At least at this point, the second half of the season looks MUCH tougher than the first half. This is a "winnable" road game for LSU (as is Vandy in a couple of weeks). It would be nice to have this one in our pocket before getting to the second half of SEC play. Realistically, LSU could go 9-0 to start conf. play. Ole Miss and Vandy are the only remaining road games in that stretch and LSU should be favored against Florida, Alabama and Ole Miss (again) at home.


I would be absolutely shocked if we start 9-0 without Manning at this point. I'll say a slightly optimistic IMO 7-2.

Certainly losing your best bench player hurts. But looking at the schedule I don't see a game where I can say with confidence that LSU will lose.

Ole Miss hasn't been very good against good competition
I still can't figure out if Florida is really good or not
Vandy doesn't look to be very good
Bama seems to have found a spark, but I think their style and pace of play somewhat benefits LSU

Could LSU lose one or all of those games? Of course. But other than one lackluster night against ETSU no one has been able to soundly defeat this LSU team. Wade's teams seem to have developed an uncanny knack to do just enough good or just enough bad to make every game a nail biter
