Better opponent requires better output. We will have to play better but I doubt a single player on the team doesn't know this. They will be up for this game

We whipped the shite out of a good Georgia team in Atlanta with similar stats a few years ago. So yeah, even those stats can win a football game if everything else is in place.

Now can this team do it with those stats? Don't know. I imagine we'll need a couple of turnovers to beat Ole Miss regardless.

You left out the most important stat (300 yards rushing). The answer is a big "Yes".

If Jennings only has to attempt 14 passes against Ole Miss and completes 7, we win running away. If Jennings has to attempt more than 20 passes, we are in trouble.

There are no stats for heart, improvement and protecting the ball.

If Les thinks we can beat Ole Miss and Bama utilizing the same game plan that we used on Saturday, then he's dumber than I thought.

We will have to pass the ball, and not only on 3rd and long situations.

LSU beat a pretty good team with these stats back in 2011:

Net Yards Passing 91

Completions-Attempts-Int 9-17-2

Penalties: Number-Yards 7-56


We have seen a Les Miles coached team beat some pretty good opponents even though they did virtually nothing in the passing game. That said, those past teams clearly had much better defenses.

The 2014 defense seems to be improving (still not good, but improving). If that continues they can give the offense a fighting chance. However, no matter who the QB is Les MUST give them a chance to make plays in the passing game for LSU to win.

IMO, that doesn't mean 17 attempts with 8 of them being 50/50 deep balls and another 4 being roll-outs to the FB. Likewise, LSU can't wait until 3rd down to be forced to put the ball in the air. OM's defense is too good for LSU to be as predictable as they normally are and still win.

If we are ahead by 21 or so at halftime then definitely.

The passing stats were a function of the game situations. What did our 3rd down and red zone efficiency look like? Those are much more important stats than pass completions and passing yards in a game like that.

The only stat you posted that bothers me 80 penalties yards

How about this, can you have 119 yards in total offense and score 40+? Mizzou did this weekend.

We put up, what, 500 yards of offense against GA last year and what did it get us? A loss.

Mizzou beat Florida 42-13 with 119 TOTAL YARDS. Stats don't tell the whole story.

Our QBs aren't going to beat many teams throwing it, even the bad teams. That's not going to happen.

Play lights out on defense
Win the TO battle
Great special teams
Success running the ball

That's the only way this team can beat Ole Miss. Fans are dreaming if they think this team can win airing it out.

I don't care what you negative a-holes say. We can beat Ole Miss, and they are overrated.
