LSU skull fricks Ole Piss all night

If you think LSU is going to win this game comfortably, you might want to see a doctor.
When Ole Miss has been bad—like in 2017 and 2019—the crowd wasn't much of a factor, and LSU handled business comfortably.
But look at 2013 and 2015. We had experienced quarterbacks, more talent top to bottom, and still walked into a feverish Oxford crowd and lost both games.
We'll just pretend 2021 never happened.
In 2023 and 2025, LSU should've won. We were certainly more talented than Ole Miss in 2023. I'll put that one on BK and a hungry road crowd.
My point is this: the 2013, 2015, 2023, and 2025 teams all had more experience in their systems than this year's team. I'd argue all those teams also had more overall talent than this year's team (on offense in particular, excluding '25), plus A COACH WHO WASN'T IN HIS THIRD GAME at a new school. Ole Miss isn't significantly worse than last year—the best team they've ever had—and this game is arguably more hyped than any of those previous trips to Oxford combined.
That's why I think this will be an extremely difficult challenge for a first-year coach with a new quarterback coming off injury who, so far, hasn't exactly looked comfortable on the road in an SEC environment.
I mean, can we step back as a fan base and acknowledge that LSU is 2–5 in the last seven games in Oxford? We have struggled for whatever reason.
I've always been a glass-half-full LSU fan, but after last season, there has definitely been a funk around the program. I believe that's been cleaned up, and this game is so massive to eradicate lingering residue. It will set the trajectory of the season and the program. It's one of the biggest games LSU has played in years.
I get it, transfer portal cures everything. We filled holes. I, too, love to put blind faith in transactional plug-and-play players, but until I see them play two full games together as a TEAM, I don't know how anyone can be so confident about going on the road in a hostile environment against one of the best teams in the league.

So? If Kiffin is the coach everybody says he is, and LSU has the talent to be a playoff team (which I truly believe they do) then the Tigers should welcome the challenge of playing in Oxford, not fear it.
You making up arguments in your head?

Wow. Lotsa words. We’ll see. I dont put much weight in the past. Different players and coaches. But ok my guy

Challenge is only half of the equation. Talent is the other half, and I believe LSU has on balance better players and better coaching. And I can't visualize Chamblee toying with the Tiger defense again.

I don’t want to be a Debbie downer but I do not expect us to win this game. I still think we ultimately end up having a better season than Ole Miss though. Never forget the 01 Tigers lost at home to Ole Miss early in the year and may have been the second best team in the nation behind Miami at year’s end. We would have made some real noise in a 12 team playoff.

I don’t want to be a Debbie downer but I do not expect us to win this game.
By and large, our defense did a solid job against Ole Miss last year. If we could have put some offense together in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, I think we win.
Kiffin is now here, he retained Blake Baker and a lot of that defense is back. Kiffin knows what does and doesn't work for Chambliss. And he knows Golden's defensive tendencies. And let's remember Kiffin actually knows defense via his father, he's so successful offensively because he knows how to attack a defense.
I said it before, I think Ole Miss will look good in the first half, and Kiffin will wait til the second half to unleash his actual game plan. He's not going to give Golden a halftime to try to figure things out, he'll have to do it on the sideline in real time. I do think we'll have more of a running game in the first half, just to burn clock and keep the defense fresh.

Both are true - I think Ole Miss made a good hire with John David Baker at OC, he will be able to keep the uptempo offense going, but he's not Lane Kiffin. Baker on Baker (their O vs our D) is where this game will be won or lost, and I will take our Baker in year 3 with a returning Whit Weeks over their Baker in year 1. LSU 28 Ole Miss 17

We took a worse team with a worse HC & OC in there last year and lost by 5 to a better team and better HC & OC than they will have this year. We should be the favorites.

There is no sense in predicting that game when we haven't seen anything with this overhauled team from last year. We have no idea how everything is going to mesh yet with all the new involved.

They’ll be playing with more emotion.
Which is largely irrelevant (or at least vastly overrated by fans) after the first series for each side of the ball. Execution and focus is what matter more after that. How many times was LSU "playing with more emotion" at home vs. Alabama? How did those games end?
Now, I do think an emotional CROWD can have an impact. And Ole Miss will certainly have that to their advantage. But, until proven otherwise, LSU now has what made Ole Miss really good over the last few years...Kiffin. Even in the CFP last year it was largely OM's offense that carried the load for them...and offense led by the current LSU offensive staff.
That's not to say Ole Miss will be a bad team next year (they won't). But Kiffin made them a power. Kiffin had great offenses before last season. HE was the constant.

I could see this going any way.
1) I could see LK being pissed off and having his team dialed in with the greatest gameplan ever created and LSU wins by 3 scores.
2) I could see OM being super pissed off and dialed in and beating LSU by a good bit.
3) I could see it being an absolute slugfest and Lane's knowledge of Pete getting us across the finish line in the 4th quarter.
4) I could see it being super tight and the home field advantage is just too much to overcome and LSU loses a close one.
5) I could also see LSU not being a fully oiled machine yet and dropping this one early and becoming a juggernaut down the stretch.
I typed a lot of words to say. IDK man, anything could happen.

I don't see how we can make an informed prediction before Game 1. LSU is better on paper and has a better coaching staff. Oxford moves the needle somewhat toward Ole Miss. As someone said, it'll be their Super Bowl. I wouldn't be shocked to see Ole Miss come out on top.

Prediction? PAIN!
There will be tears all over that overrated picnic area!

All American QB in Chambliss at home. Piss should win.
They better, because it’ll be their last one for a while

Not surprising at all, considering it's on the road and we have no idea how good or bad this LSU team will be.
