College Gameday in Atlanta Sept. 4

Im pumped... screw the negativity. LSU wins at least ten this year. Ensminger, Gonzales, and Wilson are great coaching additions.

The o-line will surely be better considering Black is gone (major underachiever last season), Blackwell and Hurst played very well in the time they saw last season, and Longeren should play better than T-bob.

I love our defense and believe they will keep us in every game. The line is undersized but faster and Woods + Alem are gone (more senior underachievers. Riley will be missed but we have been waiting on Baker to come through for a while and hopefully its time. OUR SECONDARY SHOULD BE CRAZY GOOD. Plus it's the defenses 2nd year in the Chavis system.

Ridley looks more like a running back than he did last year and Ford will not disappoint. Plus Murph comes back. If we use Shepard enough we will definitely put up more points than last year.

Miles and Crowton know they are on the chopping block and will have the team ready to play. Anyone saying LSU will go 7-5 is nuts. The team they had in '08 was god awful with coaches on defense a lot worse than Crowton. They barely managed to lose 5 games.

As bad as last season was, LSU lost 2 games by 2 points. The Ole Miss game was a complete meltdown on the road and anyone that went to the Cap One Bowl will tell you that it looked like 25 F-150's did donuts around the field in the rain right before kickoff (Penn St. has the advantage in conditions like that over anyone).

They lost by 10 at home on a night where the offense didn't get out of bed. Any O and LSU beats UF.

Many also forget that LSU was beating king Saban after 3 quarters last year. The tide are not unbeatable.

Personally, I will be shocked if LSU loses 4. I predict the Tigers win at least 10. JMO

Sorry that I seem overly optimistic compared to 99% of the people on here. I just believe this could be a very good LSU team.

I agree, my friend! We win no less than 9-10, but I feel like this could be a fantastic season even considering one of the most difficult schedules in the country.

LSU WILL be on a mission this year!

See y'all in Hotlanta!!!
