Tennessee @ Cal -4.5 (4 UNITS)
Tennessee had a more improved passing attack last year with Cutcliffe back at OC. Ainge improved and rebounded from 2005 but he did have knee problems during spring practice that led to surgery. He is suppose to be back 100% but that time could've been used to click with almost an entire new WR corp. UT loses its top 3 WRs including 1st round pick Robert Meachum. The 3 players combined for 148 receptions, over 2300 yards, and 21 TDs.
Outside of WR the biggest question mark on offense may be the UT running attack that finished 96th in the country. The tailback by commitee didn't work and it looks like sophmore Lamarcus Coker may be the best of the bunch and will carry the load.
UT finished 50th overall on defense and couldn't stop the run finsihing 72nd. Losing its top 3 DTs in the rotation to graduation won't help. They have some young talent there but not sure they will be ready in time for the opener. In the secondary they have to replace both corners due to the graduation of Jonathan Wade and Antwan Stewart along with the injury to Inky Johnson and Roshaun Fellows getting booted from the team they are extremly thin at corner. The Vols left spring practice with only 2 corners on the depth chart and none of them have started a game. They also lost starting strong saftey Demetrice Morley to grades recently.
With Florida coming up in two weeks how much focus will this team have on Cal?
Cal returns everyone on offense but the left side of the line and Lynch. Longshore should be even better throwing to one of the best WR corp in the country led by the first team all-american punt returner Desean Jackson. the senior Justin Forsett will be just fine at RB and bring the same dimensions in the flat that Lynch had. Forsett had close to 700 yards rushing last year so he's seen plenty of action.
Honestly when does a Tedford offense ever really lose a beat?
The defense is where the issue was last year especially defending the pass where they ranked 108th. Only 5 starters return as well so there will be some early growing pains. Unless secondary coach Littlejohn made some improvements in his second year at Cal this game may come down to who's offense will be more explosive.
LSU –16 @ Mississippi St. (4 UNITS)
I think this will end up being Croom’s last year at Miss. St. In three seasons he has only one win vs. a winning D-I program and only 3 wins total vs. D-I programs.
Now he opens up vs. the most talented team in the SEC and maybe the country in LSU who hung close to 50 on the bulldogs last year. I understand that that game was in Baton Rogue but its not like homefield advantage helped the bulldogs last year in blowout losses by 34 to Auburn & 28 to WVU.
His specialty as an asst. was offense/running backs and so far that has been the teams biggest weakness for some reason. Yes the Bulldogs return everyone on offense but it’s the same shitty offense from last year that ranked 103rd overall. QB Mike Henig brings his 43.8% completion percentage back for another year to go along with the 104th ranked rushing attack that avg. 2.9 ypc.
It also doesn’t help the Bulldogs when your offense can’t consistently move the ball and your punting is even worse avg. 107th in net punting.
The defense was decent last year especially against the run but they lost the strength of the defense, which was its DL. They lose three off the line that combined for 100 tackles. The secondary was a mess lost year and they did lose a lot of depth there as well. They will have two new sophomore starters at corner and backing them up will be two converted WRs.
LSU is in the same neighborhood as Texas and USC where they recruit so well and just are loaded with ridiculous athletes all over the depth chart that it doesn’t really matter who left the program. When playing opponents of extreme lesser talent usually results in blowout city. Les Miles has been popping his mouth off left and right and is probably going to come out and make a statement in this opener.
Matt Flynn will be fine in replacing Russell as will this entire #2 ranked Tigers as they roll the Bulldogs here.
Arkansas St. @ Texas –37 (8 UNITS)
I typically play 1-5 units on all my plays during the season except for 2-3 games throughout the year I just have to hammer. Even though its early to be playing this game it’s an early gift from the books. I’ve hammered the Texas opening game and halftime line for 4 years now and it’s been absolute money.
No need to go into detail on this game since its been talked about plenty I’ve seen already on the board. I’ve seen that you all know the scores for UT’s opening games but its not just openers where they dominate its usually any team they are considerably more talented then.
You should always play Texas in these spots. Just in the last 6 years Texas has won thirty-one games by 30 or more points and the numbers get even more staggering recently.
I do know one thing and that is the coaches and players are probably chopping at the bit for football to start since it’s been a turbulent off-season for Texas. They lost two players to academics, one of which had a promising future at LT, and 4 other players getting arrested.
Andre Jones who was a true frosh 5 star tackle and probably the most important recruit in this past seasons class, and sophomore Robert Joseph who was likely to start and become an All-American at safety are both off the team after an arrest where they robbed someone at gunpoint.
Sophomore LB Sergio Kindle the top HS defensive player in the country and former RB now DE Henry Melton both got DWIs and probably would’ve just gotten slapped on the wrist in years past but because of the Joseph incident were given three game suspensions.
Texas had its best recruiting class in the Mack Brown era two years ago. Majority of those guys are sophomores or redshirt freshman now and are pushing the upperclassmen for their positions.
The two biggest positions to look at for this game is at RB where after Jamal Charles gets done after the first quarter Texas will be breaking out Vondrell Mcgee for his first collegiate game. The redshirt freshman put up huge numbers in HS. The east Texas district that he played in is arguably one of the best HS districts in the country as the NFL talent that has come out of there is just ridiculous.
Mcgee has reportedly looked outstanding in summer workouts and is the Longhorn that I’m looking forward the most to make his debut this year. Someone needs to step up and take the #2 spot behind Charles since he isn’t the 25 carries per game type of back IMO and he had the case of fumbles last year when splitting time with Selvin Young who I’m very glad graduated.
The other position which will be crucial to Texas this season is the back-up QB position. The team fell apart when Colt Mccoy went down with the injury and it was obvious Mack didn’t trust the true-frosh Snead who had just went only 13-30 for 190 yards in the loss vs. KSU.
When Snead had to play in the KSU game when Mccoy went down in the opening drive he had only attempted 17 passes all year even though UT had plenty of opportunities to give him more chances in blowout games.
Based off of Snead’s performance vs. KSU, Brown played in obviously injured Mccoy who couldn’t even throw the ball thirty yards downfield in that game. Brown admitted it was one of the biggest mistakes he’s ever made not playing Snead more to get him ready since it ended not only the teams MNC hopes but the Big 12 title.
With Snead transferring to Ole Miss this leaves Texas inexperienced once again at the back-up QB spot and rest assured Brown won’t make the same mistake twice which means this game will get ugly if they are airing the ball out more. Fighting for the back-up role are two bigtime playmakers in RS FR Sherrod Harris and the 5 star true frosh John Chiles.
While Mccoy had an outstanding freshman season he will probably be the last non-dual threat QB Texas has starting for them for awhile when he moves on. Harris and Chiles fits the VY type offense Texas uses as both these kids can fly. In the spring game both QBs had electric runs for TDs.
I had this game pegged at around –45 so playing it at –37 is a no-brainer.
