neither Michigan nor Georgia will be in the title game

Based upon your previously demonstrated uncanny ability to incorrectly forecast virtually every game, I look forward to the Michigan-Georgia BCS Title game next January.

Is hysteria a normal function of all Floriduh residents during hurricane season?

LSU moved up today's opening football game with Appalachian State to an unheard of 10:00am kick-off. No doubt the early hour, the heat and LSU's 3 inexperienced quarterbacks affected the outcome....

LSU runs away with 41-13 victory

With a couple of inexperienced quarterbacks, all LSU had to do was hand off. And Appalachian State never had a chance at another upset.

Charles Scott rushed for a career-high 160 yards on 16 carries, including touchdowns of 8 and 29 yards, and No. 7 LSU rolled to 41-13 victory over Appalachian State on Saturday.

"It really doesn't matter to us" who plays quarterback, Scott said. "The [offensive] line is doing great right now and they're only going to get better. Our rushing game is going to be the strength of this team and we're going to get those guys in the pocket comfortable."

Andrew Hatch, who transferred from Harvard in 2007, took the field on the Tigers' opening three series, which produced 17 points. Miles also gave redshirt freshman Jarrett Lee a chance. Both threw their first touchdown passes as Tigers, but the real damage was done on the ground.

LSU, which averaged about 214 yards rushing per game last season, finished with 266 against the Mountaineers.

Hatch was 7-of-14 passing for 77 yards, including a 17-yard TD to Demetrius Byrd. He also ran for 43 yards. Lee was 6-of-10 for 116 yards with scoring passes of 31 and 39 yards to Brandon LaFell. Lee also threw an interception that set up a Mountaineers' field goal.
