That still has nothing to do with TCU being a top 20 team?

This post makes it sound like LSU is a super bowl contender. And you used an irrelevant comment saying TCU's secondary was better than Bama's to some how validate your claim that TCU was a top 20 team.

quote:

LSU has played a top 20 opponent on the road and beat them. Any questions about the offense have been answered. The Oline is fantastic, the RBs are fantastic and Mett has been very good so far through 3 games (9 TDs vs 0 Interceptions).


Top 20 opponent? Nope.
On the road? Nope. Granted it was in Dallas, but there were more LSU fans at that stadium than would have been if it was on TCU's campus. I'm sure the split was a bit in TCU's favor, but not by much.
Any offensive questions have been answered? Offense has looked good, but it's a far cry from being truly tested. Will Auburn give them a test? Somewhat, but I'm gonna reserve judgement on this LSU team until UGA next week.

Hell, I'm reserving judgement on Bama for now. We beat A&M, but it was sloppy. Granted the score was a bit closer than the game indicated, we still have much to improve on and I think Ole Miss should be a good game in a few weeks. If they are catching over 14 points, I'll look at taking the Black Bears.

All I said was they were a top 20 team when we played them. They were according to the rankings. However, IMO Rankings are 100% irrelevant. Saying they were a top 20 team was no more than adjective.

Was the game played in Tiger Stadium? No. It was a road game. We may have had fans there. but this was most certainly a road game played at a "neutral site".

Yes, IMO the offensive questions have been answered. 3 games in to the season and we are light years ahead of last year. Mett is a much improved quarterback that seems to have taken control of the offense, unlike last year. The offensive line is VASTLY improved. The WRs seem to have more confidence as they aren't dropping every ball thrown their way. We have been throwing the football a good bit, which seems to answer the question about Miles getting in the way of Cam. IMO most of the offensive questions have been answered. Auburn will not be as big of a test for this offense as TCU was. Not by a long shot.

Fair enough.

Am I saying that LSU is the lock of the century? No. I do think LSU will cover, but it isn't like I am more confident in this game than Oregon-Virginia or Oregon-Tennessee.

I wanted to know what the other poster thought were LSUs question marks.
