Which one are you most concerned about slowing LSU's offense down? None? A&M & Bama have the best chance of improving their offenses before the game. Unfortunately, I think LSU's Defensive issues are deeper than just scheme, and the LSU defense is what it is at this point. LSU will have to out score teams; thus, the question about a Defense slowing down LSU.

When the offense is clicking it’s phenomenal but they are both a bit inconsistent and are carrying the team.

Not sure how bad Auburn is but A and M has some studs on its D line. Bama seems meh for Bama team.

Auburn is horrific. Miami carved up Texas AM.

Not worried about any of these 3

A&Ms defense gave up 48 points to the only offense with a pulse they played. Bama has a good d but it isnt old Bama d and their woes on offense may be hideable but only to an extent. They lack talent at wr and rb, plus their oline seems very average right now. We will have a chance to beat anyone left on our schedule.

Btw, Rogers from Miss St threw for 487 on South Carolina Saturday and only 103 last week in us so id say our d can be decent at times this season.

Here we go again….we are going to struggle to win against all 3 of those teams.

Not saying we won’t win, but it will be close and down to the wire if we win….and maybe not as close if we lose.

That's good. We can't have fans looking ahead or Ole Miss might sneak up on LSU!

Did anyone watch this game? I didn't catch any of it. The State gameplan vs. LSU seemed like a head scratcher, given Roger's strengths and LSU's weaknesses. However, as Iron Mike says, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."

A&M is a problem, they have a good offense and a good defense. Bama and Florida have serious issues on the offensive side.

Every single SEC game that LSU plays for the rest of the season will be a war. Auburn is a bad team that will play its absolute best against LSU.

Florida is a flawed but talented team that will give LSU fits on both sides of the ball.

Alabama and A&M have more NFL players than LSU and equal or better coaching. LSU fans cannot say Jimbo is a bad coach after he schooled Kelly and staff last year. Both games will be wars.

Kiffin will scheme 34-38 points against this LSU secondary. Can LSU score 40 in Oxford?

Missouri is a complete wild card. Hard nosed team and coach. Nobody on LSU's team can cover Luther Burden. Nothing will be easy for LSU in that weird venue.

None of them. I made a list and every SEC team we faced, and they all have gotten torched by at least one team.

LSU is averaging 530 yards and 42 points per game. LSU has scored at least 24 points in every game and neither Florida nor Bama has done that. LSU has also played a top 5 team and 2 SEC teams. No other team on LSU's schedule has played 3 power 5 teams yet so our numbers offensively are pretty much what you get. We are averaging around 190 rushing and 340 passing per game.


Florida has played terrible offenses outside of Tennessee which is only decent.

TAMU played one good offense and got completely lit up for 375 pass yards and 5 TDs.

Bama has played one good offense. I don't count Ole Miss's offense as that good yet because they played 3 bad defenses before playing Bama. Bama's defense got torched by Texas. If you can block for Daniels, he'll eat up Bama.

How is this any different than what he said outside of being more negative? He said nothing about blowing out teams, or that those games will be easy.

I’m actually most concerned with Florida because that game comes in a bit of a difficult time for us. I mean I’m not overjoyed with the idea of playing Florida only 1 week from being AT Sabamaramajama. Granted, if we should lose a heartbreaker at ramajama, it’s Florida’s punkbit_h arse that next Saturday!

If Ole Miss "sneaks up" on LSU, we've got major coaching problems.

The agenda/development expressed by Kelly with this team suggests a major disconnect with what the players are demonstrating on the field. Whatever "alignment" taking place doesn't seem to be sinking in. Perhaps it's a cerebral thing with our players (and Kelly doesn't have it all figured out as to getting them all on the same page).

Bama. Honestly, I want to see A&M and Arkansas this weekend. I don't think the Aggies are impressive at all. Auburn is not a good team and they struggled against them offensively.
