Given all the negative media attention, our well documented offensive struggles and an outsider perception of 'panic' in our program, I think Florida will underestimate us. Most of their players have never lost to LSU or even been challenged the last couple of years. I've talked to a few Florida fans and they all use the 'Miles is an idiot' argument - they're awfully confident for a team that just got trampled by Bama.

I think this game has the makings of an upset if Lee gets the nod and gets in rhythm and we don't turn the ball over more than once or twice. The rest of the pieces are all in place to make this a dandy.

The fans are. The team is not... Not after last weeks beating.

Idk if they are "underestimating" the Tigers. But I do feel sorry for Fla. This team is not only tired of hearing all the negative shite from fans and media alike, but they smell blood in the water. Fla showed some holes on D and basically provided a blueprint of their O last week. This defense will tear them apart and, assuming we can get in clicking, this O should exploit some of the gaps in their D. I like how we match up with Fla.

Maybe he will. But I'm pretty sure they've had this game penciled in as a W all along. Kinda like we did the TN game.

i think its more likely they come out to stomp some shite after haveing their asses handed to them last week.

It would have been better for LSU if they got the big win last week.

I actually think all the fan controversy will help LSU a whole lot in this game.

LSU has a long history of getting complacent after winning big games or going on even a modest winning streak, but the Tigers are definitely not complacent right now!

I think that FL may be a bit banged up after playing Bama. I like our chances if the offense converts some of its 3rd downs to keep the D off the field some.

I dont know about that...they have been kind of flat all year.

Bama put the kind of beating on them that LSU used to put on folks.....may have a lingering effect. They may really be doubting their system with their current personnel.

So Florida loses by 25 points last week and is overlooking LSU because you have 2 Florida friends who think LSU sucks? NICE
