every other game has some meaning. troy is not this bad.

just 2 things I can think of to keep an interest in this game. 1. the focus of the team. can the staff keep the team focused to take care of business? none of this letting Chattanooga hold onto the ball and us not scoring until late in the second quarter. 2. will miles brennan get a quarter or more of play and get to sling the ball?

after this, the season starts and keeps picking up steam. Geaux tigers!

I really want to see the defense shut out the first two teams of the season.

this game has ultimate meaning if a Louisiana newspaper runs an article that rocky top is chatanooga's song and not Tennessee.

in 2000 a Tennessee paper said tiger stadium is dead and the football gods smote Tennessee.

so if a Louisiana paper says that rocky top is not Tennessee's song the the football gods will smite LSU.

That will be interesting to look for. For years, we have had a history of being sluggish in these games. Jacksonville State, Furman, Towson, Eastern Michigan, etc. are all examples of this. It would be an encouraging sign of improved discipline and mental focus if we come out sharp and put the game away early.

imo, a game like this is needed for the team, esp a team as young as we are. and I also like it as the second game of the year as opposed to the first. face it, it is a "practice game" and should be used to hone some skills, improve on the previous week and continue to give the QB's more reps. we could give our #2 QB a whole quarter to play; even a half, and with the #1's so he can get meaningful experience if and when we need him later in the year.

I don't like "saving plays" for later; I think we should open the playbook up some. so MSU sees them. we can beat this team with vanilla plays but I think our guys need to play new plays in a game. also, we should be able to work on the weaknesses in game one, esp our red zone failures. this game affords us the freedom to throw to the EZ more as we should be able to overcome a turnover.

Just 10 years ago when LSU played a rent-a-win team you had to buy it on your Satellite TV for 25 dollars. Now all the LSU games are on TV for free. Count your blessings.

Just like some young boys need a good whore to bolster their confidence and get them started, teams need a whore-game or two to iron out a few kinks and get some kids used to playing college football. Most of the time you can recover from your mistakes in these types of games. The other point is that LSU will have plenty of opportunities to get into bad-assed beat-up games when they get into the meat of their SEC schedule.

A much needed game after all the suspensions in game 1. Will get to work out more kinks...

You only get to see LSU play 11 to 15 times a year, they all have meaning.

One game in, and this fricking guy is bitching that football isn't good enough. Die already.

I'm anxious to see Brennan chunk it around a little.

Since NCAA doesn't have preseason, tune up wins like this are required.

Bitch or enjoy is up to you.

This game will serve to get these young guys some more quality reps in game situations. Also gives them their first taste of a game in Death Valley after the sun goes down.
