This just HAS to be a troll.

I can't imagine a team in a worse position than Sam Houston is in. Seriously, Les Miles is probably gleeful right now. Instead of having to find a way to motivate his team, he has a ton of players (O-line, running backs minus Hilliard, defensive front 7) who are angry and embarrassed by the way they played; and yet the team gained a lot of confidence by rallying versus a ranked team.

I think we're going to see a massacre of epic proportions. Consider- we should see a good bit of the starters, trying to establish a better flow than they showed in game 1. They likely will play longer than you normally would see in a matchup like this. And once the backups come in, remember they will be guys like Harris at QB, Fournette and/or Magee at RB, possibly Dupre at WR (don't know how his injury is)... guys also wanting to prove game one was a fluke.

And yet, there will be confidence after the rally, too. Not arrogance, but a quiet sense that they are better than the opponent as long as they play as hard as they can. Wont be any hesitation or doubt, they shook that off game one.

I agree, but LSU is a very young team across the board. Just like it's impossible for me to convince some of you that this might be a competitive game, its almost impossible to convince very young players that the game could be competitive. I didn't say we would lose the game, but over-looking this team would be a mistake.
