Way too early as we have not had practice nor injuries when fall practice is over then look at how they will differ because as it is every year there is a team that has that best player hurt before the first game and all goes to hell...I will wait till then

Mr. slovog, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
We were +17 1/2 against UF in 2001 & +18 at USC in 1981. Those are the largest underdog spreads we have ever faced. The +27 line is a record.
We were double digit underdogs in the following games under PF:
@ UF 2001 +17 1.2 (Covered & Won Outright)
@ Miami 2003 +12 (Covered & Won Outright)
@UGA 2004 +11 (Covered & Won Outright)
Auburn SECCG 2004 +10 1/2 (Covered)
@ Georgia 2008 + 12 1/2 (Covered).
We have not failed to cover as a double digit underdog since before Fulmer as I can remember.
Hate to be the one to burst your bubble but that was Norm Chow's offense that he installed at USC. Lane simply picked up where he left off he didn't create anything. Also I would not be too proud of recruiting Reggie Bush it seems like there may have been some violations that went along with him.
