LSU is 10-0. It wasn't a pretty win, but the theme of the day was merely survival, so I'll certainly take it. It's not about pretty. It's about winning.



This is a quote from AndTheValleyShook.com. I am not using the comment to describe the Bama and WKU games, but I think it may sum up how we play against the Final Three teams on our schedule.


One thing Miles cannot be guilty of is making his teams play tight. In college football, one axiom can be said, "the team takes the personality of the coach." Well in this case, LSU is loose.


But:
The specter of huge implications can hang over this team's players. And playing 'not to lose' is dangerous......(oops, La Tech just scored another TD against Ole Miss so now I am worried about just UGA and Arky)




Anyone here agree that we can certainly put away Arky in a hard fought game, but we will play a little tight due to expectations and weight on players...not coaching.







Again, the Bama game wasn't tightness, it was a the beast team we will see. WKU first half was a hangover, and well deserved.


Can we return to that swagger and domination that we had against ORE and WVU, in our last three games?

I don't think Ole Piss can play 4 Quarters against us even if we sleepwalk. They played 3 good Quarters against Arkansas, and since then, I think that team has completely given up. Meanwhile, Arkansas has marked the calender for when they play us, they know how BIG that game is...at the same time, if we can't be as up for the Arky game as they are, then we don't deserve to be #1. I don't think we will 'overlook' Ole Piss, (well, maybe a little) but I would hope that our starters are resting by the 4th Quarter, and calling for the Hogs at that point.
