lol at everyone thinking this

Looking at the stats, the disparity between lsu's run game and the rebs run defense isn't as large as the media is making it out to be. I think Vegas knows this too. When lsu runs for 100 yards, the tigers don't lose often. Jennings won't have to be as big of a playmaker as I initially thought.

Special teams is an lsu advantage imo.

Ole miss has shredded chavis in the last 2 meetings. Let's hope he gets that nailed down this weekend.

CFN has been very very low on LSU this season. This is not surprising.

On their weekly rankings, they had LSU at #30 after the Auburn game.

LSU beat Florida, and dropped to #34. Then after Kentucky, dropped to #35.

They still have aTm ranked in their top 25 after three blowouts.

How interesting....I have Ole Miss 30-13.............

the kiss of death

LSU wins going away

This... I dread watching another choke out, with the offense not being able to do a damn thing about it.

A$M gave up 45 to Alabama by half So I don't think we can conclude much about Ole Miss just yet. they beat Bama at home, a good win for sure. LSU is playing much better on D with Beckwidth and a few changes on the DL... I highly doubt Ole Miss score much on LSU.. I think LSU makes enough plays to win the game Ole Miss is good, but probably not #3 material...but screw it, I ain't picking ainst the Tigers at home... Just on way...we win 80% of the time

It comes down to this:

if "good" Bo shows up, OM will roll

if "bad" Bo shows up, OM could have problems

because

LSU's offense is a fricking disaster

(1) [Apart from NMSU, LSU hasn't] given it up more than once in any other game. Last week against Kentucky was the first time all year LSU didn’t come up with a takeaway and lost the turnover battle, and it was only -1. If the LSU defense can hold down the Rebel offense and not keep it from getting up early, and the O doesn’t make a slew of errors, this should be close.

(2) LSU will try running the ball, it won’t work

(3) Prediction: Ole Miss 31 … LSU 13

(1) is if things go well for LSU, at least the part that says "this should be close". In addition to some possible defense and special teams contributions, I think we can run the ball really well; and in recent weeks, we've added more variation to the running game. LSU might also win if some of the 10- and 20-yard passes are made possible with good decision-making and a varied running game. The passing game has been admittedly weak, but like with Mett against Alabama two years ago, I think it's due for a decent game. And let's not forget LSU did pass for 341 yards against Mississippi St.

I know we don't want to get down like that again, but those 341 yards probably would have been enough to win the game had LSU managed to punch the ball in the end zone rather than falling a yard short.

I certainly don't think Mississippi St. didn't know we would be passing late in the 3rd and in the 4th quarter, and we still got those yards and points. If we don't fall behind like that, Ole Miss won't necessarily know when a pass is coming rather than a run.

I don't accept (2) at all. I don't know who Elijah McGuire is, but he plays for ULL and he ran for 66 yards on 10 carries. They ran for 197 yards overall, and that was with 30 pass attempts. If our running attack is worse than ULL's, we should be winless in conference.

Vandy didn't put up as many yards, but one RB ran 18 times for 95 yards. Temple, by contrast, held him to 70 yards and Vandy as a whole to 54 yards (I guess after sacks were subtracted).

I think (3) is realistic though. We could get yards on a few drives, stall around the 30 or 40 and struggle to put any points on the board all night. On the other side, Wallace can have a really good night and lead the Rebels on four or five touchdown drives. Our defense will not be able to keep up if our offense has few if any sustained drives.

reasonable and plausible. I am hoping for an exception to reason - Geaux Tigers!
