re: I think there needs to be a LOT more concern/fear of Oregon's offense

You'll forgive them though if the discussion has been dominated of late by certain other topics.

Most boards i see are dominated by beaver (not the good kind) and husky talk.

You really think the coaches aren't specially prepping for this game? LSU does extremely well with time to prep for an opponent. While most people think this game will be a cakewalk, I think it will be a lot closer with us coming out on top.

What's the O/U on how many times the "prepped and ready" LSU LB's and DB's will get confused and out of position during the game? Opening the season on the road against a top 10 team with a great offense without Nevis, Sheppard and Peterson will be a problem. They're going to get beat during the game. Just how many times is the only question. Not trying to be negative. I'm a realist that doesn't wave pom poms.

33-30 Final. Something like that. Lady Luck (Tigers best friend last year) determines who wins in the fourth quarter.

Good thing Oregon doesn't have to worry about humidty and thunderstorm soaked grass fields.

if lsu's defensive line can get penetration and their linebackers and secondary do not overpersue then they should be able to contain the Oregon Offense to some degree. Oregon is still going to gain yards and score we just have to make them earn the yards.

Our offense needs to run the damn ball down the defensies throat with a little playaction.

I liken it to how some people perceived the giants/patriots superbowl a few years back. No way the giant were going to win.

The giants layed some big hits on the pats offense and got lucky with their offense.

Lsu needs to lay some wood and run the ball.

lsu 28- oregon 17

So what are you looking for? Do you want LSU fans to concede defeat to Oregon 4 weeks out?

Maybe I should go ahead and sell my tickets and cancel hotel reservation, because "the LSUSaint" said I should be just as scared as she is.

Whoever is calling for an 'easy win' over the Ducks simply doesn't know football. I think LSU has an edge and will prevail, but - BOOK IT - this one won't be won until late in the fourth quarter. The Ducks are for real. I just don't think they can withstand LSU's pressure for 60 minutes.

This one won't be won (or loss) based on the opinion of this message board either. That was my point.

no no, if you aren't scared shitless you're out of your mind...WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!

PDXanus. Dont put it past Les to somehow win the game only playing till halftime. Lol

Speaking of nitwits, I think most people understand that the Oregon game could go either way. I mean, hell...it's the highest ranked team LSU has ever faced in the 1st game of the season.

But what the other "nitwits" don't get is the passionate and starved LSU fanbase that had to endure another shitty basketball season in which we are a big fat non-factor and pushover. And then to follow up that we had to deal with baseball which started out great and then went into a complete downward spiral in a hurry, only to battle back to miss the tournament by a pube.

So yes, we all have level heads, we're all intelligent, but we're ready to show a little pride and bravado in a sport again. And this year's football team gives us good reason to do just that. So you're gonna hear people a little over the top excited and giving blowout predictions, etc. It's completely expected given the situation.

I can't believe I had to type that out. I figured that everybody got that and it was completely obvious, but I guess the nitwits need to have their hands held and everything drawn out on a board for them.
