Week 4 Picks

A dose of the Twilight zone Perhaps?
Two years ago this game started at the same time the same situation. Could this be déjà vu. Well I’m going to tell you why this Saturday’s Michigan Penn St. game will be déjà vu but will also not be. For those who don’t remember two years ago with a second left Henne passed the ball to Manningham on a short cross route to win the game with 1 second left on the clock. Now back in the big house Michigan looks to repeat their winning ways against Penn St. but Penn St. looks to get their revenge… this may be the year to do it too. Michigan looks like a suffering team but they may finally have their confidence back after smashing Notre Dame 38-0. While Penn St. comes in undefeated again and ranked 10th.
Well will the Michigan offense with Hart and possibly Henne, but it may still be Mallet… but either way they’ll have the receivers to help them out… be able to conquer the Penn St. defense. This defense is no joke either… but their offense is questionable and may not be able to keep up with the Wolverines. But I can’t be sure that is why we have to play these games. Another 4th quarter thriller.

The Head Ball Coach will get to play in the “Game”
This could very well be the most intriguing game this weekend. I know that LSU managed to destroy Virginia Tech but now they must play conference opponent South Carolina. Who won’t let them walk out easily on top. This game will be, if as well played as it could be a 4 quarter epic. South Carolina beat Georgia 2 weeks ago surprisingly now they’re 3-0 and looking to prove their ranking. Beating LSU in Baton Rouge would have to be the best way to prove that you should be a top 25 team if not a top 5 team.
The wonder is will the Gamecocks be able to get something going on offense? They have a great running game but LSU has a defense that is just killer. So they’ll have to try and find the holes if there are any. Then their passing game will have a big leap to make as they threw three picks last week against South Carolina St. But will LSU have an offense that can do anything against South Carolina? They’re offense has scored a lot of points but it may just be the dominating defense. But Steve Spurrier may have something up his sleeve and if he does LSU may want to watch out.
LSU 31 South Carolina 26
Another SEC game that will be oh so interesting.
Well now Nick Saban will have another test. But will he be able to take it on? There shouldn’t be to much doubt. After his Crimson Tide beat Arkansas last weekend… they will now have to go up against Georgia. The good news for Alabama they get Georgia at home. My wonder is if Alabama is a contender in the SEC west… could they challenge LSU for the crown? Or will they not be able to? Georgia on the other hand put themselves behind early by losing to South Carolina who is also from the SEC east. But it is the SEC and I’ve seen division champs come out with 2 or 3 losses before. So it’s never over.
Passing wise everything is equal. But on the flip side the Tide have rushed for almost 200 yards more through three games. Can Georgia step up though? They were seen as the team to challenge Florida at the beginning of the year. Now will see if they can play a SEC team with that kind of style that they need to. But Bulldog quarterback Stafford is planning on doing something in Georgia’s first road game. If he wants the win though they have a lot they’ll need to do and quickly not later.
