re: If LSU "O" moves to 40 out of 120, what will be our 2010 record?

So you think the schedule is that much more difficult, or we get worse breaks?

It is the schedule. we play 2 tough OOC opponents early - no coasting like some teams - and are likely to have some injuries when you play tougher opponents. PLUS What is so difficult is the 2 wildcard teams in Arky and AU. Both of those teams could beat us even with a better offense. Their offenses will score on us. The key is for us to score more than them. With all of that said, by the time we get to that late in the season, expect the D to tire down some and allow more points. This has been proven in years past no matter what coach we had - see 2007 as a good reference or any other year for that matter. The backend of our schedule is brutal and now we added 2 tough opponents to the front.
So 10-3 with a Capital One Bowl win would be a good achievement for this team. I would be happy considering how young we are in several areas. The only thing I would LOVE to see is a win over either Fla or Bama. We will beat Ole Piss this year eventhough Houston Nutt is on a hot streak against us.
