LSU success against USC and A reply: Simply a Poor road team?

LSU beat USC, and it looked like thy have found themselves...
The LSU defense by the way has 45.3 % of its opponents possessions being 3 and outs! that is crazy high, bama is 43% Florida is 39%
LSU's defense was on the field much less for the USC game than the game against UFla
They played two Freshman Olineman, and they were said to be relied upon for power plays.. and they called them Bulldozers....
It was said it was impressive how much push those guys got...... which made me think.... does that make that side of the defensive line less explosive on passing plays as they are trying to muster all they got to stalemate these ol goliaths, allowing for only one sack given to USC
ONE sack given!!! that is far and away a difference against one of the better d-lines in all of college football than what was displayed in the first games, apart from Washington..
So that begs to defer to this weekend's game..... Is this team ONLY truly a team who plays well at home??
The only other opponent it has faced that meant something was Washington, who also had only one sack....
I welcome this game in College Station versus A&M, we will find out, has this team found itself? Or, is this team just a big time performer in it's home field with a respected opponent?
There are signs that LSU has found itself, but we thought so after Washington as well.
Bring on the aggies!

Dude, just post this in the original thread. No need to try to grab attention with a new thread on the same topic.

Sev09,
I was going to post some things about how LSU has seemed to fóund itself, but then tied into the earlier posts question about being a good home team..
As i realized, it was a question to ask, so i wanted to give some insight i learned from the Advocate,
My basic question is:
Have we found our winning formula, or maybe as has been said here: Is it that LSU is a strong home team.
I like how we play A&M and find that out before Bama
(to that avail: I recommend going to www.theadvocate.com today, there is some good stuff there)

Well many teams are bad road teams. LSU benefits from having their toughest remaining games at home.
LSU is bad on the road but they should handle A&M and Arkansas.

I lean to the thought... that this was a 'damn strong football team'' they beat...
and beat worse than the score indicates...
a punt return, and a int allowed USC to stay close
.. maybe one truth.. As Goes Mett goes on the road, so goes LSU?????

My opinion is this: we had success because we were able to complete some early passes and keep the sc safeties out of the box which in turn helped us run the ball successfully. The biggest differences btw the sc game and the UF game were that we didn't drop passes that would have been first downs and we didn't have many penalties that amounted to insurmountable yardage. That's why we were able to succeed. Simply executing.
I was the biggest miles basher of all last week, but the proof is in the pudding. When the players are efficient, the formula works. We were in the red zone all night.
The more this team gels, the better they'll get. I can't wait to watch it all unfold.

Also, IIRC LSU had 20 additional offensive plays against SC and completely dominated TOP. I really don't see LSU losing another game if they keep this trend going.

You post like Miles talks, in riddles.
