1. Sentiment favors Gamecocks. Injustice of Traveling for "Home game," Suffering of State in midst of tragedy makes for a compelling storyline. Perhaps even empathy from Tigers who've been there. Subconsciously or otherwise, LSU might not bring the intensity needed here.

2. Underperforming SEC East team due for surprising performance when none expected. True Freshman QB Nunez coming off of poor performance with little pressure this week.

3. Classic "look Ahead" game. With Next weeks opponent Florida yery impressive thus far, How focused will Tigers be on the disappointing yet dangerous Gamecocks?

4. LSU soaking in the love from national media, LF hype over the top just enough to cause letdown.

5. Proof is in the Syracuse & Eastern Michigan pudding. How Did the Tigers perform against overwhelming underdogs the past two weeks?

In short, Is there anything to suggest that the Bayou Bengals will meet expectations this week.?

Nunez is nicked and may not play.

This may sound callous but this reasoning didn't affect the Va Tech game

had it been on the road maybe..

had LSU not been uninspired this past week.. maybe..

had USC had more time to practice.. maybe..

i was concerned with this game when it was an early game and on the road.. but south carolina is in trouble..

to answer your #5 question.. LSU never once trailed in either game.. and still had control.. LSU was about to put up 50+ points on E.M.. but took a knee.. that's pretty legit considering LSU was sleep walking during that game..

how about look back to see how LSU has played in SEC games.. especially at home.. we should be fine..

I don't really see SC playing much inspirational football on the road.. and LSU knows they weren't focused last week. They have said they recognize this and are taking prep more seriously.

I agree. Although my major concern was penalties on the road, we still can't get away with a lackluster performance.

Agred. This is a dangerous game for all those reasons. I doubt LSU wins convincingly, but anything can happen.

I agree with you. Almost posted a similar thread. This has everything built for an upset. I feel like when the fans take an opponent lightly, the team does too....hence EMU and Cuse. (There are MANY others from years passed, but I'm saying for this season)

Not to mention how sloppy we have been. Sloppiness could lead to an upset against a team like USC

6. Miles is not going to pour on the points on South Carolina after the week they've had. I see a 10 point LSU victory, but not 19 or more that the point spread suggests. If we are up two scores in the third quarter, expect to see nothing but ground and pound from our fearless, often resurfacing and quirky leader.

Maybe we should just forfeit the game now and just party in the stadium

It definitely has trap game written all over it. Can't see us covering the spread regardless of what it may be. I hope we hang 50pts on them but this game has the potential of dropping is in the polls.

I would buy into that if they had a quarterback with experience under his belt. He doesn't have a Leonard Fournette type back to bail him out. The gamecocks have to travel on short notice and their thoughts will be on South Carolina. LSU beats the snot out of USC east. Book it.

Every weekend one of you negative fricks predict a trap game. Damn, y'all are some miserable arse women.
