Finding the "W"s On The Rest Of The Schedule

Started this on the Score Board earlier...

After yesterday, I am struggling now. I originally predicted this team to lose 2-3. Now I'm thinking 5-6 is in order.

Let's go through the schedule and see which games we will actually have a chance at winning. There won't be many.

Jacksonville State - W - but barely. Aranda's soft zone defense will be eaten up by this team. Their QB, when given all day to throw, is much more accurate that Wisconsin's QB. Their WRs don't drop many passes either. They will be wide open as our D line doesn't get any pressure at all (nor does it appear we are able to rush more than 4). I think we can pull it off, but we will struggle for 3+ quarters. LSU wins by 7

Mississippi St - W - but barely. LSU has struggled with MSU in recent years, barely beating them when we have. This year won't be different. Last year it took a missed FG for us to win. Will be similar this year. LSU by 3.

AT AUBURN - I'm torn here. If this one was at home I say we take it, but even our best teams under Miles struggle at Auburn. Not to mention Auburn gave a really good team, Clemson, all it could handle yesterday. Toss Up here.

Missouri - W - Should be able to beat them here at home. I say this is one game where we win by more than one score.

At FLORIDA - L - Florida will improve during the course of the year. We won't. They want revenge from last year and will get it.

Southern Miss - W - but barely. USM, like Jackson State, will give LSU fits. Plus, they believe they can win games after coming back from 25 down to beat KY. LSU by 4.

Ole Miss - L - This will be like last year. Ole Miss takes an early lead and just toys with LSU.

Bama - L - LOL. This is the game that ends the season and LSU officially gives up (Sounds familiar? Of course it does!)

AT Arky - L - We will watch Arky do what they've done to us the previous two years. They will romp, stomp and burn over this softer, weaker team.

USA - W - but barely. This is a team that beat MSU at MSU. We will struggle to beat MSU and we will struggle to beat USA. LSU by 5

AT aTm - L - This is the year aTm finally beats LSU. At home, short week, with aTm having a solid bowl on the line for a win. LSU, already having given up, will lay down and die to end the year.

So, I see five wins at this point, maybe 6 with Auburn.

Does that get us in a bowl? Do we accept the invite? Or do we pull a Johnny Jones and just bow out so our best player(s) don't get hurt before the draft?

The silver lining? This is Miles' last season.
