I think we get beat badly by a bad Florida team

Personally, I'm just going to watch with no expectations.

My head tells me we get beat, and pretty bad, my heart is torn because I always want LSU to win, but I fricking hate Coach O. I think I'll, for the first time, just watch. Can't get mad about shite play when shite play is what you expect.

Is this how far we've fallen in such a short time? We've gone from expecting to win EVERY game, including Bama, to not having expectations against Florida?

Damn you Alleva!

It's the ebb and flow of fans. Right after a loss or poor season, as time passes delusional hope starts creeping in and people start to convince themselves that a switch can be flipped. The problem as I see it is Orgeron's disorganization and inability to make sound decisions will likely drive this team into further chaos. #hopeandpray

What has changed so much in a week that people are optimistic about this game?

I really don't know. In fact, each time Ed opened his mouth this week, I became even less confident that we win.

At this point it will be a small miracle if the wheels don't come completely this week.

I think we probably get blown out, maybe we can keep it close.

I would just like to see the Tigers play a competive SEC game.

I agree. This is going to be a long game for LSU. The Gaytors are going to rub our noses in this one.

I expect a Florida victory but this lsu team and Orgeron really are backed into a corner so it's going to be interesting to see how they come out.

You Loser

I think LSU wins by 14 today. Florida should be a 3 loss team at this point. They’ve lost a ton of starters including their QB. LSU was just embarrassed at home. The players should be pissed and highly motivated. Then Florida makes this homecoming? They’ll recognize their baseball national champions and surely highlight they beat LSU.

I just think if these guys have any pride at all, this is the game they lay it all on the line. A beatdown here and you can cancel the season.

Why are we suddenly going to be able to score points against the best defense we've played all year??

---

Florida is statistically the worst scoring and total defense we've played. They are ranked 69th in scoring and total defense (BYU is tied with them in scoring defense). Even more surprising is that DBU is ranked 82nd in passing D. This is the most lackluster D that I have seen in Florida in quite some time. They had one cupcake they didn't play due to a hurricane, but even without the cupcake, they've only played one really good team in Michigan. Vandy, UK and Tennessee are not offensive powerhouses.

But I still don't have enough to tell you that you're wrong in your thinking. The O era seems to be imploding in impressive fashion. All I can say is that we had more talent than them last year and I feel the same way this year, so if the players focus in and ignore the outside stuff (easier said than done), they could pull it off. UF is still playing better as a collective unit though.
