I sure hope LSU is better than the stats show

We're not

Correct me if I am wrong, but 11 am/noon kickoffs suck?

our offense typically looks good for 2 or 3 drives and we manage to get points out of those...so I would call it "opportunistic" (in addition to "shitty"). You will learn very quickly that we all hate our offensive coordinator and he is possibly out of a job after the bowl game. Our D is good but not great

The thing that won't show up in stats is how we are getting a ton of hidden yards by people not kicking off to Trindon, Trindon killing it on punt returns, and generally winning the field position battle when it matters. that has really helped us get to 9 wins, although people don't talk about it much

you need to borrow JoePa's coke bottles.

A short and casual search through some of our postings here will show you more than you care to know about frustrations with our offensive performances. We have talent and speed but have not met expectation in most games. The SEC does have defensive strength which contributed to our shortcomings; nevertheless, we clearly underperformed. Some blame the OC (a change is to be made), some blame the line, some say it is because of a young inexperienced qb (the one game he did not start added to your stats). To be sure, we are hurting from the loss of key running backs.

It is impossible to conclude how the competition from one conference measures up against another. Bowl games may give some indication. There are a lot of SEC teams bowl eligible. You may have noticed that the two ACC teams playing for conference championship tomorrow were beaten last week by mediocre teams in the SEC. Not sure exactly what that means given the relative weakness of the ACC.

LSU started the year with a new defensive coordinator. They have improved each week. We do not have the typical LSU massive line as in some years. Our linebackers have improved, but probably not the caliber of Penn State's reputation of lb's. Our safeties and db's will knock lights out.

I suppose you could conclude that statistically we may not have a chance. You will find out, however, that we have a "damn good team." We "have a want to win." We will "give ourselves the opportunity to win."

Good luck to the nitany lions.

I am sitting here looking through these statistics and I am wondering how you guys are 9-3?

---

How many top 25 teams did you play this year? 1

How many top 5 teams did you play this year? 0

What conference do you play in? The Big 10

It's easy to pad some stats when you play the likes of: Akron, Temple and Eastern Illinois.

Pack up your shite and come on down here. Bring some extra Depends for your coach.

My brother and I are looking through the statistics on Rivals.com, and I must say that LSU is rather poor in every category. I have not followed LSU much, but when I heard the matchup was versus you guys. my gut reaction was "uh oh".

That was until my brother said LSU is not very good anymore. I am sitting here looking through these statistics and I am wondering how you guys are 9-3?

I hope for a close contest, but I am thinking your offense won't be able to do much. Correct me if I am reading this wrong, but you guys have the 106th offense in the country???

dude:


you have played nobody... ohio state is overrated and akron, eastern illinois, and syracuse shouldnt even count. LSU is going to destroy Penn St just like miles does to every team LSU plays in a bowl every year. the Big 11 bleauxs, and I would worry about a whole lot more than what LSU is ranked on offense if I were u... Have a great day!! oo and

Understatement of the year. 300 yards and 20 points is a big offensive explosion for us. Against a defense with a pulse, our offense is worthless.

Only if we moved up with the performance against Arkansas.

I'm sorry, I must have dreamed Tebow and company losing to lowly Michigan two years ago. Or did I fail to mention that the mighty SEC and garbage Big 10 are dead even in recent history? LSU loses this one by at least 14. Write it down. Take a picture. Your coach can't even figure out how the clock works. Let him try to play offense against 29 blitz packages.

Didn't realize you guys beat Ole Miss. And Georgia? Really?
