Added to which they can't run the ball to somewhat control TOP to help the defense out
WRs like Parker and AA have been stepping up, so while we don’t have a star I like how we’ve spread the ball around.
Key to defense will be Weeks. He plays more like a true LB than Perkins, not necessarily more talented, but I don’t think offenses will rip off as many chunk plays.
DB is still weak.
Ole Miss is beatable, but will be locked in after the KY loss. Bama will be a problem.

I’m happy as hell the bama game is in Death Valley. That alone gives us a punchers chance

They’ll lose to Bama, at least one of A&M or Arkansas, and potentially one of UF or Oklahoma.
8-4 team

His playoff bracket predictions thread starts at 23:47 but tbh I agree. If we take care of business vs ole Miss I truly think we run the table outside of bama.
Agreed however, 9-3 or 8-4 (God forbid) appear more likely given all the massive injuries we suffered so early, holding out for another 9-3 though

If we split the Ole Miss and Alabama game 10-2 is very attainable. It’s not crazy to think this team can finish 10-2.
We also have to TCB on the road against Arky and A&M, won't be easy but I think we'll do it

UF is a complete dumpster fire and we’ve own them lately. Have beaten them 4 straight times even during seasons where we are horrible (2020),
Oklahoma is not winning in Death Valley , A&M and Arkansas will def be tricky games tho since their on the road but thr rest of your games outside of bama i absolutely see us winning idk why your so low on the team

Sure but outside of the 2020 and 2018 the games are always dog fights in Death Valley it isn’t like they consistently blow us out here

Have the injuries really been "massive"? Certainly they don't help and it would be nice to have those guys available, but from a production standpoint I wouldn't classify any as "massive"
Emery had a good game vs. USC. But in his 6 year college career (when eligible) he's often had 1-2 good games. However, he's NEVER been consistent and there was no reason to think that would be the case even after USC.
Guillory is a solid player. You'd love to still have him on a DL that needs all the bodies it can get. But he's never been a game changing player to the point where you would call his injury "massive"
The harsh reality with Perkins is that he has been living off the hype from the 2022 stretch, peaking in the Arkansas game, where he was the most impactful defender in all of college football. Unfortunately, in the 20 or so games since that Arkansas game he hasn't been that player. He's had fleeting moments of being that guy, but nothing consistent. Even this year. Yes, you want him available. But it's not like LSU is losing the guy fresh off of dominating Arkansas. Hell, LSU's defense and, especially, LBs just had their best game of the season this past week. Obviously the level of competition had a lot to do with that. But it does make you wonder.

Exactly. Most of that win/loss record was pre-2000.

Did he even look at their remaining schedule? Not likely.

This is interesting. Isn't Klatt usually negative about LSU?
Posted on 10/4/24 at 11:27 am to Cd104
We need to get pass Ole Miss first. We are a decent team. Not great. Decent. That means mentally tough football
Posted on 10/4/24 at 1:10 pm to Cd104
Would love to get a rematch with USC in the playoff
Posted on 10/4/24 at 1:23 pm to Cd104
Definitely plausible. I think they beat Ole Miss, Arkansas, Florida, Vanderbilt, Oklahoma. I picked them to drop both A&M and Alabama, but they do catch Bama at home off a BYE, and A&M really isn’t that good ultimately. (They do catch LSU at a great time—at home, back-to-back road trips after a big home game. LSU probably survives the letdown against Arkansas, but having to get back up and go against A&M on the road next week is a lot to ask.)
I think 8-4 is the realistic floor. There are five realistically loseable games left, but I don’t see them dropping OU at home, and I don’t see them dropping all 3 of Ole Miss/Arkansas/A&M. And frankly every game, including Bama, is winnable.
I hope he’s right!

And last time Saban alabama came into Tiger Stadium how did that work out?
What is your absolutely terrible point with zero explanation that you are trying to make?

OU game to end the year wont be a cakewalk. they will be healthy and the true freshman QB will have played 9 games.

Buddy has not watched the games this season.
Posted on 10/4/24 at 2:08 pm to Cd104
Very possible they could go 7-1 just as they could also go 5-3 . It’s all about getting good breaks vs bad ones
Posted on 10/4/24 at 2:25 pm to Cd104
Look at the way we are trending vs the way our opponents excluding Bama are trending. It’s not a wild take to say this.
Ole Miss was exposed and depending on how they look Saturday I really like our chances at home.
A&M is tricky but Nuss can get it done. Thanks to SC giving him SEC road game experience.
Arkansas same as A&M but Arkansas just isn’t that good.
Oklahoma has a legit defense but their offense is bad and have a ton of injuries. Who knows if they’ll be back by then. If it were on the road I wouldn’t love our odds but I can see LSU handling this one.
Bama is a long shot but it being at home makes it a little less of a long shot. My hope is keep it competitive that way the CFP doesn’t drop LSU far after losing it.
Where’s the lie?
