I think we start seeing the defense we are known for form here on out

From your keyboard to God's eyes...they have been underwhelming after GASO.

I know but I am really hoping they turn it around...then worry about being able to run at will against teams and we have a great shot at #4

as long as it's not raining cats and dogs like our last game, I think we might (just MIGHT) have a chance to give you guys a good game on offense.

59-24

They throw it well with a really good QB that would start on most teams in America, including most SEC teams.

Our defense plays well, but they get a few shots in. It will be excellent practice for our DBs and LBs in coverage.

Starts with UF.

Utah State attempts the 6th most passes per game in the country. That can crush their own defense and it has in some games, but it will usually put points up.

They are 6th in passes per game and 118th in Time of Possession

Think Washington State, Texas Tech, Purdue, etc. That volume of passing.

I am very interested in seeing how the defense fares Saturday. May they be focused and edgy.

I hope not. LSU defense has something to prove.

Not sure <20 is the true measure anymore with LSU scoring so many times.

Points per drives defended, or stops as a percentage of opponent's drives may be better measures. point differential, is another

And the strength of the opponent is a factor.

Can we stop saying without Jefferson he’s going to play why is this still being speculated

No. Not as long as soft zone, no pressure, Aranda is here.

After watching 2 of Utah Sts fames the only way I see them putting up 20+ is by either connecting on bombs or our offense turning it over giving them good field position.


I think we see much better tackling limiting their running game and keeping their passing game short making them sustain drives.
Jordan Love loves the deep bombs down the field. I expect our DBs to jam their receivers which forces Loce to stay in the pocket.

63-24, and anyone who is unsatisfied with that result

It all depends on how the "24" is accomplished. If it's all second half that's fine. If it's all first half and LSU is trailing at any point in time, that's a problem

They likely score more than 20. But a chunk of that will be in garbage time well after the game has been decided and we are up by 3 or more touchdowns

I hope so, but I’m predicting they get 27.
