LSU to play Appalachian State

[lizrdgizrd]

Agree to disagree. I think the Big 10, top to bottom, is the strongest conference in the nation most years but most of the commentators seem to have an erection for the SEC. I've never been able to understand why.

# The SEC leads the Big Ten with a 65-46-2 all-time record.

# The SEC has a .584 winning percentage versus the Big Ten.

How many years do you have to go back before the SEC has an advantage over the Big 10? They may have the edge all-time, but not so in recent years.

How many years do you have to go back before the SEC has an advantage over the Big 10? They may have the edge all-time, but not so in recent years.

recent years? Have you been watching the same football games the rest of us have the past 2 years? Have you seen what happened Ohio State in the last 2 BCS championships? this past year there were 3 SEC-Big 10 bowl game match-ups, and Michigan came away with the only Big 10 win. Overall in the '07-08 bowl games the SEC won 7 of 9 and the Big 10 won just 3 of 8. In 06-07 the Big 10 won 2of 3 SEC-Big 10 bowl match-ups but those were their only 2 bowl wins out of 8. The SEC won 6 of their 9 bowl games.

Does not say Big 10 prowess to me. yes over the past to years the have been even in bowl games against each other, though OSU has gotten blown out in both championships, but general Big 10 bowl game performance has been piss pour where as the SEC has done fairly well in bowl games.

[AshevilleApp2]

I'm a Big 10 fan, but I have to agree that in recent years the SEC has been better. It seems like this goes in cycles, and I expect the Big 10 programs to be stronger in the future.

who is the most hyped by the media tends to go in cycles too but there is always some lag, so as a conference is emerging at the top it takes a couple seasons for the hype to catch-up and then by that time the decline has usually already begun. Then they are over hyped for a while.

This century it's SEC 16-13 over Big 10. xwhistlex

[ericsaid]

The only way the Big Ten will get better is ultimately because of Rich Rodriguez going to Michigan. He will change the way the Big Ten schools recruit because his players will be ready for high tempo games that are fast paced, while all of the other Big Ten schools are expecting to still be playing hard nosed offense and defense with a minutes break between every play.

When the Big Ten starts recruiting for speed and not so much size, they will be the top dog again.

The last 18 Big 10 vs. SEC matchups are split right down the middle, 9-9. Not exactly the kind of SEC dominance that you would expect given all the kool-aid being served by SEC zealots. Both conferences annually place about 5 teams in the top 25 on average. You can make arguments for either conference being slightly better than the other, but there is no logical way that any rational and objective person would agree that the SEC is as vastly superior as they're portrayed to be by some. This is exactly why I hate the SEC so much.

I don't know what the heck's going on with him. I heard his high school coach on the radio saying that he was never any problem when in high school and was a model student and leader. If the story is true, and if I had to bet I'd bet that it is, I just don't understand how he could let himself get out of control like that given the circumstances and given the potential that his future holds. This guy is an incredible physical talent who could be looking at a whole lot of money if he can just get a grip on himself.

[JohnStOnge]

Go to http://www.nfl.com/draft/history?abbr=U and you can see NFL draft history by school. Over the most recent five NFL drafts, USC had 30 players drafted, Florida 28, and LSU 26. Ohio State had 39 taken. They had 10 taken in the first round. I'm not going to count again but I think USC had like 7, LSU the same, and Florida like 3.

Ohio State wouldn't be outperforming schools like USC, Florida, and LSU in the NFL draft if it didn't have speed. I don't know what their problem has been over the past two years in the BCS championship game. Maybe it's the fact that they had a longer layoff than the SEC champs have had. But it wasn't speed and athleticism.

Agreed. A QB is supposed to be a leader and he has shown, IMO, that he is a poor decision maker. There's no doubting his talent and ability on the fieldl and I think that given the situation the team is in reguarding depth at QB, he will remain on the team untill he is convicted of something and at that he may still be on the team.xnodx

Look Dave. you are the only one here making any claims of a conference being superior. I was simply refuting you unfounded and apparently hypocritical (b/c you doing the very thing you claim to hate) statement with actual facts. I don't not hold a strong allegiance to the SEC, as I have only been at UT for about 2 years know, and I am not claim the SEC is the best conference in the nation. Honestly it varies a lot more then the media or most fans admit. Anyway, this board is not about Big 10 vs SEC and I have no time for whiny hypocrites. So to you I say GOOD DAY.

