Saturday Picks, Week 3

LSU @ Miss ST (Thursday Night)

This game will be dominated by a the bully defense of LSU. LSU's running attack will also find success because the Bulldogs struggled stopping the run against Auburn, giving up 235 yds on the ground. Ford & Ware should have good games. LSU 31-13

OK @ FSU

FSU is back! After consecutive #1 recruiting classes they are locked and loaded and ready to shoot. The only problem is they're aiming at the #1 school in the country, Oklahoma. OK beat-em by thirty last year and I don't think FSU has improved that much in a year. OK is just too explosive. OK 45-36

UT @ Florida

This rivalry is quickly fizzling. UF has won the last few games by double digits, and UT has to win more than six games in the last twenty years in order to consider this a rivalry. Let's face it, this is a regular game and Tennessee will lose. Gators 42-23

Mich St @ Notre Dame ****UPSET****

Michigan St is overrated and they'll be exposed in my upset pick of the week. A well known weak ND will get their 1st win of the season. This win should finally give Chip Kelly his 1st good night of sleep of the season. Irish 27-10

Navy @ South Carolina

The Midshipmen have started out fast, having the #1 rudshing offenese in the country. They will come out and give SC a serious challenge. However Kenny Lattimore, Garcia, Jeffries and SC's athletic secondary will prove to athletic for Navy. Gamecocks 38-23

Ohio St @ Miami

2 storied program, 2 storied traditions.....lineup in what will be one of the worst games in their history. Both programs had tumultuous off-seasons and Miami still has players that haven't yet been reinstated. Ohio St is still more talented and they'll win. Buckeyes 23-13

Arizona@ Stanford

Arizona students will once again be looking forward to bball season, because their football will struggle. Andrew Luck will continue on his heisman campaign as he torches Zona. Stanford 51-20
