LSU Bowl Overconfidence?

Will bite us in the arse this year, IMO.
After the quality of play I witnessed this season, I see no reason to be confident about soundly beating a very, very good team in PSU.
Not saying we won't win, but all this talk (from SOME of you) about blowing them out is not supported by evidence.

LSU will not blow PSU out. Will be close regardless of who wins. Neither team has the offense to truly blow someone out.

Not to mention it is virtually impossible for Miles to remain undefeated in bowl games. He is gonna lose one eventually...everyone does

Fan confidence is irrelevant. If you think the Tigers will lose, bet against them. Otherwise, keep your weakness and fear to yourself.

half the fans are overconfident about the bowl game, the other half thinks the program has collapsed to the depths of the abyss

I don't think the fans will decide the outcome of the game. Les has had his teams at LSU well prepared for the bowl games. I won't question that until proved otherwise.
Last year LSU was in worse shape going into the bowl imo with a 7-5 and a losing SEC record. Yet they were well prepared for the bowl game.

I think we heard this almost verbatim last year.

Hopefully, the team is confident, but not overconfident.
With regards to Miles' perfect bowl record at LSU, someone posted an interesting stat which I can't remember exactly, but it was something to the effect that LSU played really well in bowls played in New Orleans and in Georgia (Peach), but the recent bowl record in bowls played in Florida was not as good. Stats are merely stats and trends are merely trends and neither guarantee a loss or victory in the next game.
I do somewhat agree that some fans are now taking it for granted that LSU will automatically play well in every bowl game under Miles... I guess because an underperforming LSU team suddenly looked sharp against GT last year.

We will beat them handily. I know that all of you Miles haters want the Tigers to lose but it will not happen. We will when with style. And about this lack of "evidence", see last season. We were much worse and we embarrassed GT. The evidence: our roster v Penn's (we have far superior athletes on both sides of the ball and up and down the sidelines on the bench). Giving a bunch of future NFL draft picks a month of rest to prepare for a game gives LSU a strong advantage. LSU 38 Penn 17

agree with you. THe past 4 years have all been easy bowl games with the teams we had. I mean miami from the ACC vs our 2005 team even with no Russell, still ended just how it shouldve. In 06 we started the down fall of Notre Dame and Charlie Wise which still makes me laugh. Then in 2007, we were the best in the country and tOSU never had a chance unless the game was only 5 minutes long. And last year we went against a wierd scheme that was easy to scheme against with a month to prepare. This year we are no where near as dominant as we were in 05 06 and 07 and dotn have the luxury of going against some fancy option/ easy to plan again crap.
