CFL"s description of our running & passing game is surprisingly glowing. Descriptions like "smashing you in the mouth", "punching the other team in the throat" and getting a "Mouth full of face mask" were bandied around with words like "Elite", "well designed" and "accuracy". So much for the "ESPN hates LSU" conspiracy theory, at least for this week!

BTW all three analysts picked LSU in a tight fought game!

I just hope they go in to Athens and play smart football. If they eliminate turnovers and penalties, we win.

ESPN clearly recognizes that this team has the potential to be great.

Nice to hear. Thanks for posting. Either way, at least we gained some respect on the year everyone said we'd be down.

ESPN likes offense... We have a high powered offense now.

Why wouldn't they. We have the best O-Line in the SEC. A stable of quality backs. And two wide receivers that constantly get open.

The only thing I'm having issues with is our front seven stoping the run. But they only have one back. Also they use their tightend quite often. Loston needs to have a big game and let his presence made in the middle of te field.

It's not just Espn, CBS sports analyst are picking LSU and I believe CFN has LSU #1. An impressive win will get LSU a few #1 votes.

As important as elite defenses are, they always hype good offenses because they're exciting. Now that LSU seems to have one, the supposed hate is gone .

ESPN has always liked LSU. Back in the day before there were 50 channels showing games ESPN would often air the LSU game.

ESPN loves Bama more though.

ESPiN will hype whoever is their main attraction Saturday, and dump all over them on Sunday.
Don't let them in your head.

ESPN doesn't know anything. They hated us when LSU didn't have a great offense and they picked against LSU constantly. LSU is 34-6 the past 3 years. They don't know what they are talking about.

I am VERY worried about this game. Our defense is going to get carved up. I am not sure we can score enough. VERY worried.

It's ESPN. They're bringing Gameday there. You're surprised they're hyping our team?

bullshite.
"smashing you in the mouth" and "punching the other team in the throat" is code for "Jeremy Hill should be in federal lockdown"
ESPN will always hate LSU.
but I liked the rest of the anti-LSU propaganda.

I don't think the defense is there yet. Still not 100% sure of Mettenberger. Would have been nice to have an Sec road game before this one,

I don't think this is a good match up for LSU. I would be surprised if the defense held Georgia to under 28 pts.

GA 34. LSU 27
