LSU is still Good enough to win the NC this year

Thanks.

I'm with ya. Still no doubt in my mind that we win a national title.

Still have high hopes. I felt TM7 was starting to put himself ahead of the team last year anyway, giving into the honey badger hype. Here's a chance to watch the other young bucks shine.

We better hope that we don't come across a very good passing offense with all the inexperience in the secondary

sure they're still a contender. just not the clear cut number 1 i thought they were coming into the season.

Call me crazy, but this might be a blessing in disguise. Other teams are going to have to adjust to a bigger/taller/stronger secondary.

Meh, like I've been saying - the loss of Claiborne is the cause of this, not TM7

we can still win the NC, but don't kid yourself.
Oregon, losing 6-3, TM causes a fumble and returns it for a TD to give us the lead. WVU, TM intercepts a pass, putting the ball on the 1 yard line to put us up 27-7 at the half. Kentucky TM has two forced fumbles, one that he scores a TD on. Arkansas, 92 yard punt return for TD that tied the game. On Arkansas' next series, he forces a fumble for the go ahead TD drive. Georgia, we can't get a first down, he runs a punt back for a TD, sets up another with a fumble recovery and a third with a big punt return.

We may have very well won some of those games. But, without them the momentum may never swing our way and we could have lost all of them.

He was the most important player on our team last year and single handily turned the game in our favor at least 3 times last year. He is going to be missed big freakin' time.

Exactly

only thing i'm worried about is pass defense

you gotta be kidding me? You think losing Mathieu is all of the sudden going to cause our defense to be involved in shootouts?

if we are forced to play a bunch of freshmen in the secondary it's possible...especially if something happens to reid or simon.
