You know as well as I do, take Cooper out of that offense last year and they don't win the West.

It will be very interesting to see how Bama's offense does this year.

LSU will be fine, we will shock some people this year.

Verne and Gary on CBS have a hard time which team they hate worse Alabama or LSU when they play. Those two idiots have got to go. If they are anymore blatant concerning their Bias hell will freeze over.

Good lord the sunshine pumpers are out in full force this evening.


Explain how that is sunshine pumping? Auburn brings back everything on offense last year minus OT and starting RB, go 8-5. LSU loses OG, top 3 WRs, senior QB, starting RB, and goes 8-5.

Auburn loses top 2 RBs, #2 WR, starting QB, starting TE, 2 OL, are predicted to go 12-1, 13-0, top 6 in preseason polls.

This year LSU loses 2 OL, FB, 2nd and 3rd RB, are predicted to go 8-4, 7-5 and 14 in pre polls.

It's not sunshine pumping, it makes no sense to put Auburn top 6 and be ok with it, but LSU 14 and overrated.

It's more like you can't face the reality that the media doesn't look at anything deeper than the crap everybody else regurgitates.

Jeremy Johnson could be throwing ints every day and Harris could be throwing TDs everyday, but because of some preconceived notion of LSU QB play and Gus Malzahn QB play, Johnson is a heisman contender and Harris is, that chump that couldn't beat out the other worse chump.

Like I said, I saw what Cam did with real talent at QB and experienced skill players, so I'm confident in him repeating it this year.

It's perfect. The most dangerous tiger in the jungle is the one with his back against the wall. And wounded too.

Will Muschamp v. Kevin Steele... it's fricking idiotic, but its a surface analysis.

IDGAF about conference honor or whatever anymore. As long as LSU only loses one time, they will be in the playoffs. Would rather everybody else in the West tank out of conference opponents.

Has nothing to do with conference honor... history has shown that Alabama doesn't typically lose more than 1-2 games a year. I would much rather those be 1-2 conference games.

11-1 (8-0) 10-2 (7-1) doesn't help us as much as
11-1 (7-1) 10-2 (6-2)

Show me that the Tigers have a consistent quarterback and then I'll buy into their preseason top 15 rankings



Well to be fair, this is a true statement


Not really.

LSU would be very undervalued at 15 given consistent good QB play.

I agree it's the worst analysis, and if you get paid for it, you should do it right.

LSU's proven 3 in the secondary, proven MLB, decent 2nd LB, proven DTs vs Auburn's proven 6 int guy, Auburn's two proven LBs, Montravius Adams at DT, and Lawson coming off injury.

Ed O for DL, Corey Raymond for Secondary, Steele for LBs, what the hell is wrong with that setup?

What did Muschamp do against Bama last year? 672 yards 42 points. Gave Up 450 30 points against UK. True freshman Fournette ran all over UF for 140 and 2 TDs. Can his team not be scored on? That was with 3 years worth of UF defensive talent. He has a couple guys at Auburn and a bunch of transfers and freshman people are banking on. Ridiculous.

Almost any well-versed LSU fan knows the LSU 2015 roster FAR better than the CBS "experts". These guys arrive at their opinions based on the perception that LSU "can't develop a quarterback" and apply a different standard to LSU because of that. It's like Mett/OBJ/Jarvis never happened and last year and 1/9 type offenses are set in stone for LSU.

The truth is that Harris was a true freshman last year and true freshmen usually blow.Jennings had one emergency start ever before last year. But because nobody has faith in Les, they just assume our qb situation HAS to stay lousy.

So let's just hope we have a roster-wide chip on their shoulder and make these guys look like chumps.We know how good this team can be. Who cares if they don't.

I want it to be both. Doesn't have to be an either or with me.

Things change all the time. As long as we beat Bama and only lose one game from the conference, we should be good to go.

These so called experts have no clue what they are talking about as far as predictions are concerned. Their basis of their predictions is what happened last year. They are just like commentators on CNBC who are trying to tell you what the price of a stock will be at the end of 2015.

I don't see anything that is really out of order. We have a history of under developing the QB position and being incredibly predictable on offense as a whole. Our pass rush of late has been anemic. Until that changes, I don't see LSU getting back to the elite of the SEC.

you do realize that Les Miles teams have won 10 games or more the majority of the time, and the only exceptions have been when they were decimated from early entry into the NFL. This year they return 16 starters....but hey, nothing is out of order.

shite, Bama may have to start a true freshman, but they're a lock for the playoff.



You know why? Because they have always managed to find a QB regardless of experience to manage the game properly. Their QB's are coached up better and well prepared for each game. That's a fact. Whether a young AJ McCarron or an old Blake Sims with virtually zero in game experience they find ways to roll the wheels of the offense. Whether anyone likes to hear this or not it's the truth

Their DL was a joke last year, but because of Muschamp it gets automatically better



Actually yes that is exactly what will happen. They may not be great but WM will make that D instantly better then they were last year
