I say 10-2.

Maybe not realistic, but it's hard enough admitting that 2 of these frickin frikkers are going to beat us. Gotta admit, A&M looked really impressive. That QB is the real deal. Speedy looked good as a freshman player out there as well.

What's funny is that it seems that the teams that got no respect on the SEC network played much better than predicted. Nothing like disrespect to motivate you to prove everyone wrong. Worse, when they're giving your team all the love, you believe that BS as much as the BS about how bad your opponents are going to be. It's like a double trap.

Good new is, after this week, teams won't be able to catch others with their pants down like A&M did to USCe.

After taking a W tonight, the sky's the limit.

10-2 probably, 11-1 maybe if we get by Florida.

11-1. Jennings is better than I expected and we might actually be able to get pressure. If you can get pressure on Wisconsin, you can get pressure on anybody. Our secondary and WR are elite. Our O-line is good. Our RB's are stacked and our special teams is solid as all ways. frick 9-3. That's pussy shite. Only team I think has an advantage over us is AU, and that's only because it's in Jordan Hare.

9-3 with losses Auburn, Alabama and A&M. Florida is no gimme either if Mr. Jennings doesn't improve significantly.

Typically a Team makes its most improvement from Week 1 to Week 2 in a Season.

Les just absolutely felt like magic tonight. It honestly felt like the win was scripted, and he was never worried. We won in dominating fashion after a rough first half, which, again, Les seemed totally unconcerned with.

We win 10 in the regular season. Finish with 11 wins. Win the title next year.

If they pick up steam they could be real good. Need to get a complete game together, I was impressed with Jennings and I believe LF is for real, if miles allows it he will break out in a big way and when he does look out. Need to keep involving the TEs and stop with all the run run pass stuff and use way more play action quick pass to either the backs or TEs idc that we missed 1 throw and Dickson fumbled, take Dickson out and throw more than once and he would catch done passes. Why not use our big boy from John Curtis as a pass catcher too? Idk bc he isn't to bad. D need to pick it up and I see why Beckwith isn't playing. I also see why BH isn't playing, but he will be very good once he knows the offense and has the confidence to lead this team. LF will be live one of these games watch. If LSU doesn't get any better then 9-3 if LSU gets better every game I could see 11-1 or 10-2. I'm pretty sure we lose the first away game. I think we could very well beat bama this year, but watch out for Tam, MS, and OM. Dangerous teams if hot.

7-5 or 8-4 like before the game. Sometimes you're just do for a 02 or 08 season while you rebuild.

same as i've said earlier 9-3 or 8-4. we can easily lose to auburn, Bama, TAMU, ole miss, Uf or arky.

we always have at least 1 game a year we crap the bed and are not prepared. ole miss last year and it could be arky on the road this year. anything can happen in the sec.

Based solely on games I watched (except TAMU/USCe, but I saw highlights and the box score)

quote:

Sam Houston W
UL Monroe W
Mississippi St W
New Mexico St W
#6 Auburn L
Florida N/A
Kentucky W
#18 Ole Miss W
#2 Alabama W
Arkansas L
#21 Texas A&M W


TAMU can pass, but we played without Robinson and without Collins for like most of the 4th quarter, and defended/intercepted McEvoy's only decent passes. Their secondary is still warm piss.

Arky's run game is serious and Brandon Allen is better than McEvoy. They did have a pretty bad secondary, but we struggle with them most years.

Ole Miss is too light in the arse at RB, and they were thrown on fairly well. They do however play us closer than anyone yearly, but Bo Wallace is a bit Jekyll/Hyde in his decision making.

Bama does not look good outside of the run game and run defense. Secondary was awful and WVU would have put up 500 had the WRs caught the ball. The passing game was decent against a terrible pass defense though.

Auburn can pass or run extremely well whichever they choose. The defense tightened up on the run game after the storm too. I have had this as my definite loss for about a month now. Secondary is still trash though, which gives us a chance with AJ and the WR/TE/RB pass catching improvement.

Of course this is only going off what I actually watched this week (I watched all the actual decent games except for the TAMU one). All these teams can improve or get worse. The West looks like a war zone.

With what I saw from Jennings and the young WRs with no run game to rely on in the 3rd and early fourth quarter, I think we are only scratching the surface of our potential. Add that to Fournette when he finally gets in the groove with Hiliard and Magee, and we are going to look ridiculous on offense.

The defense was missing a lot of guys on it's 2 deep, but they showed some resiliency after taking 3 rounds of straight body blows. Wisky never got the chance to deliver a knockout blow, and that was because of our great DB play when we sold out to stop the run.
