In their opener? No one looked better, and in my opinion, no one looked like they could beat us, with the possible exception of UGa.

I feel like I've seen this thread a lot. Maybe I need more sleep.

UG gave up a lot of big plays and turned the ball over too much, aTm played a really bad team, but they looked smooth doing it, BAMA looked like they will continue their methodical routine of playing for 60 minutes and downplaying any success. Florida looked the most vulnerable but they still have a lot of talent.

LSU did not look like a team that is playing a lot of underclassmen with limited or no SEC playing time...thats what is so impressive, red zone issues and special teams breakdowns will get resolved.

ACCS looked pretty good..




Even though part of the game, and every team could say something similar. I agree with you. Take a fumble and ko return away, big diff in score and "feeling"..

I'm not going to go nuts about this issue after one game.

The only team I really worry about each year, is Bama.....and I think their offense looked a little suspect. With the exception of a few good pass plays, their offense managed a mediocre 250+/- yards, with <100 yards rushing. Im feeling pretty good about this season, but I am also quite sure that aTm and bammer will give us a run for our money.

Otis teams tend to improve as season goes.
Your better than this.

Even though they got beat, UGA looks like the best team right now.
I'm not really as worried about Bama. Frankly I'm tired of thinking about them and they won't be getting 3 non-offensive TDs every game.
I'm much less worried about Florida than I thought I'd be honestly, especially with it at home. Their offense looks pitiful.

I'm really feeling like we might be getting set up for an undefeated showdown with aTm come
November. I think they handle Bama and I don't believe they really have anyone else worth worrying about, save maybe Ole Miss if they can put up a fight.

My takeaway from the weekend is this:

1. LSU is capable of beating anyone on their schedule.

2. Bama isn't the juggernaut they have been. They are still really good, and it's going to take a lot to beat them, but they are for sure beatable.

3. THIS may be the year the SEC NC run stops. Clemson and Florida State are for real.

4. aTm needs to learn how to play defense. Or, depending on how you look at it, needs to figure out a way to keep their starting defensive players from smoking pot/missing class/having sex with farm animals/otherwise breaking team rules.

5. Les Miles, coupled with Cam Cameron, coupled with the talent in Louisiana over the next few years does not bode well for rest of the SEC. Just sayin.

They say the most improvement comes between game one and two. So we won't know a lot until after this weekend.

It was one game!

Let's not get over zealous here, it was a good victory but let's wait until after Auburn to start FAPing.

serious?

sabama...osu...clempson...uga...atm...fsu...ut...the ville...michigan...Washington.

we played a very solid game, but the teams above also took care of business. I'm not sold on our lb's and we desperately need to find a big, fast target for Mett. we've got two weeks to get better and then it gets real. JMO.

get better than what I saw on satnite.

Everyone looked sloppy. LSU did look better. However, if LSU wants to get the snowball rollin, the D needs to mature, and the coaches need to eradicate the stupid penalties. Offense is heading in the direction we've wanted.

(1) UGA. They have a very potent offense. If our dline and LB play doesn't improve, they could score an abundance of points on us in Athens;

(2) Bama. Everyone is fixated on the average play of their offensive line, while entirely overlooking the fact that -- with the exception of one long run -- their defense was stifling yet again. Better than our defense, though our offense performed better in week one.

Finally, its hard to draw any meaningful conclusions from a single week. Neither Florida nor TAMU looked great, but those will still be formidable opponents.
