7STAR SELECTION (5% of Bankroll)
Virginia Tech +18 over USC
The 2004 NCAA Football season kicks off Saturday night at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland as Virginia Tech takes on Co-National Champion and preseason #1 USC in the BCA Classic. Last year, Frank Beamer's squad got off to a fast start once again, as the team won six straight games and looked like a national title contender. Unfortunately for Hokie fans, Tech finished with an 8-5 record, including a 52-49 shootout loss to California in the Insight Bowl. This season will be the first for the Hokies as members of the ACC, as they made an off-season exit from the Big East. For the Trojans last year, head coach Pete Carroll guided his team to a 12-1 finish and a Pac-10 title. USC won its last nine games of the campaign, including an impressive 28-14 win against a very good Michigan squad in the Rose Bowl, and the only thing holding Carroll's team back from a perfect season and the undisputed 2003 National Championship was a triple-overtime setback at Cal. After sharing the crown with LSU, the Trojans are one of the clear favorites to win the 2004 title with a wealth of talent returning on both sides of the ball. This game marks the first-ever meeting between Virginia Tech and USC on the gridiron, and it should be a much closer game than advertised.
Virginia Tech averaged an impressive 35 points per game last year on just over 400 yards of total offense per outing. A major reason for that was the production of Kevin Jones, one of the nation's top tailbacks. Jones has moved on to the NFL and will certainly be missed. Junior Cedric Humes takes over the rushing duties, and should have an outstanding season, although he’s not quite the talent that Jones is. Humes averaged a nifty 5.8 ypc a year ago and scored five touchdowns on just 65 carries. He was injured in the spring, but is healthy and excited to prove what he can do. The quarterback controversy that was supposed to take shape this season between Bryan Randall and Marcus Vick has become a moot point, now that Vick has been suspended for the season following off-the-field problems. Although Randall was handed the job without a fight, there is a good chance he would be starting this game even if Vick were available. Randall completed over 60 percent of his passes last season for nearly 2,000 yards and 15 TDs. He also rushed for over 400 yards, so he is a double threat. The offensive line returns three of five starters and will certainly be tested by Southern Cal’s defense.
The Trojan “D” was dominant against the run in 2003, holding opponents to just 60 ypg which was tops in the nation. The squad did surrender 276 ypg through the air, which was 110th in the country, although many of those yards came when teams were far behind trying to catch up. The defense is once again built around an imposing front line and a group of superb linebackers.
Two years ago Carson Palmer threw for nearly 4,000 yards and 33 touchdowns as a senior at USC and won the Heisman Trophy before being taken first overall in the ensuing NFL Draft. Matt Leinart had plenty to prove as Palmer's replacement last year, and he far exceeded everyone's expectations by throwing for over 3,500 yards and 38 scores. His top target from a year ago, standout receiver Mike Williams, attempted to make the jump to the NFL this past offseason but after a court decision blocked his path, he was left without a team. Williams petitioned the NCAA to have his eligibility reinstated, but it was denied just an hour before the team was scheduled to leave for Maryland. The running back position has a lot of talent led by Reggie Bush and LenDale White. The offensive line is the big question mark for USC, as they return just one starter. They have the talent to be one of the best units in the nation, but it won’t happen overnight.
The Tech defense has earned the reputation of being one of the nation's top units over the past few years. The squad surrendered 23 ppg and over 367 yards per game a year ago, falling far short of expectations. The unit does return six starters from last year and that should give the team a bit of consistency.
The Hokies have lost all six of its previous meetings with the nation's top-ranked team, and that record will more than likely be 0-7 SU after this matchup; however, VaTech coach Beamer will have his Hokies ready to play and we expect them to give the Trojans quite a tussle due to a number of factors. While a number of key players, including Leinart, return for USC, several off-the-field situations deprived them of some of its core personnel. Awaiting word on whether Williams would be reinstated turned out to be a huge distraction, especially with the NCAA not informing the team of its decision until 60 minutes before they departed for this game. All-American defensive end Kenechi Udeze passed up his senior season to enter the NFL draft, and wide receiver Whitney Lewis and tailback Chauncey Washington, who were expected to add depth, aren't eligible because of academics. Tight end Gregg Guenther is concentrating on basketball and backup Dominique Byrd is out with a leg injury. Winston Justice, a two-year starter at offensive tackle, won't play because he was suspended from school for two quarters for allegedly pulling a pellet gun last February on a fellow student. "You began to wonder what was going to happen next," Leinart said. Most recently, police confirmed that at least one USC player, Hershel Dennis, is under investigation for sexual assault. Dennis, expected to be another star in the crowded backfield, has been suspended indefinitely.
Don’t expect the Hokies to come out tight and flat, especially in DC, where they will enjoy a decided home-field edge. At least three-quarters of the 90,000+ in attendance will be cheering the underdogs on. Tech is not capable of shutting USC completely down, but with varied nickel and dime coverage/blitz packages, they should be able to disrupt Leinart’s timing. The key will be how well USC’s offensive line can keep Leinart from throwing off of his wallet. The Trojans USC will discover — perhaps it is already catching the drift — that winning a national title is one thing, defending it quite another.
