Joe Alleva announced late Wednesday that the LSU game will be played at 7pm (central) at Tiger Stadium as it was scheduled.  

“It is apparent that the storm will move far enough to the west that we can play the game in Baton Rouge,” Joe Alleva said.

So LSU and North Texas are lined up to play on Saturday at 7pm.

however !

Noone is sure yet where the game will be. Hurricane Ike is the culprit and as the locals know Baton Rouge was hit pretty hard by Gustov.  Let’s do a checkpoint again on Thursday We’ll give a game preview and hopefully the big guys will have a made a decision on this.

In the leiu of the damage that Gustov has created in Baton Rouge and in Lousisiana as a whole, we are still waiting on a decision in regard to the LSU vs Troy game being cancelled or moved to another date. We expect a firm decision on Thursday.

Well we couldn’t have called the spead any better !    we were dead on.

However our predicted score was a couple points off. Final score

LSU 41   App state 13

 LSU dominated, Charles Scott rushed for 160 yards and  2 touchdowns while Brandon LaFell  had 4 receptions for 87 yards and 2 touchdowns. Lee and Hatch both split time at QB (they looked about even in performance to me)

While we certainly have our prediction labeled out in our previous post, I’m getting alot of request on pre-game stats for this weeks game against Appalachian State.

So in response. I’ve listed out some 2007  Season ending stats below. Also, I added a counter to the schedule page whereas it seemed appropriate there. enjoy !.. and again if you want our prediction just read our previous post.  

Note (if you cant read it well just click on the image it will load the picture in other page for you) sorry..

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.

For the months of June/July/August we have selected LSU Legend George Ellwood “Doc” Fenton to be in our All-Star Player Spotlight.

Doc had a six year playing career 1904-1906 at Mansfield University and at LSU from 1907-1909. Doc played multiple positions but is most well known for his QB role. He scored 132 points in 1908, 59 points in 1909. For his three years at LSU he totaled 298 points. This included 36 touchdowns. His longest field goal was 45 yards. Mansfield had a 16-3-1 record in his time, LSU was 23-5 for his three years. After finishing at Louisiana State, he coached two years, then entered the oil business in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Doc Fenton died February 8, 1968, in Baton Rouge. He was elected to the LSU Hall of Fame in 1937 and to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1971.

Other Notes *
