I don't think this team has a down the field vertical passing game. It's pretty much short passes and screens and Trent. Im big on Alabama, but if they don't find away to become more innovative offensively, they might slip up here before to long.

How about LSU

Nothing more really. We can gauge how good Sparty is come bowl season... Lord knows we dont want anymore of the Bama type performances again.

Keep it prospective... It was a good win for your boys. But I think the country knows that Wilson played a bad game.

If that's a bad game against the Michigan St defense, give him the heisman right now. He played a good game. Noone else will average 10.6 yards/attempt against that defense this year (or I'd be really surprised). He also had 2 drops. That game keeps him in the heisman hunt. No idea what game you were watching. Clear problem was special teams and defense from wisconsin.

Boom, I can't find anyone mentioning your apotheosis?

What about S. Car. settling in at -5 @ Tenn.?? Lots of changes and injuries and goofy coaches and stuff to make a season of a soap opera but bottom line I think S. Car. wears Tenn. down and covers. Bad coaching and UGALEE orange pants not withstanding. Do clothes like that get respect or derision?

I don't pretend to be or want to be the uniform TSAR but some of those uni's and some of those coaches need to judged! There should be a uniform police. No respect from me for a coach who is condescending. Orange fucking pants? Geez! So gay!

Orange pants like a Euro golfer would wear. Waiting for the clown shoes and big red nose. Maybe Dooley can squirt water out of the flower on his striped shirt. How about having midgets being student trainers? I'm joking about Tenn. Only picking on them because Dooley looks stupid, orange pants or not. Easy picking, I should be ashamed. Sorry. Don't want Booms thread to get hi-jacked into uniforms or gay coaches.

Boom Can you tell me why you where so high in GT I thought in the beginning of the year they where not a good team and I still believe it. How do you think The Tigers do this Sat night?

Nothing to hide here men. I had a losing week and I hate some of you took my advise on some of these games. But hell, this is football you take the good with the bad at times. The last 2 weeks haven't been profitable. I know it sounds like a old cliche when someone says " I will bounce back " but that's exactly what intend on doing. It looked to me that a lot of people took a hit yesterday. Nothing we can do but move forward.

9. OK, I was also carrying the Brian Kelly and the Notre Dame flag as well. What happened in South Bend last night? USC is not that good of a football team. I'm very surprised at what happened to them. I really thought this team was heading in the right direction, and I know it's just one game. But to lose at home to a team that your clearly better than is mind boggling. Back to drawing board Kelly. Also know this Kelly, They wont wait another 2 years for you to figure things out. They will ship your ass out!

Picks later......

ND is always OVERRated may I remind you.

SC is better than you give them credit. Kiffin can be an idiot, but he called a helluva game in south bend

Dont know too much on Navy but are the irish going to come out flat after getting Demoralized by their Rival? 20 is a decent number to give...I need to learn about Navy.

Oh, Stanford probably ROLL us this Saturday. No play for me though

3. Nobody could have been more wrong about a game yesterday then I was about the G.T Miami game. I mean G.T has officially fell into the tank. My luck they will find "it" again this coming week when they play Clemson. But for all of you that had Miami, Congrats. You will not here another word from me about G.T the rest of the season. They are officially on my shit team list. You know, the list with Florida. Anyways, I'm not sure what happened to this team but whatever it is, it aint good and im not betting on them anymore this season. i was surprised really that u still on them, i respect u a lot, and still do --after the shady moose against NCST Gatech fall from grace in my list, and i wasnt wrong since then fade them has been money to me, and suspicious were confirmed after the Terps almost fuck them, they were just mirrors and smoke

Yah i agree here. you had a ranked team getting points against a nonranked team. the red flag went up, but it was one of booms locks so i went with it. its all good. thats on me, i aint blamin boom. i got crushed on saturday. luckily i crushed em on sunday to make my money back.

SC plays at home this weekend vs Stanford (I'm seeing Stanford -7.5 which is very very tasty imo). We will probably lose that game, and also get rolled by Oregon. Possibility of upset is always there, but if I knew going into the season we would go 9-3, I would take that all day long considering the circumstances we are in.

Interesting you were all over GT this season but now you're betting on "your team" against them. I know they've played awful the past couple of weeks but here's some food for thought from someone would couldn't care less about GT or the ACC...

Clemson has not played a pass defense ranked inside of the top 38 BUT this week they play GT who has the 8th ranked pass defense. Teams aren't shying away from passing against them either as they have the second most pass attempts against behind only Alabama (who teams are constantly playing catch up on).

Clemson and GT are 76th and 77th respectively in rushing defense. Teams have been trailing Clemson the majority of the game (2nd half esp) and have not been grinding it out on the ground at all, in any game, in the 2nd half. That statistic and fact that Clemson has such a large margin of victory would be very concerning if I was a Clemson fan/bettor.

Clemson has played two teams with Qbs that run. Wofford and Maryland. Look up those statistics on defense and you will get a cold, hard, reality check....

Which is that the Clemson defense isn't built to stop a team like GT. Wofford ran all over Clemson, as did Maryland's Qb. Both those teams have nowhere near the running game GT has. They've struggled with GT in the past and I wouldn't touch the Tigers this week at anything more than a Pick'em.

Sure GT lost to UVA and Miami, but those were on the road and this game is in ATL, in primetime. Clemson has only played 2 road games and while they did play good in Blacksburg, they very easily could of their last outing against a terrible Maryland.

I'm just saying that this is a very very bad spot for Clemson. I will be on GT and if I can get 7, I will be on them large.

There isn't a team in the ACC that can stop Clemson offense right now. GT has played garbage teams and have just squeaked by....I don't care what kind of run game GT has bottom line Clemson is a better team Tigers win easy.

Boom,

Baylor is my team, but I just don't see them keeping it anywhere close against Ok St. Look how their D did against A&M and Ok St. has a much higher powered offense. It's gonna be a battle of the O's and unfortunately Baylor just can't keep the consistency from posession to possession, especially on the road. I see Ok St. by 21 points or more.

C'mon Boom, even Kelly knew USC was better than ND.

No time outs called during the last 4 min? Kelly would rather lose by 14 and not risk a bigger deficit, than try to win the game. That's a man who'd rather ensure defeat than risk a bigger margin of loss.

Kelly vs Kiffin? I'm still wondering how good Kiffin turns out to be. But Kelly looks very suspect. Numerous turnovers v SF. Letting Michigan score in the last 30 seconds. Getting destroyed by USC @ home as a 9.5 favorite.

Either way, much respect. The top ten is always a good read. BOL this week.

I'm predicting a similar outcome to Baylor / Aggies game scorewise. Plus, Weeden is a better QB than Tannehill.

This game has me puzzled as well. There is no doubt everyone and their mother will be all over Clemson this week with the way tigers & jackets have been playing of late.

That said this isn't your typical Clemson team. They aren't just getting by or pulling out close wins. They are putting up big time numbers on the scoreboard.

How does gt keep up on the scoreboard with the type of offense they run?

I hear what you are saying with the stats on clemson's run d, but if they are up by 14-21 points will it matter if gt can march up and down the field? Sooner or later the clock will expire.

On one hand this looks like a Clemson blowout on the other the line looks way too easy.
