Our defensive stats say that LSU is one of the top defenses in the country. I just don't see it. LSU has played some very poor offenses this year. Missouri's offense is way overrated and has done nothing against decent competition. I think LSU is going to have to score a lot of points this weekend to keep up with Chad Kelly and company. Hope they are up for it.

Thanks for letting us know ole miss has a good offense. I don't think it'll be exposed as much as finally a true challenge. If we hold them to less than 30 that'll be an accomplishment honestly. You seem like a terrible person to party with too by the way.

They can and will throw the ball. I am confident in White locking his guy down most of the game and Jamal providing support, but Kelly will pick on our second CB, whoever that may be.

Also, Kelly can run the ball. Him extended plays and drives with his legs is a vital part of their offense. We need to contain him in the pocket and not let him ad lib.

Outside of Kelly though, they are not a good running team. Actually a terrible running team.

I find it hard to imagine us holding them to 1 touchdown

Mizz & USM were both top 10 offenses in the country. They both average over 500 yards per game and we only allowed like 200

Yeah awful. White, Adams, Toliver, Beckwith, Jackson, Key and Godchuax will all be drafted in the 1st 2 rounds in their respective classes, but yeah we suck.

Happy that Ole Miss provides an opportunity to demonstrate the incredible ability of LSU's awesome defense.

They're going to move the ball, the key is just keeping them out of the end zone. Go ahead and just prepare yourself for them to have 400 yards of offense and score 16-24 points.

Im worried that your to much of a pansy. Why are there worried threads everyday. Just have fun with it and see how the teams rises or falls to the moment.

Bama allowed 43 points. They will score, we need to be able to control TOP like we did in the Mizzou game to limit their opportunities.

Aranda has them playing better every week, with regards to scoring defense. We've also limited big plays. Ole Miss is a big challenge, for sure, but if our offense does its part to keep the defense off the field, I think we can win in a convincing fashion - meaning 13 to 17 points in our favor wouldn't shock me.

Jefferson being out may hurt, as he was our best cover safety. However, DB depth isn't something we've had to worry about in a long time.

Unit has gotten better every week, making adjustments almost after every drive, and I don't believe Aranda 'has shown' everything in the cupboard to recent opponents.

I would expect a punishing DEF this Sat night. Pressure, pressure, and more pressure with Key, Bower, Neal and Godchaux getting a lot of reps as 4-man DL. LB's will come on selective plays, Beck is going to have a HUGE game. DB's are going to come up to the line and challenge Kelly and the OM receivers to beat them. I think we match up VERY well against teams like OM and TAM. More worried about the pound/ground Bama and Ark types, that can also throw the ball when needed...AKA like WISC did. Grant it that was the first game, and we have learned and adjusted. I think we keep them under 20 points, unless they get some garbage points at the end... LSU wins by 13, GT!!!

LSU is gonna miss Rickey Jefferswag this weekend. I hope Kevin Tolliver is on his A game.
