I think we're in this until the end. Contrary to what many of the LSU fans think, Jefferson is still very much unproven.

This will be a big game for him. Prime time game, road opener, national TV - and all the pressure in the world. During the LSU bowl game, many, by that point, had written LSU off completely. However, now, with most in the media "expecting" LSU to come out and blow us away, all the pressure will be on LSU, and particularly, Jefferson.

I believe the LSU defense will have difficulty containing Jake, but the more I think about it, the more I think that LSU's fate in this game could be based on how well Jefferson plays.

So, if LSU plays like crap then UW has a chance. Thanks for that.

All Jefferson will need to do is manage the game and get the ball in the playmaker's hands. The talent around him should suffice.

LSU has so much talent on offense. They will put up 40+. Washington can't score that on LSU.

No, I won’t be nervous,” Jefferson said, “because you shouldn’t be nervous if you know what you’re doing. So that’s why I’m not even worried about being nervous. I’ll be so focused on getting a play and reading the defense, I won’t have time to be nervous.

Really?

Because your receivers and running backs seem relatively unproven.

So, unless Jake can throw THEN catch the ball, then it shouldn't be all that difficult to 'contain' Jake.

First off, this game is not prime time. It's 10:30 EST and 9:30 in Baton Rouge. There will be many people passed out from a long day of drinking by the time the 2nd half starts.

Not to sound like a complete homer, but i imagine Washington to have a hard time doing anything against our D. Jake Locker is a beast, no doubt, but he just doesn't have the surrounding cast to pull off impressive numbers. On the flip side, Jefferson has a very good WR, very good TE, good-to-very-good OL and a number of stallions at RB.

Jefferson should not even have to throw the ball 20 times for LSU to win this one. Scott, Williams, and Co should have 200-300 rushing yards in this game.

Why? Everyone else did last year, and we have one of the best QB's in the country.

Doesn't seem that far fetched to me.

LSU will literally score at will in this game. However I expect Washington's offense to have some success as well. But not nearly enough to matter.

Jefferson doesn't have to do a thing but handoff and we win by 20+

I think your offensive and defensive lines are extremely weak. I think we can win this game by running right at you.

agreed...if I was a betting man, I wouldn't touch this game, especially with such a high point spread for an unproven road team with a new DC and relatively inexperienced QB.

That's what people said about Armanti Edwards.

They cannot run; they cannot pass; they cannot defend; and their special teams is abysmal.

Besides that, I am expecting a real tussle out there.
