LSU will open the 2005 season at home against a pretty good North Texas team that went 7-5 last season with all seven wins against Sun Belt Conference teams. North Texas is coached by Darrell Dickey who has posted a 37­26 record in seven years as head coach for the Mean Green. North Texas returns six starters on offense including Jamario Thomas who rushed for 1802 yards and 18 touchdowns in 10 games. Also returning in the backfield will be Patrick Cobb who led the nation in rushing two years ago but took a redshirt year in 2004 because of an injury. North Texas' biggest challenge on offense will be to find a replacement for quarterback Scott Hall who was a four-year starter. The leading candidate to replace Hall is sophomore Joey Byerly (6’4”, 250) who has good speed for a player his size. Byerly has two excellent receivers in Joe Quinn and Joel Nwigwe. The offensive line for the Mean Green only returns two starters in Jason Mays and Dylan Lineberry. North Texas only returns four starters on defense but they do have two outstanding returning starters in linebacker Brandon Moore and defensive back T.J. Covington who is an outstanding pro prospect.

I think it will be a long night in Tiger stadium for the Mean Green who will have a long ride back to Denton Texas. Coach Miles will get his first win as the head coach at LSU and will be able to play a lots of players. Dandy Don's pick is LSU 44­North Texas 7. In my Tuesday morning update I will write about Arizona State.

I would love to dispute some of that....but he is pretty close to right on. I have the game LSU-45 - North Texas 17. I would love to be wrong on this one, but my focus will be to survuve the LSU game, and stay healthy for MTSU. I know a lot of people wont like that, but 9-2 or 8-3 still gets us to the Big Easy. This team still succeeds this season whether LSU beats us by 7 or 40, so the game just doenst mean much to me. I dont like losing either, but a 1-1 start to this season works for me. Just please no injuries in Baton Rouge...

Thanks for the post, Harry.

GMG!!!

lsu's defense is loaded and defense is always ahead of offense early on. because of that, i am expecting about 14 points (maybe). i spoke to a buddy who graduated from UT who thinks we will be close late with a chance to pull it out in the end. it may've been some perrilux (sp?) anger in his prediction, but i think he'll have to throw us a few balls for us to stay close (which is why i'm hoping he starts). all i expect is a 2-2 non conference schedule.
