Complete Week 1 Schedule

I'm curious how Boise will look without Kellen Moore. Mostly because they'll be in a BCS Conference next year, and all of a sudden their players will be fantasy eligible.

ATLien · 08-26-2012, 05:26 PM

How much did Michigan State lose from last year? Their talent on defense impressed me during the bowl season and Chris Petersen says Michigan State is a better team than the UGA and Virginia Tech teams that he's beaten.

The highlight games all look watchable except for two, but only for scoreboard watching to see if Spurrier loses and I am curious how good Tennessee will look. They have a young, promising defense but they are in the first year in the 3-4 defense. It usually takes a year.

JonMatrix · 08-28-2012, 05:37 PM

I wonder how long it will take for Denard to leave the Alabame game with an injury. His running style vs. a Saban defense....

I wanna see how Penn State looks. They play Ohio at home, 12pm on Saturday.

I'm looking at Louisville's schedule...they could be ranked in the top 10 at some point this year.

ATLien · 08-28-2012, 06:14 PM

Picks: Michigan, Michigan State, Clemson, Georgia Tech (Upset), NC State, South Carolina (but I'll be doing back flips if I'm wrong).

They lost Cousins. MSU has good depth, they should be fine, it's just that you never know what you'll get from a QB making his first start. For what its worth I hear that he looks good.

ATLien · 08-28-2012, 06:34 PM

Louisiana Tech game postponed. Now Texas A&M has to play without a bye week in 2012, rough.

Maxwell supposedly looks good. With all the defensive talent returning and Dantonio still roaming the sidelines I expect the MSU defense to be very good again. Jerrell Worthy was a huge loss on the DL, but Gholston is finally realizing his potential, which is scary. MSU should win 8-10 games.

I'll be watching the UM/Bama game with a Michigan contingent. I'm rooting for them to win, but I run through every scenario in my head and cannot see it. Saban/Smart with 9 months to prepare for Denard? Thats scary. UM fans don't seem to understand that if you keep Denard in the pocket you nuke their offensive effectiveness (see first 3.5 quarters of ND and MSU last year). If he can get out and use his legs/speed to create thats when he is scary. Denards going to have to turn in a Nebraska/OSU esque performance from last year for them to win, but I'd never count him out.

Nimreitz · 08-30-2012, 12:03 AM

Yeah, JJ Watt and company went into the Big House in 2010 and were up 24-0 at halftime. He's not good. That wasn't even a great Badgers defense; amazing offense though.

**Diable** · 08-30-2012, 04:23 PM

Love to see Vandy stick this in the End Zone...well I'd like to see them stick it up the ol' ball coach's hind parts to be perfectly honest

ATLien · 08-30-2012, 06:20 PM

Is Lattimore not 100%? Why weren't they giving him touches when Shaw was in the locker room?

ATLien · 08-30-2012, 06:27 PM

We already have the play of the year, guys.

Holy shit that is hilarious...but then I am not a Kent State fan.

**Dissonance** · 08-30-2012, 07:45 PM

Their opening drive, Washington St moving down field against the Mormons.

Tuel is 7/8 for 54 yrds so in Leach's offense.

**Dissonance** · 08-30-2012, 07:51 PM

BYU dropped back 8, Tuel bad throw after moving around, tipped and picked.
