I don't see MSU scoring that many....We have two weeks to prepare for Leveon Bell, Maxwell sucks....I think this game will be pretty close...16-13 type game...MSU of course wins because Ferentz calls for Vandy to throw 4 times and Vandy gets sacked 4 times...

 

[OregonDucks]

BYE weeks suck.

 

[yeodonie]

How does LSU possibly score 21 points on USCe?

 

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

LSU reminds me of the 2009 Iowa team...putrid offense and a great defense...only problem for LSU is who they have to play vs who we had to play

 

[yeodonie]

I'm glad we have a bye week. Heal up our little bumps and bruises. Put a good game plan together for a sneaky good ASU team.

Utah State - San Jose St doesnt have a score

I added the score to Utah State at San Jose State.

You really think we'll upset Mississippi St at their place?

I didn't see CMU scoring that many either and I feel Michigan State has a better offense. It's in East Lansing. Iowa does have 2 weeks to prepare, but they usually don't play well off of bye weeks. I would say at this point, MSU is a better team. Iowa can prepare for Bell, but do they have enough talent to actually do it?

I also picked the score with the assumption that Micah Hyde might be suspended. I actually haven't looked it up though to see his punishment for the DUI or whatever it was. My cousin told me about it this morning at church.

How does LSU possibly score 21 points on USCe?

I figured predicting SCar to score 17 would get the reaction over 21 points from LSU. I think the game being in Death Valley will have a big impact. LSU had a wake up call.

South Carolina might be hung over from their victory over UGA as well.

 

[yeodonie]

I'm all for it. USCe losing helps Oregon but I just don't see LSU being able to score enough on that USCe defense.

No, these kids are fired up by it. I haven't seen a team energy like this here before.

We've not given up over 17 yet, averaging about 10. LSU's not a scoring machine, so I'm with you.
But I hope we win by 42 points so we can jump the Ducks.

 

[iowajerms]

South Carolina is a very strong team and has looked far better than LSU and against far tougher opponents. SCar has looked like the 2nd best team in the SEC. I'm sure they are very fired up about their start of the season and their fans have every right to be super optimistic.

LSU is down right now. They had a few weeks where they had wins that were far from impressive for a top 5 team and they lost to a quality opponent. However, LSU has talent and they need something to happen to stay in some kind of BCS or quality bowl contention. LSU needs this win more than South Carolina for respect. I think LSU will find a way.

BYU QB Hill out for the season w/ knee injury. Not that he was producing a lot of offense anyway.

VT Duke?

Vegas has VT as a 10.5 point favorite with VT coming off of two straight losses and Duke coming off a thrashing of UVA. Vegas is BEGGING you to pick Duke which makes me think that VT is a lock. RUN TO THE STINK!!!

That is interesting. I didn't have it high scoring anyway and both teams lost their starter to injury. I will keep my prediction.

I added Duke at Virginia Tech. I have VT winning 31-28. Duke hasn't played anybody. Virginia Tech has competed against some quality opponent, even though they lost. I find this to be a tough one to predict.

It's the back-up QB bowl.

Upset? Mississippi state hasn't beaten anybody...
