One of the more in depth statistical analyses I've seen recently, actually.


Yep.

But not sure how they have LSU favored in 11 games, but set the win total at 8.9?

I'm pretty sure we were favored in all games but Bama last year too.
Seems like people just forget this crap every year only to get their hopes up. Listen, expect 9-3 and hope for better.

Everyone is looking past BYU. Seems like Wisconsin last year. Obviously, hope I'm wrong. Still.....

Well the numbers don't lie. So. There is just no way that our offense won't be much improved then last years. Plus with LSU putting a premium on TO ratio, and ST this year, I really do expect a huge return. This season can't get here soon enough. I'm ready for the chatter to cease and the scoreboard to light up.

Why do certain people make such a big deal over this? We got two years in a row so they will. So what, it's not like we can't win at FL. That team is a disaster at this time so I can't see us losing to them really.

What? They didn't even hire a st coordinator. And when did the past coaches not teach ball security or have players on d that got turn overs?

Yet our TO margin was 67th in the nation. Apparently it wasn't enough, so they are working this year to turn that around. Yes they did hire a special teams consultant to help the coaching staff. If they change the number of coaches to 10 he will then be officially hired.

It's been said by the HC himself that they are going to try to turn these two areas around this year. Maybe you don't believe what he's said but I believe that they are going to put extra effort into becoming more aggressive in both areas which would help the team.

Most of the fan base is not giving O a pass. He has to do better than Miles.

while i like Bill C's articles usually i just don't see how we'll make it beyond 9-3. 5 SEC road games is insane and the o line issues are very alarming. we'll drop bama, probably florida, and most likely a stupid game we shouldn't lose.


While I agree that Florida will be a struggle on the road, Auburn appears to be the best team (not named Alabama) in the SEC with the addition of the QB.

I agree with this.... but I don't think that 10-2 is out of realm of possibility. I need to see the offense first.
