ESPN Analyst Says LSU Is Only Team That Can Keep It Close vs. Alabama This Season

Again, there isn't a dude named Jimmy ESPN out there. It's different people making different predictions.

This.

I want to agree with you, but teams say this every year about them and this year they appear to have their best team to date.

I just want to see how Tua responds to being pressured. He hasn’t been pressured or even had to play an entire game yet this season. I’m not sure if LSU can beat them or not but they really haven’t played anyone yet to put any pressure on either side of the ball. The best team they’ve played is ATM and they put up 20 points.

Didn't know 2017 had anything to do with the 2018 season, pussy.

You are dodging the point here. Bama does look great and I will no deny that but are certainly untested at this point. You are bringing up the Aggie game and I'm unsure if you saw their game last weekend but they barely squeaked by Ar Kansas who lost by 4 touchdowns at home to North Texas. At some point everyone must realize that not playing a full game for eight weeks and then having to play to the wire at night in Tiger Stadium will not be easy. Dear Grapevine if we win these two games in the next two weeks I would be shocked if we did not bypass the mighty Crimson Tide for #1. Now I have my serious doubts that we can beat Bama but this team is getting better each game and the confidence just continues to grow. It will be a good one come November in Baton Rouge especially if the chips fall our way. If the Aggies had our schedule what would their record be? Certainly not 5-0. I'm willing to bet TAMU put up more yards on Bama then Arkansas. Why? Cause Bama pulled their starters. It's that simple. No starter for the Tide played all four against them and it's not hard to put a few hundred yards together against 2nd/3rd stringers. All in all what you said up here should be ignored by LSU fans that believe this team has a chance to do special things. Lots of similarities between this team and some of our greatest. Anyways off the soapbox! Geaux Tigers??

Wow how genius! Another clown insulting Orgerons background. Took a lot to come up with that one I bet? Jackass

But we did miss that field goal. And we did cough up two inexcusable fumbles. And they didn't. Hence the difference between a good team and a great team.

eman, you're an idiot. Bama has 3 fumbles lost and 1 INT in 5 games. LSU has 3 fumbles and no interceptions. Hence a great team, right?

idiot

Dat gumbo grows your junk

Probably got some boudin in his pocket for after the game.

Are we still doing phrasing?

Competition brings out the better in teams.... Give us the hard route gotta win no matter what anyways

Texas A&M was at home and down by 17 in that game. They needed miracles to get it within one score. They also were 1 play away from losing to Arkansas.

Is that the same A&M who barely beat the abysmal Arkansas, and same Clemson who let Syracuse take them to the wire at home? Got it.

Last weeks WIN by Texas a&m , showed us what we needed to see in deciding if there in the auburn lsu Kentucky tier...there not....you've got to hammer Arkansas to get respect because you have 2 losses already. There two good teams that beat them ,but there wins aren't impressive

I’m not saying I agree with ESPN, but it’s not contradictory to say LSU can give Alabama their most competitive game but still miss the playoff

You do realize that ESPN is not only one person right?

UGA, UF, Auburn, TAMU? Don't get cocky. We're good, but we aren't THAT good.

I like the attitude. It is hard to go to Auburn and get a win. It is something that the great Nick Saban has shown time and again to struggle with, especially when they are ranked in the Top 25. LSU has the potential for something special this year.

we coming
