Maybe we just aren't that good?

Be it injuries, suspensions, youth, or whatever. Maybe the early season expectations are not fitting with the capabilities of this current roster.

Hope I am wrong, but we have some growing up to do. I don't think either the AU or Towson games are outliers, we just need to buckle in for the ride.

the capabilities of this current roster


The early season expectations were built on a roster that looked completely different than the current roster. The early season / preseason expectations were made with Mathieu, Tahj Jones, Tyler Edwards, Alfred Blue, Chris Faulk, and JC Copeland in the lineup. Losing that many key players would take a toll on any great team.

Ding, ding, ding. Finally a correct answer. LSU is simply not that good. First year qb, players booted off team, and injuries will cause any team to not be as good as they were projected to be. If they win 10 games and go to a good bowl, it will be a successful season as far as I'm concerned.

No trolling. I just think it will be a much more enjoyable season pulling for a team keeping in mind they won't be beating everyone by 50

Last year's team had the leaders to deal with all the distractions. Im afraid this year's group doesnt have that same leadership (at least not yet).

5-star talent all over the field.

Maybe Les and Stud just aren't very good coaches?

I actually believe Les is a good coach most of the time. However, he is stubborn and determined to run a certain kind of offense that he believes is the best way to win games. I, along with most people, think his offensive philosophy sucks. I really, really wish he would hire a real OC and let him run his offense. But he won't do that due to his mindset and that is his real drawback as a HC that hurts him at times.

Stud just flat out stinks as a OL coach and a OC.

Not really seems like margin of victory makes the fan base happy though,

The realization has hit home for me unfortunately. But I still love my Tigers.

Nah, we are elite.

We just are playing unorganized and uninspired ball.

The sleeping giant awakes at UF.














I hope.

How many five stars are we playing, serious question, I don't know.

Ware, Freak, Collins and Landry are all I know.

Hard to blame some of the struggles on him since he has been here 99% of the time so far. The biggest loss, by far, was Chris Faulk, and it is not even close.
