Scout.com: 2009 Pac 10 Fearless Picks, Week 1, Part 2 "LSU (0-0) at Washington (0-0) , 10:30 pm ET, ESPN Why To Watch: ...Neither Rome nor Seattle was built in a day, but it does help getting QB Jake Locker back from the IR. The Tigers, too, are trying to rebound from a disappointing season. Of course, in Baton Rouge, that meant an 8-5 campaign and a 38-3 bowl rout of Georgia Tech. Why LSU Might Win: As always, the Tigers have a plethora of speed and stars at the skill positions. And against a leaky Washington D, they’re likely to shine even brighter. RB Charles Scott and WR Brandon LaFell, especially, are prominent NFL prospects and contenders for all kinds of postseason awards. The 233-pound Scott will enjoy holes bigger than his thighs, as the massive LSU offensive line treats the Huskies like rag dolls. While Washington has a nice set of linebackers and all-star DE Daniel Te’o-Nesheim, it lacks the inside pillars to anchor the line against quality opponents. Why Washington Might Win: Getting back Locker is impossible to quantify for Washington. The physical and emotional pulse of this program, he gives the Huskies a chance to do the improbable. He’s also surrounded by a talented group of untapped skill position players, like RB Chris Polk and receivers D’Andre Goodwin and Jermaine Kearse, who should blossom with the help of a better triggerman. They’ll be facing an LSU defense that isn’t as nasty or impenetrable as in recent years. The Tigers sprung countless leaks during the regular season, prompting Les Miles to hire former Tennessee coordinator John Chavis. Players To Watch: ...Rahim Alem, a reserve with a starter’s resume, who racked up a team-high eight sacks. Locker will need all of his quickness and escapability to avoid the pursuit of No. 84. What Will Happen: Washington will score first. LSU will score often. ... CFN Prediction: LSU 35 ... Washington 17 Line: LSU -17 Must See Rating: (Mad Men 5 ... NYC Prep 1) .... 3...

I gotta agree, if we as much as punt in the first 3 quarters I will be dissapointed. I know its the first game and miles away, but last season sucked I am hoping to see utter LSU domination. Sure its unreasonable and stupid but hey I am not on the team. What do I matter.