I'm a Big 10 fan and I think that it is the strongest conference top to bottom, but at the same time I'm reasonable enough to concede that a case can be made for either of these two conferences being slightly better than the other. I think it is ludicrous for anybody to claim either one is vastly superior to the other, which many talking heads in the media seem to do in regards to the SEC. I think that conference is way overhyped, and therefore will be cheering very hard for App. State to beat LSU. That is neither whiny nor hypocritical.

Exactly, waiters/waitresses get enough crap from cooks and mangers. If RP did that, it doesn't surprise me. He sounds like an unremorseful kid who is only behaving and going to class because he realizes that his ticket to the NFL might not be issued.

I home Jacque Roman hits him right on his knee and ends his career. Then when he's waiting tables at some Red Lobster in back woods LA, he might get some of that humility he so desperately needs.

How would the people at the resturant even known who he was, unless he played the " dont you know who I am. I AM RYAN PERRILLOUX!! LSU QB!"

They should have never reinstated him, he seemed to be getting things together, before he was said to be back on the team.

I know that yelling at a waitress is not a big deal, it's the arrogance and poor descisions in the past that I think meritts a dismissal.

Bet ya Jerry Moore wouldnt put up with his crap!

I was both a cook and a waiter. its your job to deal with d-bags. what does that have to do with football? did he break a law?

I was too, and yes you are right, it is your job to deal with "d-bags". I don't know about you, but I was pretty good at waiting tables, and even still there was always someone who thought you could be doing your job better. Now the way one would deliver this message really reflects the type of person they are. It's pretty evident that this kid took it to the next level and was out of line.

Where it pertains to football, is that he wouldn't be on LSU's campus if it were not for his scholarship that the good tax payers of the State of Louisiana help foot the bill for. As a result, he is a direct representative of the university and should act like it.

Some kids take the time to do good things with the time that they have as a result of having their schooling paid for. It looks like RP likes to give others who aren't so lucky a pretty rough time.

This way, when we win in August, everyone will know that the top of the FCS can play with Anyone in the country.

Well said.......AlphaSig the only way anyone can gauge themselves is to compete against the very best. Potential injuries are the only downside to this ballgame. There are few other downsides and many possibilities of adding to the FCS respect factor. For that much $ I'd jump in the ring with Mike Tyson..........Few teams would have hope on any level, but no one can question App's heart. I think the entire FCS will prosper with the media attention and hype. Anybody else got that gut feeling?

Now that we know the Labor Day date is out, has anyone heard anything about TV for the game on Saturday night? It would be sweet if it was on ESPN or ABC.

This isn't directed at you but it always bothers me when people suggest injuries are more prevelant when you play FBS teams. Their players might be on average a little bit bigger and stronger athletes but I don't think playing one game a year against those teams are going to kill guys at our level.

The only player I can remember getting injured in the last 10 years for App against an FBS team was Jermaine Little against LSU and that was just a freak accident (broken leg) on a kick return. I believe that most of the guys on our level (especially the upper echelon teams in our division) could compete and start for most FBS squads.

A lot of recruits at our level either fall through the cracks, develop late, or just want the opportunity to start right away rather than riding the pine for 3 years and hopefully be able to start by their senior season.

Contrary to many peoples' beliefs, we had several players injured in the Michigan game. Some were bothered all season long from that encounter. KR played with fractured ribs for several games.
It was total misinfo that Armanti's most prominent, most troubling injury was suffered mainly in the Fan Fest scrimmage game from the takle while wearing the redshirt.
It was mid-season before we were back to near full strength and still had line positions filled by back-ups.

