CFL"s description of our running & passing game is surprisingly glowing. Descriptions like "smashing you in the mouth", "punching the other team in the throat" and getting a "Mouth full of face mask" were bandied around with words like "Elite", "well designed" and "accuracy". So much for the "ESPN hates LSU" conspiracy theory, at least for this week!

BTW all three analysts picked LSU in a tight fought game!

IF we lose all bets are off. They will dog Miles out for sure.

I just hope they go in to Athens and play smart football. If they eliminate turnovers and penalties, we win.

ESPN clearly recognizes that this team has the potential to be great.

Nice to hear. Thanks for posting. Either way, at least we gained some respect on the year everyone said we'd be down.

ESPN likes offense... We have a high powered offense now.

Why wouldn't they. We have the best O-Line in the SEC. A stable of quality backs. And two wide receivers that constantly get open.

The only thing I'm having issues with is our front seven stoping the run. But they only have one back. Also they use their tightend quite often. Loston needs to have a big game and let his presence made in the middle of te field.

Brian Griese became the biggest LSU homer once we hired Cam.

It's not just Espn, CBS sports analyst are picking LSU and I believe CFN has LSU #1. An impressive win will get LSU a few #1 votes.

Watch the rest of the Country and the sports talking heads turn once we beat Georgia. Don't know if I can deal with Colin Cowherd on the Tigers bandwagon!

As important as elite defenses are, they always hype good offenses because they're exciting. Now that LSU seems to have one, the supposed hate is gone .

OBJ showing what I think they call "late hands" where the WR doesn't tip off that he's catching the ball. He's keeps his hands down until the last second. That's NFL caliber type of game right there. This is stuff we should be really confident about when it comes to our guys. They're playing like pros because they're learning from a guy from the pros.

ESPN has always liked LSU. Back in the day before there were 50 channels showing games ESPN would often air the LSU game.

ESPN loves Bama more though.

ESPiN will hype whoever is their main attraction Saturday, and dump all over them on Sunday.
Don't let them in your head.
