Well I would like LSU fan's opinions I understand stats can be misleading when you take into account negative yardage for QB sacks.

I have not had the pleasure of watching LSU much this season. I was able to watch vs Washington, Florida, Alabama, Ole Miss, and Arkansas either on TV or ESPN 360.

Wondering what the LSU faithful think, if that stats are misleading.

I will trust CLM to be able to as we please just as we have done in the other bowl games. We have the talent and for what ever reason we didn't get it done in the season. With a month to prepair if I was a Penn st fan I would be worried.

How is Penn state's secondary?

i think shep and holiday will be the fastest people penn st's d has seen this year but crowton is an idiot and they will only get a combined 14 carries... ur right about the oline too... the only way to get those 2 the ball will be to get them to the edge and have them try to outrun everybody... sounds like crowtons speed option to the short side of the field will be a frequent call in this 1

If you had, you likely be asking, "just what have these coaches been teaching in practice," instead of your initial questions. You certainly wouldn't refer to it as a pleasure to watch either.

They are not misleading. The answer to your question is NO, we will not be able to do any of those things. We may be able to pass on you, our ST's will be an advantage over you, and our speed on defense may shut you down, but I still give your team the advantage due to poor coaching, playcalling and game management by our coaches.

You're going to get mostly negativity in the responses I'm afraid from the disgruntled Tiger masses. Tons of talent that just did not produce this season for any number of valid reasons. And now, the top three rb's all out. I can tell you this. Having watched PSU on numerous occasions this season they may have trouble containing the speed of Holliday and Shepard if they are given 20-25 chances to touch the ball as I hope. Your biggest concern however will be trying to limit the effectiveness of Jefferson. If he is on with his accuracy,(About 75% of the games this season he was)the LSU starting recieving corps(all four will play in the NFL some day) can give the Lions a long day on defense. I expect JoePa to have his ST pop up the kicks to limit TH and even Chad Jones return games. Both returned kicks to the house this season. On defense, the Tigers will be healthy and Chavis has proven to be a good game schemer. Again, outside of OSU and Iowa, doubt you guys have seen the kind of team speed LSU has.
