If you compare the MSU game with this past weekends game in the Swamp you can see how much better LSU has gotten over the past few weeks. The linebackers played much more disciplined and the defensive line did a better job of controlling the line of scrimmage. Offensively LF is beginning to hit his stride and Jennings made some clutch throws down the stretch. Obviously UF is not as well coached as MSU, but they are closer in talent than most people realize. LSU is a young football team that is growing up before our eyes and I would look for more improvement this week against Kentucky.

We are definitely improving, but I wouldn't say its major improvement. We need to temper our expectations.

I am very happy about the win at Florida, but I did not see a whole lot of improvement. Florida is REALLY bad. We looked amazing versus Sam Houston St., too. The opponent has a lot to do with it.

Auburn completely destroyed LSU just 9 days ago.

I don't see that much improvement. I think it's just the competition. Miss St. would still beat our arse and so would Auburn.

Yeah, it couldn't have anything to do with playing the #1 team in the nation vs playing the dumpster fire that is UF. I think you would have a better case arguing that maybe we aren't as bad as we thought since we were basing our opinions off two legitimate top 10 teams. And we're only really gonna see that again with Ole Miss.

They looked better in this game no doubt. I will feel more comfortable saying this if we see 2 consistent weeks of this kind of play. Let's be real here, Florida played like shite and shot themselves in the foot a lot in that game.

When we see them string it together for 2 weeks in a row then they've made significant improvement because it shows they can consistently do it.

Pump the brakes.

The reason we made "major improvement" is that Florida is terrible and MSU and Auburn are good. I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but even I can figure out that it's easy to look better against bad teams.

By the way, do you think our passing game made "major improvement" against UF? Midway through the 4th quarter, we had less than 50 yards passing.

Hey, I'll take the win, but those were two evenly-matched below average SEC teams. We still play Ole Miss, Bama, Arky, and A&M.

Are you really comparing a game against a team like MSU to a game against a dumpster fire team like UF?

LSU looked great against SHSU and ULM too, what's your point?

I'm not sure about "major" improvements.... And most of it is because the coaching staff made adjustments. Beckwkth at MLB over Welter, Pocic at RG over Fanaika, feed LF, play Adams more.

We have improved on OL though, I agree with that. But besides the OL, nobody has really improved that much. The coaches just finally started to play the better players and some of our young guys are starting to get more comfortable out there, which is expected as the season goes on.

Minor tweaks in personnel can make a big difference. And some guys have improved a little.... But I wouldn't say major improvements.
