Already seeing a lot of national types leaning that way. The computers have OM with a better chance to win and looks like Vegas has been shifting that way early this week. OM at home, after a brutal loss in TS last year, possibly starting a new QB.

Clemson and Florida stinking has a lot talking about if LSU is overrated.

You're gonna see it a lot this weekend. Doesn't matter. Tigers by double digits.

Florida’s offense sucks, but their defense is legit.

Six point game mid fourth quarter against Miami.

I also think Clemson, while hilariously bad now, was a tough game at the time.

It’s reminiscent of Texas in 2019 where they gave us everything we could handle and then sucked the rest of the season.

We took Clemson's best shot in week 1. They haven't gotten back to that level since. Their effort in games is abysmal which speaks to locker room issues. As for us, I'm confident our defense will be more than enough for us to win this game. It may take a drive or two to get used to the pace OM plays at, but we'll be fine. This game hinges on our offensive production.

Our O-line is a hot mess. That much is sure.

Any model will show them to be between 70 and 85% favorites right now. You could drop that down to roughly 60-70% if you weigh team talent heavier (unusual for a month of data), but the bottom line is, which offense will we see show up for LSU?

That's legit the only question here. Also, models that incorporate AI will be more accurate and might tell a better story. Essentially, you scrape play by plays and feed that to AI, and AI can disseminate things like... garbage points, targeting ejections, and strategy changes in games (running the ball to end the game), etc.

The tulane win is getting massively overrated by the public

La Tech is looking like the better team so far this season, probably the second best team in the state

Honestly, at this point it’s run and block scheme that is lacking. You’re telling me these lower tier FCSsnd even FBS teams have a better o-line than us and run it more successfully? It’s all scheme and the book on lsu is to sit back in zone and dare us to run the ball into only a 5-6 man box because we can’t beat that.

I am telling you that through three games the o-line has gotten stone-walled by "lesser" teams. I saw it. Everyone has seen it. It is inexcusable in season four for the 100M dollar man. I give him no leeway on this.

As an Ole Miss fan I will tell you this in earnest: never, ever bet on Ole Miss.

Not worried at all.

Hell they couldnt beat us last year with Dart at QB.

Their guys will be shell shocked by the third quarter.

Yep. Everyone just sees an undefeated, top 15 team at home vs Brian Kelly. They don’t know much about our defense though

Yeah, I like it too.

Hopefully we use it to our advantage by showing the team all week. National experts and Vegas are telling them they will lose.

Funny how Florida "stinks" but Miami jumps us in the ranking after their game against Florida. Florida should have won that game. They had the ball in 4th quarter with the chance to take the lead down 13-7 and they went straight Les Miles. 3 straight runs and punt.

If they would have opened the offense up at all they could have won but it sure looked like Napier was scared to let Lagway throw at all that game. They were way too conservative that entire game. That 4th quarter drive would have been the perfect time to open the offense up a little bit.

The overrated talk is only for us but not for Miami when Notre Dame is not what people thought they were to start the season similar to Clemson but not getting the same push back. And our win vs Florida is not as impressive as Miami's win vs Florida. LMFAO this is exactly why I have never liked any type of media.
