I mean... they literally have to pick Tigers, no?


There's only one true Tiger in this game. The other school has an identity crisis. Tigers, Plainsmen, War Eagle.

I would likely pick Auburn but what has Auburn done on offense against anybody with a pulse that scares you. They beat a good Washington team. LSU beat a good Miami team. I would pick Auburn because they are good at home. IF this game was at Tiger Stadium I would pick LSU.

We both played pulse-less teams, and they looked just a bit better than we did.

They didn't learn their lesson in week 1 I guess.


You really shocked by this?

LSU is a 10pt dog

The Home team has dominated this series, think 18-21 has been the home team.

LSU hasn't won there since 08?

I think LSU goes in there and gets the Win, but I put no weight in any reporters pick.

No, and neither did you It was 42-2 at half time. Subtract 14 for the defensive scores. They didn't have problems moving the ball.

Yeah, only a real loser would think their team has a shot at winning a big game.

Against a team they came back from 20 the previous year and were literally one second away from beating the year before that.


You don’t get it. This is literally the worst matchup in this series for LSU in many years. I would love to be wrong for the sake of the players. Wish I was wrong, but you can’t be remotely honest with yourself & pick LSU. This game can easily get out of hand quickly.

LSU hasn’t played offense in the second half of either of its games. While that might prove to hurt us in terms of development, it may also prove that we can continue to score when we need to.




I hope so. It could also prove that other teams adjust their defense at the half. Let's hope for the former.

Extremely ignorant. We were more outmatched last year and 2014 for sure. This defense is the real deal. Not saying we win but we aren't outmatched where we have no chance. It's gonna be a close game.

#1 we beat them last year with Orgeron

#2 our defense will keep us in every game

#3 o line should be better this week with the return of charles

#4 I think auburn is a tad overrated

What has LSU's offense done to give them enough confidence to pick us? Defense obviously speaks for itself.


LSU’s offense scored 26 on Miami who’s D has couple of possible future NFL players and a team that was ranked in top 10. Sure they sleepwalked their way thru SLU, but shut them out and won 31-0. I think in any given week there are several cupcake games that really good teams over look. Looking ahead to one of your biggest games in the schedule is very very common.

You said they looked good, but didn’t even watch the game. You don’t exactly have a basis of comparison yet are trying to draw conclusions from it. How good is Alabama state and did they even put up a fight? SLU actually did although they aren’t very good.

I think the week 1 games are a bit more comparable, I watched them both, and think these teams are more even than 10 pts.

There are these things called stats and highlights. You should check them out sometime.

If SELA played Alabama St at a neutral field, who would win?
