Hatchertiger Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 3 point underdog according to this site: Quote Week 1: LSU (-3) at UCLA The SEC will go on the road to take on the Pac-12 in this LSU-UCLA west coast matchup. That line may seem a little low, but it shouldn’t. LSU should bounce back from a rough 5-5 campaign last season, but things are trending in the right direction for Chip Kelly and company. The Bruins’ offense is returning nine starters while the defense is returning 10. That experience should help them. Plus, they’ll have a tune up game against Hawaii on Aug. 28 before they welcome the Tigers to Pasadena. UCLA has its quarterback situation figured out with Dorian Thompson-Robinson, while LSU doesn’t. That could also have an impact here. https://www.outkick.com/some-of-fanduel-opening-betting-lines-for-college-football-might-seem-interesting/ I was in Dallas in 2011when we last faced a Chip Kelly coached team , I'm hoping for the same result.

LSU minus 3 points is considered equal to UCLA, means LSU is a 3 point favorite. I've never bet on any sports game (I always logon to Fidelity.com to do my gambling), but last time I tried to figure it out, that's what I came up with. I wonder expect we will see fewer busted coverage in the secondary since their will not be a CB coach and a safety coach. Ricks is not a freshman, and Stingley is quality when he is on, and that's a good start. D-line has quality and depth. LB will be a question mark. We should be able to find a pair of safeties, the transfer of Major Burns to LSU gives us a guy with some SEC experience. I don't know the UCLA players, but I'm going to guess based on our recruiting class finishes we have them out-talented. LSU goes in with many question marks based on last year's play. O-line needs improvement, RB needs improvement, we need improved QB play, and we have questions in the receiver corp (except Boutte, he's proven). If those question marks turn out to be erased and the players and coaches turn out to deliver the improvement we hope they will, I think the potential is there for a much bigger win, maybe a margin like 21 points in our favor. The odds makers may be looking in the rear view mirror, and not looking ahead. Or, I could be looking through purple and gold glasses. So many people have so much to prove that I have a positive feeling that most of them will deliver the improvement. Nobody should have a swelled head on that team. A couple of times I have heard O talk on the internet, I think he diagnosed some of the "lack of team" issues and he is working hard to fix it. He indoctrinated the incoming coaches and they have put in place specific steps to stay on top of it. It's unfortunate that O let it slip up on him without realizing it last year, but it sounds like he learns from his mistakes, pretty quickly. I'm pretty excited about the season coming up, but I won't smell the football in the air until June 1.

They will already have a game under their belt and have good amount of experience returning. We have 2 new coordinators and some question marks.

To be fair, we're playing McNeese, ULM, and Central Michigan. Those programs might only be slightly qualitatively better than Tulane.

LSUDad Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 An LSU spokesman said the team has sold 12,000 tickets for the UCLA game on Sept. 4 at the Rose Bowl and the total number of LSU fans expected is around 20,000 per Los Angeles Times. The Bruins on the other hand seem to be working hard to generate a home crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houtiger Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I watched part of the UCLA - Hawaii game, I was not impressed with UCLA. Hawaii is not a good team so it is hard to say very much. Chip Kelly does not have a good record in three seasons at UCLA, 3-9, 4-8, 3-4. In his defense, he took over a poor program. Today they said when Kelly took over at UCLA, he only had 57 scholarship players. He took 9 transfers since January and he now has 85 on scholarship. I was not impressed with the Bruins QB. His first two passes were off target. They started a guy named Charbonnet at RB, he transferred from Michigan. He looked good, but that Hawaii defense could not tackle. I still like the good guys in this game, and if we find a second and third receiver, the game may not be that close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