The NCSU game, the LSU game, Hawaii, et al all yielded significant injuries. We play lots of opponents on our level when we come off without noticeable injuries, but seldom face the big hogs and horses without some.
Injuries can happen in any game, but when you're outmanned 30-50 or more pounds, they're almost inevitible.
Think of it like this, Jerbear..how often do we get serious injuries vs the Mars Hill types or the L-R's on our schedule but how many of them do we see limping/carried off when we play them.

Very unlikely Appalachian State is going to win. I know that was also the case prior to the Michigan game, but unlikely things do happen.

During App State's current 3 year I-AA/FCS championships run, the Moutaineers have gone 1-3 against BCS league teams. The average outcome has been the I-AA/FCS champ losing by 16 points.

That's actually not bad. It's certainly better than most who don't follow FCS would expect. But let's not get carried away.

[Appaholic69]

Actually, let's allow the facts to speak for themselves. In the 2005 football season, APP's first championship season, we faced LSU. Now while we didn't score, we were able to hold LSU to only 24 points. Only one other non-ranked team was able to hold them to less, and that was Arkansas. Remember this was also accomplished with Richie Williams who isn't as mobile as Armanti.

So in the debate of who "CAN" win. Remember we have been there before, but now we "KNOW" it can be done.

We are not trying to get carried away. I think, as fans, we cannot be faulted for being blinded by that and thinking that we will and expecting to win. Does that mean we will? No. Will I be upset if we don't? Yes. I am upset everytime my team loses, expected or not. I was taught at an early age as a player, always expect to win, if not, why play? Was I disapointed a lot? Yes. It should only make sense that we, as fans, expect to win. I bet our players do. At least I hope so.

[SoCon48]

When it comes to the David-Goliath match-ups, wanting a win, not showing surprise with a win, hoping for a win, cheering for a winning effort, appreciating leaving it all on the field is one good concept.
Blaming the players and staff for not fulfilling our predictions is a diff story.

Is that a reason to lock a thread? Who are you guys opening with? We can talk about that one too. And I'm not trying to be a smarty. Start a thread. We're just pretty darn excited about the game that's all.

And JSO, I agree with your assessment. Sorry I didn't catch your drift. I don't expect to tear them apart, would love to, but definately don't expect it. And I'm not really sure I expect to win but I will root that way and I fully expect that our players expect to win and will prepare to. After Michigan there is no such thing as preparing to make a good showing. I know many of you think I'm an idiot for thinking this way, but so be it. I would expect you guys to have the same attitude if it were you.

What I'm talking about when I say "carried away" is the comment "when ASU takes LSU apart in Baton Rouge." That's a bit much.

I have conflicted interest in this game. While not particularly an LSU fan by any stretch, I have found myself pulling for LSU during their surge to the top of college football in recent years because they represent what the state of Louisiana produces in high school football. I know LSU has become something of a national program (not to the extent of, say, a Notre Dame) but still the backbone of what they do are Louisiana kids like Dorsey, Doucet, Hester, etc. When I see LSU play, in a way, it's Louisiana's high school football and Louisiana's ability to develop players that's on trial.

So while I'd like to see an FCS pull off another shocker, I think I'd rather see LSU assertively say, "hey, there's a difference between the best of the midwest and the best of Louisiana — the best football state in the country..."

[RadMann]

Is that a reason to lock a thread? Who are you guys opening with? We can talk about that one too. And I'm not trying to be a smarty. Start a thread. We're just pretty darn excited about the game that's all.

And JSO, I agree with your assessment. Sorry I didn't catch your drift. I don't expect to tear them apart, would love to, but definately don't expect it. And I'm not really sure I expect to win but I will root that way and I fully expect that our players expect to win and will prepare to. After Michigan there is no such thing as preparing to make a good showing. I know many of you think I'm an idiot for thinking this way, but so be it. I would expect you guys to have the same attitude if it were you.

The Terps is UD's opening game opponent.

[JohnStOnge]

I have conflicted interest in this game.

Well...I live in the Baton Rouge metro area and both my kids will be students at LSU. This is one case where I'm going to be pulling for the FBS team.

