So do you think there are different circumstances for the underclassmen this year?
No

I think they pick that because they know it will draw interest to the game. Strong reactions.

No doubt that LSU is the superior team, but that hasn't exactly been enough of a reason to yield victories this season and in the past.
Like almost every game, we will make a close game out of it, and since Iowa is not a Top 10 team, it will probably be an ugly performance on our part.
I hope I am wrong and that we play like we are fully capable.

McGee and Hill run for over 300 yards
Jennings will run crazy
We win by 21

Well, I'm just going to project Jennings play against Arkansas.
16-27 304 yards 4 TDs 7 car 60 yards.
Realistically
16-25 237 yards 2 TDs 8 car 55 yards

Until LSU proves they can get up for these types of match ups vs apparently lesser teams and considering recent bowl performance, then this is a solid prediction. LSU has something to prove to themselves and their fan base with this performance IMHO...I am optimistic they will with Jennings leading the way ;-)

Well on the bowl preview TV program ESPN people just sort of wax on about how LSU has so many more athletes that they should win. They didn't hold out much hope at all for Iowa to win.

I ain't got no worries

Yep. ESPN is one person...

Lsu doesnt win bowl games anymore so that is an understandable prediction.
I don't like to pin results on one factor, but after LSU enjoyed a nice string of bowl wins under Miles, the subsequent lack of bowl success correlates pretty squarely with Stud running the offense. Not hating on Stud. It may have been largely because of what Miles wanted him to do. His previous stint at OC was based on Urban Meyer's spread and he was more successful in executing that. Whatever the reason, he wasn't the best fit as OC at LSU, and the offense was not very creative or difficult to scheme against, as openly stated by Clemson's DC, Venables, last year. With Cameron at OC, I don't think it will be nearly as easy for DCs to prepare.
This, of course, does not guarantee success. Iowa plays tough, mistake free football and really doesn't get blown out, so if LSU suffers the type of miscues they did in their 3 losses this year (goal line fumbles, interceptions, muffed punts, etc.), it isn't unreasonable to say Iowa will win. That being said, I'm feeling pretty optimistic about the Tigers going into this one.

The boys and coach Miles are likely embarrassed and ashamed to be in this bowl. No way they come out ready to play. Should be a close game.

Thank you, ESPN, for the bulletin board material.

They're doing what they can to protect their brand (SEC).

A few notes...
1) This is a really cool board. It takes a bit of time to get used to / appreciate the culture, so I'm glad the admins make a guy wait 3-4 days before they allow him to post.
2) 85% of America-ESPN.com fans believes that LSU will win this game, per the ESPN.com poll. Most everyone believes in LSU.
3) I have great appreciation for the confidence you have in your team, and I think this match up is great for both squads. Having read through pages and pages of posts and threads, the one thing that is almost certainly taken for granted is that Iowa is motivated and will show up prepared for this game (and they will). Unless you're looking for a weak sister to play against to cap your season off, I would proffer that this match up is EXACTLY what is BEST for your team moving forward. I do believe the LSU team will be well prepared and ready for this game. Miles knows that he is in for a fight and will have their attention.
4) I would argue that at this point, Iowa is the better TEAM and LSU, by quite a margin, has the better talent. Agree or disagree, even at 9-3 this year, LSU is in a developmental mode. The issues they have aren't talent related, but rather rooted in errors/issues with communication and alignment. That is related to their youth, and if you really look at it, is incredible that they were able to post 9-3.
5) It bears mentioning that LSU begins the season in Houston against Wisconsin, and the one team that is closest to Wiscy is....Iowa. This is great prep for that game. BTW, those bastard Badgers sneakily have the #6 Defense in the country (they lose 7 after this year).
I know the older cats on this board will understand where I'm coming from, and the younger guys will have a high degree of skepticism, but I will make this one, simple prediction: Playing against Iowa will be the best thing for the LSU team, and vice-versa for Iowa...and it has nothing to do with LSUs record, rank or brand. It simply has to do with the opportunity to play a good team.
I'll see some of you down in Tampa and hope to have a great pre- and post-game experience...you were great in the Cap One and am expecting the same if not more in 2014.
Geuad Luck.
