re: Football vs University of Texas

That a joke? Ensminger's Offense put up 33 on Miami during the first game of the season and that defense is a whole hell of a lot better. Texas D was not even top 50 in scoring or total last year and it will be a shell of itself in 2019.

Ok newbie.... Im gonna have fun with your punkass..........

41-10? In our house? JC, you're more delusional than aggy.

Sorry to get off topic, but you know what I laugh at this year. It's not the Texas overhype (it's beyond stupid that the media thinke Texas's defense is going to be ready for LSU in week two), no it's the Texas A&M hype. Not only does TAMU not have a RB worth a flip, their defensive front 7 was shredded (that top 5 rush defense is now gone), and their pass defense was arse last year. Not only that, they play @ LSU, @ Clemson, and @ UGA, and also face Bama. Those 4 teams will finish in the top 10. I saw a guy put TAMU instead of LSU in his 10 teams he thinks could get to the playoffs because he thinks LSU has to break in a lot of young guys on defense. That was so beyond stupid that I just had to laugh.

If I had to guess right now, I'd say LSU goes 11-1. If we go 10-2 we were upset by UF at home

Has LSU even learned about the forward pass yet...

Don't want to play another UGA.

Considering Texas's pass defense would have be the second worse FBS pass defense we played last year (literally one spot above Ole Miss), I believe we would fare pretty well. Keep in mind LSU had an OC who hasn't coached his own offense in 20 years, coach an experimental offense with;

- a first time starting QB
- first time starting RB
- several first time starting, and hell even playing in college, WRs
- an OL who was not only brand new, but had a new OL coach and had to go through no less than 5 different starting units thoughout the year because of multiple injuries

Fact of the matter is that outside of TE, FB and a couple OL, There wasn't a guy on our two deep offensively that was higher than a 3rd string player prior to 2018. Even our starting QB fell from backup to 3rd string at Ohio St.

I'm not saying I expect an offensive explosion, but I do expect LSU to get better based purely on actually having experience everywhere and bringing in, what I believe, are 2 of the 5 best RBs in the 2018 class.

No, you are right on. LSU is poised for a playoff run in 2019. The offense really came together the back half of the season, aside from Alabama where Burrow couldn't get more than 1.5 seconds to throw.

Like you said, we won't be an ofensive juggernaut but this should be the best offense since 2013 and the best overall team since 2011.

I'm thinking more along the lines of the same Ensminger offense that struggled to move the ball against the worst defense in the SEC, couldn't move the ball when it counts against Florida or Aggie, and routinely relied on Dave Aranda's defense to bail it out when it wasn't able to run out the clock. That's the offense I think we'll see in Austin in September. The very conservative, uncreative, Les Milesesque game plan that tends to appear when the game gets tight.

LSU has the talent to win this game going away, but I think poor coaching and a bad game plan keeps it close.

Hopefully we won't get stuck watching that game on the queersteer network. Lhn is horrible. It's like a high school avn put it together.

Just like the LSU baseball team was going to go into Austin and wreck shop
