I have a feeling that we are Nebraska mid 90's and good times are ahead!!

No they cannot. Florida should be the biggest test coming up until Alabama though.

Not really worried about Bama right now. LSU has some stiff competition coming up with SC (early game, over there, etc.) and Florida (all of a sudden a good team.)
I will say this though. If LSU doesn't get some passing game going soon, it could be a long day at Bama. Not to mention LSU's defense hasn't exactly shined through four games. 21 points to AU and Eastern Wash., 19 to MSU, and 24 to Syracuse. Not exactly dominant.
They are young though and will no doubt improve. I'm sure of that.
FWIW, I do think they can be in every game this year with an opportunity to win.
As long as they make a quality effort and have a want to win.

Hope you guys are right but we have seen in the past without a passing game to keep others out of the eight and nine in the box it come back t bite you in the big games.

I think the WR corps is going to be in for one hell of a week and will gain a lot from it. I think the passing game should take a big jump these few weeks.

In past years I would say they could. But I don't see any team in the country that could "shut down" the type of run game we have. Closest I saw were last year in both Bama and Ole Miss and we went 1-1 in that and damn near 2-0.
It's.. Just a different scheme. It's one of the reasons Arkansas was successful near the end of the season. It's a run game. But even though it's a toss dive left, most don't see the different blocking schemes and subtle differences that make it so tough to stop. It's no more different than trying to stop a tripple option team that you see once a year. How many teams face an offense like LSU per season? Just like the spread when it first came out. Hard to defend against something you only see one.
I personally feel that Alabama's front seven is the most talented in CFB and the best since LSU/Bama 2011. However they also aren't designed or schemed to stop the offense that we run. Sexy? No. Effective? Yes.
As per normal. NC/SEC comes down to LSU/Bama. Comes down to football. Comes down to more than this play or that. Way more than we could ever imagine.
I think we drop a game somewhere. Just too much talent across the board in the landscape we play. I will say we will be in the thick of things this year. We match up well with Alabama. They're just as one dimensional as we are. Don't let one performance fool you. Shut up. Run the ball. 3 yards and a cloud of dust.
LSU/BAMA o/u 28. Under. Welcome to technique football.

They can stop everything other than Fournette, but it's impossible to stop him
Posted on 10/5/15 at 6:49 am to dabayoubama
No. I honestly don't believe anyone will. When we execute, were pretty much unstoppable. I really believe that you'll only be able to stop LF so many times before he breaks one tackle
My only concern is that the defense continues to improve and play strong football. We're not built to play catch up, unless the WRs decide to start playing better.

they'll stack the box heavily as all teams will do and then leave their DB's on an island against our receivers.
we'll still run, but what happens if they happen to slow down LF?
Receivers have to be able to win their 1v1 matchups, which is a tall task considering they struggled with separation against EMU. Oh, but they then have to catch the ball if they're open. Tall task at the moment.

We still have 3 games before the Bama game. Lots of time to still work out the kinks. Receivers get on track and we will be fine. At least Harris is putting the ball where it needs to be in the passing game. We will be alright.
Posted on 10/5/15 at 7:17 am to dabayoubama
I'm more concerned about what will we do if/when they stop us. How will we translate to being effective passing the ball? I sure hope we got some kinks worked out by the Fla game.
Posted on 10/5/15 at 7:22 am to dabayoubama
They don't need to stop our running game. They just need to limit it to 200 yds and 2 TDs and they win.

Are you kidding? Of course they can. As can Florida and a couple others. Is it fricking crazy day on the rant? WTF

Everyone keeps saying this....every..single..week....and yet we still look like hot garbage in this department.
Time to put up or shut up about the passing game.

I can agree on much of what you've said except for bama not being schemed to stop us. They are built to stop power schemes, that's why the love big Dlinemen and linebackers. They teach 2 run a 2 gap scheme in order to control the line and give lb's they ability to penetrate. Quick footed/fast paced offenses give their scheme the most trouble.