I think what I'd like is pretty much what happened last time. LSU won by a comfortable margin and the outcome was never really in doubt but App State played respectably...more respectably than most non BCS non conference opponents do at Baton Rouge.

I always root for the underdog when it comes to games I have no vested interest in. However, this game wont be close.

[ericsaid]

I personally think UD should be more excited at the fact of playing Furman. App single handedly took down the CAA in the post season last year. I would think UD would want a little respect back from their championship game performance since this is another SoCon team.

LSU-35 ASU-24 I don't know how Maryland will be next year so i'll say Maryland wins by 10. As for McNeese and UNC, i'll say UNC by 14+

You MIGHT very well be right. If you take everything into consideration it should not be close. (Scholarships, Financial Backing, Talent of recruits, Level at which both teams compete, Home Field and so on down the Line).xrulesx xrulesx xrulesx

Your LSU score looks about right (LSU that is) but I doubt ASU puts up 24 on them. I would consider a 14 pt loss at NC a good showing. The problem with these games is they can get away from the FCS team in a hurry when things start happening (usually late in the game when fatigue is taking its toll and the scholarship advantage comes into play.)

I hope you are right. With that being said I don't think it will be that close. McNeese State is finally playing some competition. Their schedule last year was pitiful. They played "the sisters of the poor" all year and ended up a seeded team in the playoffs. Give me a break! I had EWU wearing them out in the 1st round and they did. MS didn't play a ranked team all year and it caught up with them in the first round.

UNC has had some great recruiting classes with the new coach and he has something to prove.

UNC would NOT consider playing App ST. xeyebrowx xeyebrowx

Stong? Maybe, maybe not. But decent FBS teams...for a long time. Like all the way back to 1971.
Auburn..came within a dropped pass of beating them and had the lead until last 58 seconds. Not exactly the chin on the chin. But a loss.
Played Wake 21 times starting the year fresh out of NAIA. Won a third of them..all at Wake with ACC refs.
Played North Carolina State close several times.
Clemson.several times
University of South Carolina when they were bowl bound in the days when there were real bowls, not pizza and tire bowls. Beat them in front of 80K fans.
Virginia Tech.
ECU
Hawaii
Wyoming
LSU

You can't make excuses for your qb being an idiot and getting kicked off the team. I don't care if their entire team is hurt I won't listen to their excuses just like they won't listen to ours. "A win is a win is a win" VL

[Touchdown Yosef]

The question is though where does Perillioux end up?

GSU? I think it will be very interesting to see how this whole thing plays out. Schools will take a chance on this kid.

[SoCon48]

I was hoping Perrilloux would play. No excuses from LSU if the game is close or, BCS forbid, App pulls out the upset.

Hatch or Lee will do OK. They had all spring to get all the reps while Perilloux was suspended, put up points in the Spring game in front of 35K+ fans and have all Fall practice to get ready.

They have no valid excuses. I'm just wanting to see their running backs lay the ball down for us a couple times. One of them had trouble hanging on to the pig in the spring game.

But we already know who'll be the best QB on the field that night.

[Appinator]

Right now, from my point of view, we can expect to see the next Matt Flynn, instead of the next JaMarcus Russell.

Flynn did OK if everyone can remember, and I don't think they will be hurting for talent at all.

If no, then you are pretty much degrading the entire division into some step-child role where there is just "no chance" for any of us to compete with upper-echelon institutions. If yes, then talk about that.

BTW, If you don't mind pick on me if you want,I don't care.--Just to let you know I just happen to know someone who goes to College there.I did not attend Dayton,I'm just a fan because of a friend.

xlolx xlolx xlolx Don't try to compare apples to oranges,Dayton is a NON Scolly football School and has very little chance against (very few) full scolly teams,even though we beat UAlbany and Fordham last year. Yes I would think LSU would beat Dayton,pretty badly.
Other than trying to compare Dayton to LSU, competition wise,Your post is pure redirect.and your trying to put words in my mouth.I'm talking ASU/LSU game only.I have No interest in other FCS or any other (upper-echelon) institutions you refer to.;) Unless I have money on them.xoopsx


The funny thing is, he was comparing how badly App would get beat by LSU, and then how bad Dayton would, which intern is comparing App and UD so it isn't redirect and maybe app will schedule dayton next year? then dayton can experience the rath of armanti edwards.xrulesx

Could you attach a score or margin to: ,----In this case I THINK LSU will beat ASU to a pulp.

