I'm only slightly nervous this week. It feels like a game that, in the past, would have been close, but ultimately we win because of home field advantage.

This offense gives us so much more room for error though.

For some reason, the Florida fans from YouTube and twitter, keep bringing up last year.
I've heard at least 100 of Florida's fans say that they can't believe everyone thinks Lsu wins, because of the way we played them last year.

Are Florida fans that stupid? If they have watched us play, how can they not see the difference in our offensive philosophy from this year to last?

So I think a blowout of Florida could put us at number 2 or 3 in the nation, even if everyone wins.

The question is, what do you consider a blowout? Is it just covering the spread? I'd say the spread, plus a td is a blowout. So that would be a 20 to 21 point win.

I find this possible but unlikely, I'd be very impressed if we score over 28 and they score 10 or so.

What do y'all think?

Spread plus an additional TD is the spread if over 10 or so. Plus, generally controlling the game.

IMO, winning by anything more than 16 pets (2 TDs with 2-pt conversions).

Yep, I consider winning by 3 scores (17+ points) to be a blowout

I would say a game like LSU-Auburn in 2003. That game was thought to be close but LSU routed them 31-7. Same with Va Tech in 2007 but even worse.

A blowout is like pornography: you know it when you see it.

I hate that I’m so confident in the outcome. A blowout to me is 20+

classic rule of thumb throught the decades is an 18 point win is a blowout

win by 3 TD's minus the EP's.

just a double digit win of say 10 to 14 is NOT a blowout by any means although score may not be indicative of beating on field............
