Fans telling other fans to lock in is so lame. Many wounded animals just die, fyi

Actually, majority of animals in the wild that are attacked are weaker or injured and that’s why they mauled. I think that is Florida

Good. Some timely misdirection and a couple middle screens on the offensive menu should curb that hunger.

Exactly especially on the offensive side coming off a sloppy performance where they left a ton of plays on the field last week


The issue isn’t overlooking Florida, it’s that we have a merely average QB who will never run, ever, and isn’t that accurate. We also have OL problems which, when you combine it with having an average-at-best QB is problematic for an offense.

Defense will do fine. Offense is a concern and I have a feeling we get our asses handed to us and BK will have to adjust as usual.

Still think we make the playoffs even with QB and OL problems, though.

All this talk of FLorida being "dangerous" because they're wounded, desperate, much to prove, etc., etc., etc......

They have LSU in Baton Rouge to get through. It's as if we don't exist and the impetus is on Florida to play how they need to play.
Newsflash....we are a pretty damn good team and we have a lot of say-so over this game.

People who keep saying this are weak-minded. Get a dog.

This is a wild thing to say, and I guarantee you weren't saying this coming off the Clemson game. Insane to have such an attitude about a guy who's thrown 34 touchdowns in 16 starts. I think he's earned a bad performance against a team that we were always going to beat. He did some uncharacteristic things - likely because he's working on removing some bad habits. He had a shaky year 1 with highs and lows - same can be said for very many QBs. He'll play confidently and well this week and you should come on this board and put your hand up and say you were wrong.

Last year:

He was 5th in the nation in passing yards. 3rd in completions. Second in attempts. 10th in TDs, yet he's "average"?

Nussmeier had one off game this season...and has completed 68% of his passes.

You may not think he is the best QB in LSU history. Or even the best in the nation. But every relevant statistic and NFL scout evaluations suggest he's certainly better than "average"

Are you playing Saturday?

I’m not, just watching in TV. Do I have to be locked in?

You just basically told everyone here that you don't even know what you are looking at when you watch the games.

I think Florida knows it's toast. Lsu, Miami, Texas, Texas A&M. First signs of defeat they will fold.
They all can see the schedule and r hearing their coach is heading out.
They won't get more NIL breaking bones so again if it looks like bad times ahead lots will get tuff toe.

My impressions from the Clemson game were that he didn’t blow me away and certainly not Heisman material. You’d be saying the same if we had lost. Same as Ole Miss. He had last minute heroics that “made up” for the interceptions everyone here forgot about.

He was flat out saved by officiating against USCe, that game was on HIM… and several others.

Which was fine for last year, it’s in the past, but the dude has flat out shown NOTHING different this year.

Btw his stubborn refusal to run and slide will kill drives and cost us several games this year. Heisman lol

The fact that the Tiger offense looked pretty inconsistent last week will be a wake-up call.If the offense doesn’t do better then LSUs champ aspirations are in trouble.

Seriously, does anyone think that LSU would have beaten South Florida last weekend?

Usually they just get attacked and eaten by other gators.
