My thoughts exactly regarding the G Tech QBS but I think Nesbitt will play.  He was in uniform last week.  If it wasn't a FCS team I think he might have played.

Quotes from the new starting QB for Clemson:
 
Q. When did you find out that you were going to be the starting quarterback?
A. "It was actually Friday morning. I was on the Internet with my roommate, Chad Diehl, and saw it pop up on Tigerillustrated.com. That's how I found out."
Q. Did you sense something was going to happen based on how the offense was doing?
A. "I was completely surprised when I found out I would be starting this week. I thought there would be no way. That's how things have gone since I've been here… stay with the older guy, the senior and usually don't make a change. I was completely surprised when I found out about it."

Dicky Lyons JR prob will be out vs Arkansas this week for the wildcats. 
 

Coach Rich Brooks confirmed at least a torn MCL ligament from a hyper-extended knee, but cautioned against speculating on how long Lyons might be sidelined pending more testing.

 

Lyons is there leading receiver and def. the best receiver on the team, big loss for the wildcats.

Love the Geo Tch play! ML for sure. That's of course if those two key players come back. Thanks for all your efforts friend it is greatly appreciated.

I love Arkansas, South Carolina, Rutgers and Ole Miss but not sure about the GA Tech play. Doesn't it remind you of your reasoning to play Rutgers (which I agree with)? The fact that Tech is 5-1 and Clemson is 3-3 and that public knows it (they have been embarrassed nationally by Bama and Maryland), yet Clemson is favored by 2?!?!

For me this may be a small play on Clemson or a no play.
Let me know what you think man.





GL to all

Boy, that sounds like a coach that has his shit together with his players huh

It's not Harpers fault his line is atrocious.  Seems like a desperate smoke and mirror move for Bowden to hopefully buy him some more time to figure out how he's not going to get fired. 

GT's D-line is going to have an absolute field day.  I don't see how this game gets out of the 20's.  13-10 somebody

Dugie- Not to much like the Rutgers or Vandy game simply because vandy was undefeated and uconn is 5-1, both of there opponents had only won 1 game so far. It is basically right on par with what lines makers have done all year for Clemson in favoring them. Clemson hasnt won ATS yet and GT hasnt lost ATS yet. Could be a trap but i think i got to bite on this one.  Also GT just came off a 3 point win over Gardner Webb and i think they put alot of that close win into this line.  The average bettor looks @ them almost losing to Gardner webb and thinks how can they beat the almighty Clemson if they could barely beat Gardner Webb.

The key with that is trying to figure out what team's defense sucks so poorly to let Auburn move the ball, or timing just right when that offense gets good enough to at least move the chains a few times in a row on average.  Problem is, I don't see much spot left in the remaining schedule where it looks opportunistic
 
@ WVU
@ Ole Miss
UT-Martin (why bother)
vs UGA
@Bama
 
Not looking good for Auburn, I could EASILY see 1-4, 3-2 or better would be a miracle

G8RB8-  I think they are going to try and work a little bit more of there old style offense into the playbook and by the last 3 games there offense SHOULD be slightly better.  I dont normally like betting Auburn as @ Fav anyways, but as a dog they usually do alot better.  When they play UGA it could be a very good spot because they got embarrassed @ UGA last year and will be looking to get that one back. But first and foremost like you said i have got to see something from that offense before i put a dime on them. To me just watching them with Chris Todd @ QB vs Kodi Burns it is a easy decision to me who should be starting.  Burns provides alot more big play opportunity and while he may be alittle more turnover prone he can make up for it with his big play ability.

The one thing Auburn does have going for them is a bye this week.  If there's any team that needs to lick their wounds and start over again, it's that one (or maybe Tennessee).  Maybe they can find some continuity, I can already see my dumb ass trying to talk myself into betting them against WVU.

Dyoung - agree completely about GT. I have +3. If neither Nesbitt or Shaw go I'll get out, but otherwise I have GT and their 56 tackles for loss on the season up against that Clemson O-Line...

Since you didn't ask, G8RB8, I think the smartest thing Florida ever did was move away from that really dumb-looking logo.

I'm definitely leaning GT, too... but I can't pull the trigger just yet.  I wish we knew ahead of time which game it will be that Clemson will show up out of nowhere and blow somebody's doors off.

I don't have a good feel for the LSU/SCAR game.  It's another road game for LSU, and I've maintained all year that their QB problems will cost them at least 3 games.  I just don't know if this is one of them. SCAR is very streaky, and it's not like they have more talent than LSU. I think it's likely I'll no-play that game.

For you and BID, I swear to God back in the 80's when they had that shit and I was not even 10 yet, I had a bengal striped gator hat, and it had the same logo that's in my avatar on it. . .  I SO wish I still had that today, the reaction to pull that out for FL/UGA weekend would be incredible.
