Betmonkey Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 total seems high. These teams used to have decent DEF's? Maybe a small play on the under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbraker Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Les Miles can toss my salad any time he wantsTeddyKGB is a little more forward with his ghost at this forum I see. Over at EOG he at least bought some fellas dinner and talks on the phone/texts them. If he didn't shart in his Hanes in Las Vegas he would have made his move.

Cadillac Pete Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 [h=1]Planning for success: LSU Tigers[/h] August, 26, 2014 AUG 26 9:00 AM ET By David Ching | ESPN.com BATON ROUGE, La. -- The blueprint for an LSU victory on Saturday might seem awfully familiar to what the Tigers pulled off the last time we saw them in action. Sure, offensive coordinator Cam Cameron will add a few extra wrinkles for Saturday's meeting with No. 14 Wisconsin, but the basics might closely resemble what we saw from the Tigers when they defeated Iowa 21-14 in the Outback Bowl: Pound the run It wasn't a pretty game, but LSU hammered an Iowa defense that came in allowing 120.8 rushing yards per game for 220 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. The Tigers rode a tough offensive line -- and only one of those starters has since left the team -- and a career-best rushing effort fromJeremy Hill (28 carries, 216 yards) to what could have been a comfortable win. So what should we expect against a Wisconsin defense that must replace its entire front seven? With Leonard Fournette, Terrence Magee and Kenny Hilliard running behind that experienced offensive line? It might not be as conservative as the start of the Outback Bowl, when LSU ran the ball on its first 12 plays from scrimmage, but until Wisconsin proves it can stop the run, the Badgers should expect heavy doses of Fournette and the boys barreling toward them. Don't put young quarterback in bad situations Anthony Jennings made his first career start against Iowa, taking over for injured quarterback Zach Mettenberger. Although awful weather conditions certainly played a role in Cameron's conservatism, it was apparent that he didn't want to put too much on Jennings' shoulders. That turned out to be a good idea since Jennings often held onto the ball for too long -- Iowa sacked him four times -- and passed poorly (7-for-19 for 82 yards and one interception that Iowa's John Lowdermilk returned to the LSU goal line). Both Jennings and Brandon Harris will play quarterback on Saturday, but Cameron's job will not be to ask them to win the game. It will be to prevent them from losing it. Their competition can continue against Sam Houston State and Louisiana-Monroe without the pressure they will face against Wisconsin. For now, Cameron probably wants to put the ball in the air only as much as will be necessary to win. Play tough against the run Wisconsin's ground game also figures to be its go-to weapon. The Badgers return one of the nation's top running backs in Melvin Gordon (1,609 yards, 12 TDs, 7.8 yards per carry in 2013) and four starters along the offensive line. It's a group that moves the ball on the ground as effectively as SEC rivals like Auburn or Alabama. While the Tigers suffocated Iowa's ground attack in the bowl win (37 carries, 76 yards), Wisconsin's is more explosive than the typical plodding Big Ten offense. LSU lost its two starting defensive tackles from that game and has reshuffled its linebackers. The Tigers think the restructured lineup has the potential to be outstanding -- and it will have to be on Saturday. Playing it close to the vest earned LSU a win to close out the 2013 season, and that might be a winning formula against Wisconsin, as well. Cameron no doubt wants to open the playbook -- and he probably will do so once a quarterback establishes himself and the Tigers' young skill players get comfortable -- but it would make sense if the Tigers' coaches do their best to minimize their risks on Saturday.

BarryRunSome Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Wisky all day. The one Big Ten team that can hang with the BIG BAD SEC. Love their style. Run it down your throat with the big O-line. Here it is. Stop it if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakshade Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Both these quarterbacks are trash. If you can find a prop like Over 2 turnovers that's the best I'd most like to take. Wisky could run it well and win' date=' and so could LSU. Toughest game to cap on the opening card, imo.[/quote'] You called it, some really shitty qb play in this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
