Or realists that see that Bama is a better team.
Its really hard to find fans that can truly be objective. No P&G tinted glasses.
Our D is good, but not great.
We barely squeaked out a win vs a horrendous Auburn team
We struggled with LA Tech. It was a 3 point game in the 4th. We gave up 330 yards and 3 TDs in the air.
We lost to Flordia when there was no way we shouldn't have.
I want us to win. I really do. I get sick to my stomach when we lose. People really need to look at the team we are facing and realize that they are good. Take off the Bama hate fueled glasses and just look at the team with no logo or affiliation.
Their QB is completing at 70%, with 25TDs and 0 interceptions. Their defense is solid. Yea you can say that their team hasn't played anyone. Outside of Georgia and Florida, We haven't either. Miami, unranked. Auburn unranked. Miss St. 22nd. Will probably finished unranked.
Against inferior opponents, Tua is lighting them up. The kid doesn't even play in 4th quarters. If he did, he would be the heisman lock. It wouldn't be close.
vs Ole Piss
Burrow : 292 with 3 TDs.
Tua : 192 yards 2 TDs at half time (didnt play in second half lol)
Againt SEL, burrow was 151 with 2 TDs.
Against Ark St., Tua was 228 with 4 TDs, didnt play the 4th.
They have probably the best QB in college football. They have 2 phenomenal receivers in Jeudy and Ruggs. This isn't even mentioning Irv Smith and DeVonta Smith. We gave up 330 yards in the air vs Tech. Its going to be a tall order shutting down 2-3 guys.
Im just being as real as I can be. We have to have bama play horrible and we play our best or Tua get hurt. This is the only way we win. If bama brings their best, its over. We cannot win throwing 50% , with our receivers dropping balls. Our offense is horrible in comparison to theirs. We have to hold them to 20-24 points and I just dont see that happening.
I hope im proven wrong though.

Yep... except in 2010 we won. They were better than us... in 2012 Bama much better than LSU. They won in OT. They tied it on last possession.. in 2014 Bama much better than LSU. Bama wins on last possession. in 2016 again Bama much better than LSU. One possession game.
The last 4 years maybe even 6 years Bama was clearly superior to LSU on the line of scrimmage. Much closer to parity this year. Bama is better at QB. The Gap at QB is not as big as the last few years. Can our O line perform and give Burrow some time. Can our receivers get any separation Can we stop the run and cover. We have the last three years. We just have not been able to move the,ball enough.

thinking we have no chance is not being real. you can recognize that alabama should be favored, but it's extraordinarily negative to think we have no chance.

All your points are true and accurate but you can look at it another way that is also
Accurate. If this was a best of 3 or 5 series like Baseball, I would agree there was literally almost no chance LSU could win more than 1 game out of 3 or 5 or 7 for sure. On paper it just isn’t likely.That’s the awesome news it’s not a 7 game series— LSU just has to be better for one game on one day (Saturday) and shock the world.
Put it like this—would you say there was a better shot of LSU winning at home against this All-world Bama team on Saturday or maybe the absolutely dreadful Buffalo bills winning at the Minnesota Vikings (a team some consider a legitimate Super Bowl contender)a few weeks ago as 17 point road underdog? Most people would probably say LSU. Well, turns out Buffalo won quite comfortably in Minnesota for the biggest upset (according to Vegas lines) in 25 years.
I am looking at this game like the 1997 Florida game. LSU was a -16.5 home underdog
and on paper there wasn’t a chance in hell LSU should be anywhere near having a chance to win. Spurrier had won 7 straight (sound familiar?) games against LSU including boat racing us 56-13 the year before. All it took was a few big plays in the first half to get the crowd absolutely insane and it turned into a dog-fight that LSU ended up winning. LSU probably loses that game 49 out of 50 times on paper but on that particular October Saturday in 1997– LSU was the better team on the field. Why can’t LSU be that team this upcoming Saturday ?

If our offense is abysmal and our defense is good not great how are we 7-1?
The Auburn game was at Jordan-Hare with them having everything to play for at the time.. that was a good win
You say “we lost to Florida when there is no way we shouldn’t have” ...if we don’t fumble on the second drive in the red zone and go up 14-0, the swamp is silenced and we win that game
The offense has been inconsistent but abysmal is a stretch...they’ve scored on 80-90% of our opening drives this year. We haven’t done that in a LONG time.
In years past, if we were down by a TD or more against a good team it was over. Burrow has shown he can drive the ball the length of the field if need be to win a game.

Combined records of Bama's opponents...29-36. Lsu...42-23. Doesn't say a whole lot but on paper Bama hasn't faced a "D" like ours...with or without D. White for 2 qtrs. I am optimistic that this team is different from years past. Anyone else have them at 7-1 at this point in the season? I didn't think so! At best I figured 7-5 if not 6-6 and Coach O on the hottest seat in CFB.

LSU can win this game but that depends on which offense shows up.
If the offense performs like they did in the Georgia game, I think we win. And I believe it will be by at least 10 points.
If the offense performs like they did in the first half of the Mississippi State game or the second half of the SE Louisiana game, we're gonna be in trouble. That's my take on it.
The concern I have is, we've only played one game all year where the offense didn't go thru some kind of disappearing act for a quarter or two of each game, and that was the Georgia game.
The defense should be able to keep us in the game. It's gonna be on the offense to win it, in my opinion.
