re: I really have no idea what to expect Saturday

It reminds me of last year (beating the mediocre Ole Miss Arkansas Missouri etc., observers believing we have made the turn). We beat an awful Florida team and an on the road to purgatory Ole Miss team. The Auburn win was good and surprising, but we let them off the hook last year. Orgeron could make a more of a case for his hiring with a good performance this weekend. What I expect is that LSU plays well for a half, wears down in the second half and gets run. I agree with you that beating terrible teams and Auburn doesn't justify the hiring, especially when you take a four touchdown beating to a mediocre State team and lose to Troy. Whether on believes it is fair or not, we need to see something that Les Miles wouldn't give you to justify replacing him with someone unqualified. If O beats Bama, he can point to that, and it would be difficult to respond to.

We lost to Auburn (that's what got Miles fired) and we lost to Florida on Guices' "zig-zag" in the backfield...we played 'Bama tough, by virtue of the 10-0 victory, which, for some reason the Tigers were not given credit for, it seemed. Now, this year, we are playing lots of young'uns and it's gonna be tough defense wise. We have enough experience on the "D" but can it last throughout the game...I don't feel victorious (esp playing in T-town)but I think we "suck it up" and play tough, but eventually wear down due to depth issues from the lack of quality OL and DL recruiting the past couple of years
