re: Is LSU a better team for having played Wisconsin?

Wisconsin is not a perfect team and we aren't either. What Wisconsin did was show what really needed work. If we play Sam Houston first we blow them out and think we have this incredible team and you don't see the weaknesses. Wisconsin exposed the offensive line in the first half a case can be made that the Oline still has a lot to prove and live up to preseason speculation. They did not play well against WI when both tackles were in the game and they out weighed SHSU by 60lbs per man. But at least they know they have work to do to be as good as they are supposed to be. And that is the strength of this very young team. I think the Dline is in a similar situation with all of the youth. Decent in the second half of Whisky and totally out manned SHSU aganist much lessor talent.

Of course. The experience the team got was critical. Nationally televised game against a ranked team in front of 75,000+ people. That alone helped the team grow.

If Wisconsin can run the Big 10 table then the game could pay huge dividends for LSU in December.

This team is young. Coming back from 17 down is called adversity. Something they wouldn't have experienced if they played 3 games that were all blow outs. So if we get behind a moo state, we know this team is capable of clawing its way back.

Losing to a 10 win Wisky team is better than blowing out another tomato can team.In. The eyes of the committee .....so they say .

Is LSU a better team for having played Wisconsin?
If we skated by a bunch of cupcakes to start this season, we'd likely see a lot of sloppy mistakes that the talent would overcome. Miles would have a hard time convincing players to work harder when they've just won by 30 pts; and sooner or later that would come back to bite us in the arse.
That first half against Wisconsin eliminated that. I'm pretty sure every player came in stunned and humbled, and gave the coaches their full attention. And whatever the coaches did, it worked.

It certainly helps Lsu in almost every facet. I have a great deal of respect for the Wisconsin program and will absolutely be pulling for them in every game.

Of course it was. Coming back from 24-7 in the second half has to be a huge confidence boost and wake up call for the team.
Wisconsin could also conceivably go 11-1 with that schedule... that would be great for our ranking and postseason chances.

Of course

That is not where "the better" is. It is the game film which indicates the things on which LSU needs to improve. Play a good team defines weaknesses real well. I agree with Miles. LSU needs to make another great leap forward in the ULM game, much more than is normally expected between the second and third game. This is a very young team. Even most of the "older players" like Jalen Collins, Jalen Mills, Alexander, Hunter, ect are only in their 3rd year. This team must start executing everything, defense, offense, ST at their peak by the 6th game.

Yes we are better for playing them especially since we won and that most likely Wisconsin is going to win the Big 10...

Just wondering if that game will benefit us enough to make a difference in two weeks versus Moo State.
SHSU gave up 60 lbs on average on the line to LSU. Wisc matched or exceeded LSU on the line size. You be the judge...
