If it is close mid to late 3rd quarter, our Tigers are in trouble this year



LSU's previous game wasn't very close for most of the 3rd quarter.

Was Furman a good 1-AA ( I refuse to call them by another name)? I was certain we played a weak team even for their division recently.

Firman was 3-4 last season when they met up with LSU. They finished up the season 8-6, Southern Conference co-champs and lost in the 2nd round of the playoffs. But they're usually a pretty solid FCS program.

Towson was 1-10 the year before they went 9-3.

LSU got 99 problems but Sam Houston State ain't one.

This really shows that you don't follow College football...Now, they are loaded with Offensive talent, and could give LSU fits, but its just not a Historic statement..


You just couldn't make a statement without attacking my football IQ. I shall submit the following so you will shut the hell up...

Sam houston runs an offense similar to Auburns. Yes we beat Auburn last year rather handily right? But Auburn ran for 213 rushing yards in that game. We won it so handily because of early turnovers and miscues by Auburn. Their total yardage was over 400 yards.

They run a read option offense, which will require the defense to be very disciplined, which we haven't been for two years. With the youth of LSU, one can expect some players being out of position simply because of their will to make a big play. SH employs a ton of mis-direction, which also requires lane awareness and assignment discipline. With a scrambling QB, if we get out of position he can house it.

You sir owe me one new hat.

You guys just don't get it. Sam Houston has been in the FBS championship game like 3 of the last four years. The only reason they haven't been able to win a championship is because they couldn't get by North Dakota State.

I'm just saying they will not roll over.

This just HAS to be a troll.

I can't imagine a team in a worse position than Sam Houston is in. Seriously, Les Miles is probably gleeful right now. Instead of having to find a way to motivate his team, he has a ton of players (O-line, running backs minus Hilliard, defensive front 7) who are angry and embarrassed by the way they played; and yet the team gained a lot of confidence by rallying versus a ranked team.

I think we're going to see a massacre of epic proportions. Consider- we should see a good bit of the starters, trying to establish a better flow than they showed in game 1. They likely will play longer than you normally would see in a matchup like this. And once the backups come in, remember they will be guys like Harris at QB, Fournette and/or Magee at RB, possibly Dupre at WR (don't know how his injury is)... guys also wanting to prove game one was a fluke.

And yet, there will be confidence after the rally, too. Not arrogance, but a quiet sense that they are better than the opponent as long as they play as hard as they can. Wont be any hesitation or doubt, they shook that off game one.

I don't know whether to facedesk or laugh hysterically.


Auburn couldn't do shite regardless of TOs and most of their yards were garbage time.

Gimmick offenses are worthless against chavis/LSU. If you'd have paid attention to the past 2-3 years you'd know.

I agree, but LSU is a very young team across the board. Just like it's impossible for me to convince some of you that this might be a competitive game, its almost impossible to convince very young players that the game could be competitive. I didn't say we would lose the game, but over-looking this team would be a mistake.

Say what you want, but the rain definitely helped us slow down Auburn's offense. The rain forced a couple of poor passes to open receivers. There was a dropped punt snap. It's okay to admit we caught a few breaks. In the second half they were racking up yards and points.

What offense does Ole Miss run? Bo Wallace has lit us up two years in a row. In 2010 with Hugh Freeze as off coordinator they racked up points as well.

No matter what some of you might think, we are not immune to defeat from a lesser opponent.
Well, we've been immune in our past 46 consecutive non-conference games. I doubt Sam Houston State is the team to break that streak.

Alabama State gained over 450 yds last week. Nuff said.
