Just a tad late on this one (look for the Week 2 preview later today). Trying to think back to a week ago Thursday, the LSU / MSU game played out pretty much as I expected. The LSU offense sputtered and seemed to have trouble adjusting to the new schemes and new guys on the O-line, and I do hold out hope that Crowton was saving the good stuff for this week”s game against Virginia Tech.
On defense, absolutely no complaints about the Tigers. Not that it was a tough game, but the results were pleasing.
I had picked this as a 24-10 game, and I think the math works out that if you take a 24-10 game and add six interceptions and a fumble, you get 45-0.
Elsewhere in the SEC:
I blew the Tennessee / Cal pick, as I stupidly thought the Vols might be able to stop the Bears on at least one drive. Stupid me.
Georgia took care of Oklahoma State, and in more impressive fashion than I had predicted. Auburn had to come from behind to beat Kansas State, but that always seemed like the outcome for that game. And all of my other picks were right, with the biggest surprise being Alabama throwing 52 points up on their patsy.
So in week one, Tennessee stumbles but no other real surprises. Indications are that Georgia is good and Florida still has an offense. We”ll learn a lot more this weekend.
For the week: 10 - 1
For the season: 10 - 1
