Same story every year: "You guys aren't giving X opponent enough credit."

We've seen this same nonsense every single year for the past few years with LSU opening against a quality out of conference opponent: TCU, Washington, Oregon, UNC, Washington. "Hey, let's not be so confident, this is a good team, so and so is a Heisman candidate, blah blah blah." And what usually happens? We win easily.
Remember the talk surrounding the Oregon game? Not many people even gave us a chance of winning that game. We came out and dominated.
I see this game going pretty big in our favor. Les gets the team ready for early season OOC games, and this will be no different. Expect a big LSU win with the score, once again, making the game look closer than it actually was:
34-24

I hat ebbing overconfident, but i think the Big !) is historically down right now. This team doesn't play anyone year in and year out.

Melvin Gordon is being talked about a lot like Lamicheal James was.

"TCU, Washington, Oregon, UNC, Washington."
How many of these games do you recall being "easy" wins?

I wouldn't say we won any of those games easily. They were all closer than they should have been because of stupid mistakes and first game mental errors.
This game will prob be closer than it should too.

Do you even watch the games? Yea we smoked Oregon.. but a few of these came down to the 4th quarter. Hell, UNC came down to goal line stops on the last play of the game.

There will be an exception one of these years.. I keep trying to imagine how bad it will feel to lose to UW and then have to go through 3 weeks of cupcakes before we can finally try and reprove ourselves. Let's just say I really hope we win this weekend

I hated how we were cheated against TCU last year. Two obvious PI in the EZ that weren't called, would have gave us 14 more points in the early going.
Score should have read 51-27 or 43-27 at the least.
Same thing with UNC. This time, we get a BS holding penalty in the early fourth that negated a 20 something yard TD by Ridley.
Score should have been 37-24.

UNC and Washington were easy wins?

We won 2/5 of the games you listed "easily".
UNC, Washington, and TCU were all inferior opponents from a talent perspective, and yet they were all fairly close games in the 4th quarter.

Wtf are you talking about. First off, you typed Washington twice. Secondly, we pulled ahead late vs Oregon, almost lost to UNC (one play away), pulled away late against a QB-less TCU...etc. No one shoukd take any opponents likely. Dont be an overly-aggressive, hubris-addled fool.

The first Udub game, TCU and UNC weren't easy wins.

Tell it to Vegas. LSU has gone from a 4 pt fav to a 5 point dog in two wks. Wisc must be putting their money where their mouths are.

Uh, not the UNC game- I was there- we almost gave it away

2011 LSU and Bama were once in a decade type teams. LSU was very close to blowing it against UNC. UNC had Robert Quinn suspended too. I hope to be pleasantly surprised, but this won't be a cakewalk.

I hope you are right!

quality out of conference opponents?
tcu had 4 wins last year
UNC was 4-4 in the ACC in 2010
Washington was 5-7 in 2009
those teams were not quality my friend

Their offensive line is legit and their 3-4 defense will give us problems
This game will not be an easy LSU win

Agreed and it's not limited to the opener or OOC. Most LSU fans hate their lives and come here to share the hate and worry on a great football program