If 14-0 at the end of the 3rd quarter or 24-0 final is beating to a pulp, then maybe so. That's the way it was last time ASU visited the Bayou, ya know.

That seems to be a realistic score,or maybe something like 38-7 LSU

[GGASU]

I had predicted ASU 34-27.

Now that LSU has suspended RP, I don't see the Tigers keeping it within single digits.

The two schools will meet on the football field on Aug. 30 and play a game. Probably the best team will win. The best team should win. The team with the most scholarships, bigger players, home field, and many, many, more advantages should win the game. So quit trying to justify why LSU will win the game.

I would hope that is a joke OB. I can't speak for the coaches but it would be my assumption that we wouldn't even look at this kid based on his record. Second we really don't have the need for him. We've got a great QB and I don't see him wanting to go to one of the few FCS schools that he wouldn't be the obvious number 1 qb the second he set foot on campus.

I am still interested to see where he ends up I just serously doubt it will be at Appalachian.

He had better keep dreaming if he thinks he's coming to App St. I dont think Jerry Moore would consider him for 1 second. The kid from UT had less baggage and it's still up in the air as to whether or not he's oing to be playing.

Read these schools off the D-II board, can't find any article that speaks of his preferences. It would be quite silly for him to expect to come to Appy and play much this year. I really do not know how many years eligibility he would have left.

[AppAlum2003]

On Saturday afternoon, I was watching ESPNEWS and I believe it was Joe Schad (I could be wrong) that said RP was considering 3 or 4 FCS schools. He said that App St was one of RP's choices, but "that's not going to happen. They've already got a good QB."

Edit: The video is on the main CFB page - http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/index - he also mentions Alabama St and Delaware.

Agreed, I think he'll be at a school that desperatly needs a qb. Lucky for them they will et a great talent, but is it worth the head ache.

Hopefully he has learned his lesson, I wish the guy the best,but not sure given his history.

Interesting article. Actually kind of shows a little respect for Appalachian State by mentioning that game along with Auburn as potentially problematic without Perrilloux.

At the same time, while they quote former LSU OC Jimbo Fisher as opining that losing Perrilloux might've cost LSU another run at the BCS title, they also reveal his opinion that they're going to be very strong on the line of scrimmage. He said it'll be their best offensive line ever and that the defensive line could be better than last year's (see from about the middle of page 2 through the first half of page 3).

His take was that if they can get good play out of their new cornerbacks and whoever their new quarterback is they can make another run.

The description....LSU really good on the offensive line and really loaded at running back while being inexperienced at quarterback...makes me think Appalachian State should expect a smash mouth strategy.

I think you're right John. They will most likely run it right at us. That's what I'd do. I'm sure we'll prepare as best as we can for just that. I hope we can put the preparation to practice come August 30. It's definitely going to be a tough one and the game plan you predict could possibly help keep it close, although the running game that LSU could be capable of could be very explosive too. Looking forward to a great game as long as UDChuck lays off conjuring up the blowout demons. Chuck, I know you've got money, avatars, etc. running on it so I don't blame you for going for the blowout.xpeacex

Don't they run a from of the spread? they'll run it around us, everyone including app has trouble stopping the spread offense when it's used to run the ball as witnessed last year by every SoCon team. They will run the ball from the spread and I see a lot of options and such.

I'm quite sure you'll see more running from an I formation, to get a lead blocker for their backs. With a new QB you won't see too much option.

