jimmy - I'm still thinking about that Bama first half. Gotta make another deposit if I'm gonna do it, though. It IS a later game. Could wait to see what happens with earlier action. Absence of Ingram won't mean shit.

KSU, Saban has these guys chewing nails. He has let everyone know that all starting positions are up for grabs in this game. Saban has prepared the team for San Jose St. as if it's the game of the year. He is telling the players to understand that their performance in this game will determine a lot of playing time for the first half of the season, so they better take their preparation going into this game seriously if they want to be a factor. Basically he has extended fall practice by a week. God I feel sorry for SJSU. I wouldn't want to face what they are going to see tomorrow.
I like -23 (1st Half) and -37.5. Those are "Best Bet" lines for me!!! I can't see Bama missing either of those marks.

Great discussion in this thread. Here's my 2 cents.
Bama's chance of covering the spread and going over the total is improved because their backups are legit. Of course everyone knows about Trent Richardson (who should have a huge day), but Bama fans can't wait to get a glimpse of Eddie Lacy, another stud RB who is behind TR on the depth chart. Then you got backup QB AJ McCarron who has looked great all summer. Basically, you are going to get to see Saban's last 3 top 5 recruiting classes for the first time. My guess is the backups don't miss a beat against SJST, compared to let's say a team like UF who has a lot more uncertainty at backup QB and 2nd string skill positions.
I just read the writeups off both the KSU and UCLA Rivals site and both believe this game will be won by the team that can run the ball. On paper, that favors KSU who has an awesome RB and especially since UCLA replaced it's whole front 7 on defense and KSU has a veteran O Line. Then you have the QB situation at UCLA. As a Vol fan, I've seen UCLA's QB's the last 2 years and they were not impressive (even though they beat us!). UCLA's QB's are going to turn the ball over.
But then you have to factor in UCLA's kicking game, which may be the best in the nation. That probably means that K State will be pinned deep in their own territory on a lot of drives. And since KSU's bread and butter is running the ball, that makes for some long and timely drives which equals a low scoring ball game. Plus, UCLA is going to get points whenever they can and will probably settle for Field Goals early on, which also means a low scoring game.
In conclusion, if I bet on this game I'm taking KSU and the UNDER.
Best of luck tomorrow everyone.
