Last year, the one team I didn't think we could beat was West Virginia with the true spread offense. Arkansas proved that, even though not a true spread, LSU would have a hard time defending against a team with a running quarterback. I think Appy State is going to give LSU a game, even though we clearly have superior talent. I just think it is very hard to defend an offense with a quarterback who is as fast as a running back.

God no, even espn picked us to win 35-7 and they hate us. Our defense is going to give up a touchdown when we have our second team in.

Er yes, I am extremely concerned that we will not be able to perform a 'wofford' and shut AE down

Just rewatch the Ole Piss game if you want to get nervous....


ETA: Oh wait, even Ole Piss is more talented...!

We've had 8 months to prepare for Appy States offense.

I think we have to be worried about them because of the Michigan game. But I also think our boys took notice of that and will be amped up and ready to play.

Ready is one thing, but I hope our DBs and new QB are physically able to do the job against App State.

I am not concerned about our ability to stop them. I worry about our ability to execute on offense. I think it will be low scoring and very uncomfortable for us. Tulane hung around for a half last year.

Really worried? No.

Worried? Yes. But only because I worry about every game.

Miles has proven to be very good given time to prepare.

Where to start?
First Mcfadden beat us, not a running QB, not a spread
Second we beat UF, who's QB'd by a running QB, who runs a spread
Third WV choked against Pitt
Fourth WV would've got their shite kicked in had we played
Fifth you're comparing App St to WV, apples and oranges when it comes to talent levels

If I were an LSU fan I wouldn't be too worried...yes, I think we should be able to put up some points (21 ish), but I have a serious concern about our front 4 matching up with your front 4....there is an obvious size difference, but I think y'all will control the line of scrimmage and just wear us down throughout the game.

I hope I am dead wrong, but I thinks its reality.

GO NEERS!!

You realize there is an offense and a defense correct? App St has one of the worst defenses in 1-AA but you think they can stop us? They'll probably score 14-21 points, but I really believe we'll be in the 42-49 range. Stop worrying because you have about as good a chance at winning the lottery as App does of beating us after they've already knocked off Michigan.

I'm very worried about Appy State. Some of their kids could really get hurt out there.

Lsu doesnt lose games that it has plenty of time to prepare for. that is why we always win bowl games. too much talent with a good game plan. when we lose it is usually mid to late season with many key injuries.
