re: If LSU Can Simply Sustain Drives...

He has grown up a lot since then.

Completely agree. Think about it from his perspective.

He comes in against Mississippi State with LSUs balloon completely deflated. Drives down scores. Pressure increases. Drives down scores. Gets ball with a minute left. Drives down and throws into end zone to win the game. There was certain pressure there and he thrived.

He comes in against NMSU and LSU looks like a grease fire after having lost the previous week to MSU. LSU has committed 4 turnovers already and offense looks horrible.

He leads the team on 7 straight touchdown drives and makes it look easy. He was under pressure when he came in then as well.

This will be a different and new kind of pressure, but his snaps against Wisky were the first he had taken since high school when it counts.

A lot has changed since then.

If he is 15-23 for 200 yards and rushes for another 25-30, it will open up the run game, keep Auburn off the field and result in LSU winning the game.

Sustained drives is the key. Limit or eliminate 3 and outs.
