This is GREAT news! The boy has a game at 4:30 tomorrow, which would have conflicted with the original start time of the LSU game (5PM EST). This is due to the potential threat of Gustav. We're hoping and praying for the best, but a great way to kick off the season...early!

Hang in there with that Hurricane bearing down on you. Wish you and all the good people in that region the best.

Geaux Tigers!

LSU 41 Appalachian St. 13.
And it wasn't as close indicated. I think it was the first play from scrimmage and LSU quarterback handed the ball to Scott. He went through the line like a hot knife through warm butter and ran for 56 yards before anyone caught up with him. Scott had 160 yards on 16 carries and two TDs.

The game did show that LSU's weakness this year is quarterback. The guy from Harvard did okay. Hatch was 7 of 14 passing for 77 yards and had 43 yards rushing. He didn't make any mistakes. The other QB was 6 of 10 for two TDs (both over 30 yards I think) but also threw an interception which lead to a field goal.

Appalachian States stud QB was 13 of 31 for 155 yards and one TD but he nearly lost his head twice in the first half. Literally. Twice he got hit so hard that he went one way and his helmet went the other. That's what happens when LSU defensive line outweighs the offensive line an average of 60 lbs. per man.
