebraska, and the entire miami hurricane team.
2) the top 25 people most deserving of a beating in college football.
3) Recruiting updates galore.
