In my mind, it goes to the questions of how our offensive line plays and whether Blake Baker’s defense can stop a running QB in a hostile environment. All our games have been played in the favorable confines of Death Valley.

The offensive line giving Sam a clean pocket to find his receivers so he doesn’t get happy feet and giving the RB holes to run through will be key on offense.

Baker hasn’t been able to stop a running QB in 2 years. I don’t know how much of that is on him versus how much is on players blowing their responsibilities (I’m looking at you, Harold Perkins). I think we have a much better run defense so far with much better personnel that have been solid. They haven’t over pursued and the interior DL has been much better at getting that push that has been missing.

Lastly, unlike previous years, I’m much more confident in the overall coaching staff’s ability to make in-game and halftime adjustments. I think that, combined with this staff’s familiarity with Ole Miss’s schemes will prove the difference in whether it’s a squeaker or a blowout.

Either way, I’m pretty confident in a Tiger win. There’s just too many variables that the team hasn’t had to deal with up to this point.

Several holding calls at key times, and pass interference both defensive and offensive. That’s what I predict. It’s hard to predict a score, but hopefully they outplay Ole Miss by enough to cover the fricking they’re going to try to give us.

We will roll in and remind them why Lane came here. We are a championship program and they are runts.

I recall a time when LSU played an Ole Miss team that was a walking MASH unit missing over half of their starters. We lost that game.

It was a shitty Ole Miss team missing - I believe - six defensive starters. Mett gave the game away.

It was a shitty ole Miss team and that game was just as bad as the clock it game from Miles. The fact we threw so much was retarded and there was also Miles being a retard not calling a timeout that allowed ole miss to run down the clock.

That was 100 on us having a dumb coach not ole miss getting up for us

I think we walk away with a 10 pt win. I have watched OM both times now. If we don't beat them, then we are in for another 4 loss season. They aren't that good, and we will face better down the line. I do believe we are in control of this game by middle of third quarter, if not sooner.

Ole Miss was run blitzing on every play. We had Mett and two All-Pro receivers. The coaches did it right in that game, and Mett played like dog shite.

The fact we looked so bad is on miles, we clearly didn’t have the attention to detail. We didn’t really try to run it at all if I remember but I’ve tried to put that game out of memory. I feel like we just threw over and over and Mett turned it over 3 or 4 times.

I also remember ole miss with a late fg but we had let time run off instead of calling a time out leaving us no time to score. I feel like maybe we only got a kick return or something.

I think the only two scenarios are this:

LSU is in control much of the game, and the outcome is really never in doubt, just a solid win by LSU.

or

LSU has some crucial special teams blunders, along with a couple turnovers, and OM squeaks out on a field goal at the end. I do not see our D giving up a lot of points. We either win in dominant style, or make a lot of mistakes and it is a coin flip. jmo

I think it will be a a mighty struggle and I’m not high, nor have I ever been. But I hope you are right!