I learned a very important thing from Jim Herrmann of Michigan. When you are sitting in your office or at a clinic writing down your players, quit putting them down in positions. I use X’s. When I draw up a defense, I use eleven X’s. The first thing you do when you put a player down as a nose guard is build in limitations for that player. You will think he can’t do what you want him to do because he is a nose guard. Put your players in your scheme as X’s, and figure out a way to stop the offense that you have to stop.

I was intrigued until I got to....... :D

Hey,would I do that to you??No way.

[ericsaid]

I'd agree with you if I knew more about LSU, but I still think there will be more option.

[JohnStOnge]

I'd agree with you if I knew more about LSU, but I still think there will be more option.

The guy who is probably going to be at QB is listed as a "pocket-passing quarterback" on LSU's site (see http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=27812&SPID=2164&DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=785346&Q_SEASON=2008 ). Rivals listed him as a "pro style" quarterback as a 2007 recruit (see http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?pr_key=44707&sport=1 ).

The Rivals site does put him at 4.68 in the 40 which isn't blazing but decent. However, it looks to me like his forte is throwing the football. The LSU bio says he played in the spread in high school as a junior but when he did he threw for over 3,400 yards and 40 touchdowns.

Heck, who knows? Maybe if their offensive line is as good as expected they'll see how he does throwing the football. Still, if I were LSU, I'd think the chances are pretty good that my offensive line could just lline up and overpower Appalachian State's defensive front. I'd think it could be a "you know what's coming but you can't stop it" situation. That's the attitude I'd come out with and App State would have to show me it could stop it before I'd get cute and get away from it.

LSU is better than ASU, end of question.

ASU however could easily have a few big plays and catch LSU off-guard. It happened last year, it could happen again. ASU has the athleticism to win.

[JohnStOnge]

I don't think relative athleticism is going to be the biggest difference. I think Michigan had better athletes overall than App State last year. App State had a better pure athlete at the QB position against Michigan and had what was probably the single fastest guy on the field in Jackson. But I think if you'd have compared every single position Michigan would've been found to be both bigger and faster overall.

The same will probably be true of LSU. And this year App State won't have the single fastest player on the field (though they'll still have a better pure athlete at quarterback).

But I think the biggest difference is that Michigan went into its game with App State thinking it was a rent a win...that the outcome was a foregone conclusion and the only question was how big of a blowout it would be...while LSU is going to hear about how App State beat Michigan every day for weeks leading up to the game.

Heck, it's clearly the biggest FCS/vs. FBS game going in. Probably the biggest FCS/IAA vs. FBS/IA game ever in terms of the circumstances surrounding it going in. There's no reason not to talk about it a lot.

Yeah, but really...if you just look at overall talent...I don't think it should've come down to field goal kicker. To be cliche...that's not meant as disrespect to App State because they had a very gutty and clutch performance. But Michigan had 6 players drafted this past NFL draft and I think that by the time the next few NFL drafts are over the number of players that played on that team who get drafted will be in the double digits somewhere. Both wide receivers, the quarterback, and the starting running back were drafted this past draft. That's not going to happen with App State. In fact if I had to I'd bet that the only one among the offensive skill position players App had on the field that day that'll be drafted was the wideout Jackson. I don't think Michigan lost because App State had better players overall.

[SideLine Shooter]

Amen!!!!!!!!!What's with the Michigan Avatar??xlolx

I use random photos that I shoot at games. I just like this shot of a Michigan fan from the ASU game. You can tell from his expression that this was pre-game. You will see other photos for my avatar from time to time. Whatever mood I'm in..xcoolx xcoolx xcoolx xcoolx

That's the attitude I'd come out with and App State would have to show me it could stop it before I'd get cute and get away from it.

We'll see, hopefully Tim Washington comes back because he was a blue chip recruit who transferred from LSU but left this spring for reasons i never heard. From what it sounded like no one was sure if he was leaving or coming back in the fall. But with another transfer at DE from vandy that helps. I think if LSU trys to over power App's front seven they may be suprised at how well it holds up, maybe i'm wrong(probably am) but I honestly think using the speed advantage and running around app's front four would be best.
