re: Do you think opposing coaches feel this way about Les?

Maybe. We're no longer feared like we were. We're now a good team that other teams know they must prepare for. The next step down (which I hope we do not take) is being a team that others put a check mark in the "win" column next to as soon as they get the schedule.

I don't want LSU to go back to being a mediocre team that will occasionally win an upset.
