LSU is going to be one hell of a football team this year. LSU is extremely talented and Defensively will be unreal. I don't know what these "experts" are thinking but it's BS.

Why not 2pac Disgeaux Bob? He is considered by some to be the greatest of all time.

LSU is going to shake up the world and shock a lot of people. The Tigers are going to finish 11-1 and the lost will not be to Alabama but to Florida or Georgia. LSU will win the SEC West and get revenge against the team that beat them and win the SEC Championship Game. LSU will be 1 of 4 teams participating in the College Football Playoffs, now all this is predicated on QB Joe Burrow being the type of QB that win games not just manage them with our defense, O-Line, RB's and WR corp those bold predictions is not out of this world. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!PURPLEREIGN?????????

if there is one thing that I have learned, it is that low pre-season expectations are a very good thing for any football team....

This is becoming straight up disrespectful to a team that Top to Bottom on talent alone could beat anyone on the schedule possibly. Will we no but it’s going to be a Boom or Bust season IMO but shite these talking heads are starting to piss me off.

It comes down to our offensive skill position players. While we can all name players on Georgia, Bama, Auburn, no one outside of Louisiana has a clue about any of our QBs, RBs or WRs. Hence - we're predicted to go fifth.

LSU isn’t in the realm of Alabama as far as talent
user avatar
AustinKnight82 months
You're quite wrong Mr Ellis sure Alabama is stacked but there is a reason most of their players remember playing LSU the day after. Promise you switch coaches for one game and have Saban coach LSU and give Gumbo Bama and I like our odds. shite I even like our odds this year if he keeps his hands off Coach E and his offense.

Some people are going to be surprised this season. Defense is going to dominate and offense more consistent overall.

I like it. After the Troy and Moo St abortions last year, these guys being slighted by the press- probably some damn good motivation to come out with a major shoulder chip...

Why in the frick is Mississippi State getting so much love? I get it, Mullen did a good job and they made an ok follow-up hire, but I’d bet my house on them finishing no higher than 5th in the West this year. They just aren’t that talented or deep from top to bottom

It blows my mind. A team that finished 4-4 in the sec last year, with a 52% qb
user avatar

No it's simply because you're a moron and look at the name instead of the team. Mississippi St has a heisman caliber QB, all their top rushers (including a 1000 yard rusher), and receivers return, two of their DL are predicted to go in the first 2 rounds, along with most of the rest of the defense returning. Their defense was almost equal to LSU's statwise (they played UGA, and we played Tennessee, so that skews the numbers a bit) last year and they have a HC coming in that turned Penn St around year one as an OF. State finishes no worse than 9-3 next year.

Well maybe we actually do something when we are predicted to be at the bottom because lord knows when we predicted to finish at the top lately we haven't even been close.

We are going to shock some people thisay year. The Tigers should be pissed about the disrespect they're being shown. If we beat miami in dallas like we should, we will get more respect. I feel sorry for miami bc the Tigers will be royally pissed. Let's frickin play ball already, damn. Geaux Tigers.

LSU is going to surprise a lot of people. Only reason people are questioning them is because of the QB situation. Burrow is going to solve that problem real quick.
