Not talking about the future, talking about the last two seasons. I personally think this will be a really good game, closer than fans on either side are willing to admit.


Oh, I expect a good game. No doubt.

If we're talking the last 2 seasons, and not some hypothetical future, then I say no doubt we would have gone undefeated last year in the SEC West. This year, not as sure, since we have a new coach and staff, Bama looks to have their best team ever, and our main QB was playing injured for half the season before he got majorly injured.

That's cute. The SEC West had 3 teams in the initial CFP rankings this season


Which poll was that? The same one that had UCF in the 20s? Ya, preseason means jack.

Ok so how much do you actually pay attention to college football? You think the CFP rankings are preseason rankings?

Oh my bad, I glanced right over the CFP after seeing initial.

But last I checked, Auburn beat two number 1s, and we beat them, so....

5 of our 12 wins came against teams thy are currently in the top 20 for rush yards/game, and 7 are in the top 50. By no means are we great at stopping the run, but that stat does skew our stats in rush defense a little. BTW LSU is not in the top 50.

Serious question, if you played UCF’s schedule (including conference championship games and bowl game), do you think LSU would’ve won 25 straight games?

I think most of our team is sitting out the exhibition game because they don't want to risk hurting themselves in the hopes of getting drafted by the NFL.

You might be facing some Walk Ons from the LSU Rugby team.

Serious answer, probably not last year but this year I think they would of gone undefeated.

Serious question, do you believe that UCF would go undefeated for 2 years playing LSU’s schedule?

Absolutely not. I think last year we would’ve had a good shot at having 1 loss with your schedule. This year, I think likely 2 losses, and maybe 3.

The thing about UCF, is that we honestly have that “SEC speed” on both sides of the ball. So the athletic advantage between UCF and LSU is pretty close (we just have to coach them up coming out of high school, as they are not as fine tuned as your recruits).

You do realize everyone has speed at the playmaker positions. That’s not what most are referring to when talking about sec speed. It’s the speed of the big guys. The d-linemen and linebackers. They are what makes the difference.

I’ll never forget in 2011 against Oregon. Mingo ran down the Oregon running back from behind in the backfield. I think that is when chip Kelly realized oh that is what they are talking about.

Hey motherfricker. U wanna compare programs historically? Haha. Guess what, you beat an uninspired auburn in the peach bowl last year...great. we spotted them 20 and still beat them last year. Quit trying to play big boy when you're not. LSU is a superior program to ucf and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

Yes I do. With style we play, our online has to be fast to keep up with the tempo, and our defense line is very athletic (Randy Shannon just doesn’t blitz a lot). Linebackers are fast, but this is a step down from last year as Shaq Griffin had elite speed. Eric Gilyard is a frosh linebacker, who has had flashes of filling that void.

It sucks our starting QB is out
Excuses already? We're missing 3/4s of our secondary, at least one LB and a DL. If we beat you, you should feel bad
