re: 8-4 (after 3 games prediction)

Why you're wrong:

Given that:

1. we believe LSU is a talented team by both SEC and National FBS standards

2. we know factually that LSU has the most fickle fans on earth and will doubt every single minute of every single game, every single year, up until we win the NC

The biggest 2 problems coming into this season were QB and adjusting to John Chavis.

- Between JJ and Lee we are 49/75 with 1 INT. on the season
- Lee is 100% on the season!! (granted 2/2 but baby steps)
- JJ's season QB Efficiency is 138.90. As of 9/20 he is 46th in the nation, but more importantly 1 spot ahead of Jake Locker, whom negatigers generally respect.

- Our Defensive improvement isn't quite as quantifiable, but anybody who is actually paying attention to the game can notice that we are 1)playing with intensity, 2) not blowing coverages, and 3) not relying on the same 1 or 2 players to carry us every game.

I personally think this season may end up looking more like when we had Gay, Hookfin, and Webster in the secondary. Everyone is getting in on the action.

Also, when you throw out random guesses as to season record, you might want to put which 4 we lose to and why? Support the argument...