Beamer’s boys have always been fast starters, as demonstrated by Virginia Tech’s 29-2 SU record in games played before November 1st. Of course his team is absolutely pumped for this game and will give SC their “A” game. QB Randall pretty much sums up the team’s attitude: "Playing a No. 1 team on national television … that's like a national championship game," he says. "That kind of opportunity doesn't come along very often." Beamer added, "I think we're probably as ready as we can be."
USC may well end up playing for the National Championship in January, but this team won’t simply pick up right where they left off last season. In each of Carroll’s years here, his teams have really hit their stride by the time the conference schedule comes along, and that will likely be the case this season, especially with such an inexperienced O-line. The Trojans were 1-3 ATS to start 2001, 2-4 ATS to start 2002, and 2-2 ATS in 2003 before dominating every team in sight. That creates a nice dichotomy strongly favoring the Hokies, as they are tremendously fast starters, 24-9 ATS in the first 5 games of the season since 1996. They have been a double-digit underdog only twice in the past 9 seasons, and covered the spread both times in close losses to Miami, FL in 2001 and 2002. The Hokies should be able to keep this one as well, coming up short of pulling off a SU shocker, but well within covering the hefty pointspread.

7STAR SELECTION (5% of Bankroll)
CAROLINA -2 over New England
A rematch of Super Bowl XXXVIII is on tap Saturday night, as the New England Patriots visit the Carolina Panthers in the third preseason tune-up for each team. The Patriots, who prevailed in the Feb. 1 Super Bowl by a 32-29 count, will be seeking a strong performance after they were routed, 31-3, by Cincinnati last Saturday. The Panthers, meanwhile, will try to maintain their flawless preseason mark. Jon Fox's team defeated the New York Giants, 27-20, in their most recent outing last Thursday, running their record to 2-0.
New England didn’t do much of anything well against the Bengals. They had trouble getting its running game established, despite the much-publicized offseason addition of Corey Dillon, who had 11 carries for 31 yards with the first-team offense. QB Tom Brady was 8-13 passing for 126 yards and an interception before giving way to backup Rohan Davey, who completed just 10 of 24 passes for 86 yards and a pick. Bill Belichick will look for renewed effort from its defense, which yielded 155 yards on the ground and gave up three touchdown passes to Cincinnati quarterback Carson Palmer.
Meanwhile, Carolina once again looked sharp in its last outing, with starting quarterback Jake Delhomme and the first-team offense leading the charge. Running back Stephen Davis should see extended action here, and will be backed up by the talented DeShaun Foster. Look for the Panthers to try to establish the run against a Pats defense that has been leaky against good rush attacks. Overall, the Pats have allowed 4.5 yards a carry in the preseason.
It has been a tough, full week of practicing in pads for the Patriots, and if they were playing any other team, we’d expect a huge rebound from this well-coached, proud group. It just so happens they will be playing the team they beat for the Lombardi Trophy. This Panthers team is on a mission, has had a very good, focused camp, and can’t wait to play New England again, even if it is “just a preseason game”. "It's going to be Super Bowl 2, Round 2," safety Mike Minter said. "We're going to be jacked. I can tell you that right now." "If you think this is just a preseason game, you're mistaken," added defensive lineman Brentson Buckner. "It's going to be a war. They've got the Lombardi Trophy. You want to be able to play against the best in the preseason because then you find out where you stack up." Said WR Steve Smith, "Some people are going to have to bring their lunch pails. It's going to be a construction zone."
We’d prefer the Panthers weren’t catching New England off such an ugly loss last week, but we still believe they will match and exceed the Pats motivation, and we see some other advantages for Carolina, as well. Expect their starters to go about three full quarters against New England. New England is not likely to stay with their first teamers quite that long. While Bill Belichick has complained quite a bit about his team’s practices, Carolina’s John Fox couldn’t be more pleased with his crew. "We've had a great work ethic…We've had great concentration and effort in practice. This week is our next test to see if we've improved from the earlier two weeks. Where we stand right now, I've been pleased with the way our camp has gone, no question."
The game may well be decided late by the back-ups if New England hangs tough; however, Carolina will clearly have the better QB rotation. Following Brady, New England will again use Rohan Davey, who has not played well this preseason. After saving a dismal performance against Philadelphia, he played even worse against the Bengals. The Panthers are blessed with 3 quality QBs and should be in good hands the whole way.
In looking at some numbers, playing on Week 3 teams off a home SU & ATS win last time out and another SU & ATS win before that, has won more than 67% of the time over the past several preseasons, as has playing on home teams with more than 8 days rest vs. opponents off exactly 7 days of rest. Carolina has covered the spread in 7 of their last 8 practice games, and they are a perfect 7-0 ATS off consecutive ATS wins. The Carolina crowd could also be a factor, as they will be maniacal here, urging their Panthers on to a SU & ATS revenge win over New England.
