I've been browsing Texas forums and the most common theme of why Texas will win is because SEC defenses suck... They believe that SEC defenses are not designed to stop up-tempo air raid offenses and only good against smashmouth 1970s offense. It is hilarious how wrong they are. They think the SEC defenses have good numbers because all sec offenses suck, so therefore sec defense sucks, which means (insert worthless big12 defense) has a better defense than LSU. Therefore Texas will score 40 points on LSU, and there is no way LSU could score enough points on Texas' superior defense to compete.

Transitive property?

Edit: they do have a great QB, which is why they can score many points. But they think he is good enough to score 40-50 points on likely the best secondary in the country. That is just blindness. I do not expect a blow out, but I do expect a 7-14pt LSU win.

According to the ones I’ve encountered, this is why they will win:

1. “wE bEaT gEoRgIa”

2. They think Ehlinger is the Tom Brady of college football.

3. Herman walks on water.

4. “They’re BAAAAACKK!” (Insert eye roll)

If they're going with, "SEC defenses suck," then they literally are retarded. Good gracious.

Probably going to walk away a little shell shocked.

God forbid some folks a top 10-ranked team’s fan base think they can win a home game. The absolute horror.

The factors I keep seeing mentioned are:

1) superior coaching
2) superior QB
3) our ineptitude in last year’s Bama game
4) home field advantage
5) their success against Georgia
6) our new offense is what their defense sees every week (and LSU - in our 2nd game - will not be as adept at it as other Big XII teams)
7) Herman’s history of success when an underdog

Did I mention they have zero respect for Coach O???

They are also the Mecca of college football

- Who’s Tom Herman anyway?

As far as I can tell Texas has a very good QB. And Herman has recruited well. Talented but inexperienced defense.

Yep the big 12 runs a lot of spread and RPO looking stuff. The QB accounted for 40 touchdowns last year. Only 5 interceptions.

Big Challenge. For LSU.

Pretty sure LSU wins by 7 to 10 points

I’ve had a Texas fan yapping in my ear through text for 2 weeks. They really think they have a chance. They are delusional! I’m just sitting back and enjoying this ride

1. They may have a superior head coach, I’ll take LSU’s staff and players over Texas
2. For now they have a right to believe they have a superior QB
3. Texas ain’t Bama
4. Home field advantage is always a factor
5. Congrats on beating Georgia
6. They are used to seeing this offense with inferior athletes in the Big 12 with a few exceptions.
7. Maybe by kickoff Texas will be the favorite, and we can go all Maryland on them.

They claim they smashed Georgia but only beat a unmotivated Georgia team by 7

I do love that 2 years in a row we will get to break a team "that is back" early in the season I hope we destroy them and put them on the same track we put Miami on last year. From "back" to having a new coach.

They do realize that the games at 630 right? The "heat" won't effect our boys at all. And I hope this guy comes and enjoys our humidity next fall in tiger stadium.
