Big week to see where Orgeron is as a coach

If y'all come out and dominate after the type of emotional win we saw last week, that would speak volumes about who Orgeron is as a coach and for your direction as a program

I agree with this.

I hope SLU was because of the O line but LSU hasn't had the killer instinct since Little Nicky.

I've said it before--Tech can and will put up points against pretty much anyone. DBU needs to show up against a real air-raid offense and impress. Next, this offense needs to show that's it's truly a meshed, well-oiled machine. We need to see what we should have seen against Southeastern.

I agree.

The best coaches don't have bad let down games.

Well said.

O has to make sure they know there were still a ton of mistakes vs. Auburn and that LSU hasn't played their best game yet. Keep them hungry and angry.

pretty much. LSU will probably come out flat and finish Tech off in the second half, but if O wanted to show that this team has some 2011 in them, they will go into halftime with a 35-3 lead.

If I was Orgeron, tell the truth Monday would be very unpleasant.

I'd be so focused on what we did wrong, you'd probably think we'd lost the game. I'd be on them all week telling them they're not nearly as good as they think they are.

Please give me your list of best coaches that have never had a letdown game.

Sort of agree, but been around LSU long enough to know we will win, but win ugly.

Likely get out to a 21 point lead then not sniff another TD or FG and rely on the defense to hold them off.

This.
It's the culture of LSU football, and it goes back to the 1980s. The let-down games, the playing down to your opponents level or playing up to your opponents' level.

Even since 1/9/12, we played with Alabama, the score wasn't indicative of how hard our defense played, and even in the losses ever since, we've been toe-to-toe with them, on the whole, save for the scoring. They're better than LSU, but LSU played with them and forced them to suffer for those wins against the Tigers.

But, in comes Troy; in comes SLU which should have, given the talent and size disaprity, been 56-0, 63-0. You know, as a kid, I don't recall Coach Mac's teams ever letting up against inferior competition in Tiger Stadium. But since Mike Archer, at least, LSU schedules these wildly inferior teams and struggles against them.
