LSU vs. Appalachian St. Countdown Begins !

Our Prediction

LSU – 38   Appalachian St – 10

The Line

Vegas has this match up right now around 23 points.

Pre-game notes:

Appalachian State

While Appalachian State had a great game against Michigan last year, and if you look back to 2005 and how they held LSU to 10 points into the fourth quarter. You might initially think Appalachian State could have an outside chance this time around. Thats one opinion I guess, Here’s another. Anytime someone comes into deathvalley they have to give it the respect it deserves and thats in reference to the powerhouse teams. Appalachian State, I think may get lost in the size of the crowd and the simple fact that they will get to play the BCS National Champions. Awestruck.

LSU 

Since we referrenced that LSU game in the first note.. we should probably go ahead and tell you LSU shut them out that game 24-0. We will get to see how well LSU adjusted to its personnel changes and I think this game really just amounts to a pre-season warmup game for LSU. I think Appalachian state will score a TD and a field goal probably off some of LSU early mistakes. but thats about it. I will be interested to see how our “co “defensive coaches fair now that they are stepping up into the Lead roles as well as our new Special Teams coach -Joe Robinson. Doug Mallory and Bradley Peveto’s style shouldn’t change too much since they have tenor on the squad however. Its hard to tell from a distance how well they will capitalize.
