This will be a battle of defenses IMO. Both DL's are really good and will give the QB's problems. Both QB's have had issues making bad decisions, so we could see some INT's from both.

I have no confidence in the Tiger offense right now. I would've predicted LSU's defense was our weak spot, but now I believe it to be the Offense. I have 0 confidence that we can pull off 2 wins agains UT & UT.
I've finally pushed aside my delusion that we are actually a really good team and have realized we are average.

Chances - who in the hell knows.

No turnovers and get rid of the charmin D - we have a chance

Turnovers + charmin + play not to lose - no chance.

I've watched several Texas games this year, I absolutely think we can beat them. So does Vegas we are a 4.5 point favorite last I saw.

Not too impressed with their offense but defensively they are legit and the dline will be the best LSU has faced this year.

Very good. We have the talent. We just need to stop shooting our self in the foot. Vegas has us - 3 1/2

I know it is a home game but I really don't see this. Texas is good when Arch is on and their DL is really good.
Maybe if I have a negative view we will win. Becuase I've had a positive veiw in all of the big games and LSU craps their pants.

I guess the bright spot is that we were able to move the ball with 450 yds against Bama, just couldn't move it when we needed it. The defense wasn't bad, I put the Bama loss on the offense.

Which is maybe one quarter in each of the games I've seen them play this year.

Some one better put some plays together for the personnel we have to open up some holes at the goal line.

I dont care who they bring in for that, just get it done already.

This is why we have losses.

Depends if Sam can learn a bit from the last game. He can’t seem to slow down enough. He can’t wait for the receiver to be completely open before passing. Has to throw to a spot. It is how the offense is designed.

I don’t think Texas secondary is as fast as Bama so just playing a cover 4 and react to the secondary read or dump off will be more difficult. That means a few more big plays after the catch.

We were a 6.5 point favorite against Bama, too.

Nobody has any clue what LSU gonna do against Texas. Or what Texas team gonna show up.

No idea.

Texas has a better defense and DL than Bama, but they have a corner (number 8) Phillips that is a complete weak point of their defense. We should be able to attack him 1-on-1 all game if we can give Leavitt time. That seems like a tall task right now especially if Weston Davis is out.

Agreed, it's been the common thread in all 3 losses, our inability to do so that is.

LSU will rebound in this game and win 27-20.

If you look at the game without bias, then you see very little chance. This team has only played 3 teams with a pulse. The record is 0-3 in these games. Anything can happen and I get fans being optimistic. I just don't understand how anyone can have supreme confidence after watching the shite show that is LSU against teams that remain ranked.

LSU was favored against Bama and KY as well, so I'm not sure that should create confidence either. QB holds the ball too long, doesn't see the field, is petrified to throw over the middle of the field, and has a weak Oline. The defense has bright moments, but has definitely not been able to be trusted in big moments. The offensive play calling has been putrid, especially in big games and in the Red Zone. Kiffin has also been erratic, with being scared when he shouldn't be and reckless when he shouldn't be. Special Teams are atrocious in every way.

You can point out weaknesses for Texas because they are there. Unfortunately, when you use a mirror, it is pretty ugly. Offense can put up stats between the 20s, but has been poor at TDs in Red Zone against decent teams. Adding everything up, there is a chance to beat TX, but it isn't a good one if the past is an indicator.

They are both very similar QB's. Prone to INT's and lock up if the 1st read isn't open. With Texas DL and our OL, there is no doubt Texas will get pressure.

Texas pissed away alot of money on skilled position players and left out the OL. The unit isn't very good.
