Elko is a decent coach but he’s a fat frick. How can you be that sloppy fat with access to all those resources and then preach to your team about conditioning.

SC defensive line is better. Better dbs too

I am talking about 2nd road game back to back. Stats show the team that has back to back road games has less of a chance in the 2nd game of winning. It’s not automatic but it’s hard to do in the SEC. That’s why I liked us to beat Ole Miss because they were coming off the SC game.

This game makes me very nervous.

- LSU is battle tested on the road at SC, ARK
- Battle tested at home against OM
- Top 5 QB in the country statisctcally
- Blake Baker is a defensive mastermind when it comes to pass heavy QB's by pressuring them with complex blitz packages
Battle-testing also breeds maturity - and given how young we are at several defensive positions, this year's near-losses that were pulled into victories only helps speed the development of those players.

LSU is facing its 2nd SEC road game. Odds are not in our favor. Stop their run game and make their QB make the hard throws. Nuss will have to win this one. They have a good run game defense. If O line holds the best D line we have played we win by 10.
The "best D Line we have played?" Really?
Regardless of what you might think of them now, do you really believe that this aTm defense is actually better than the OM defense we played a few weeks ago? I don't. That defense punched us in the mouth for 4 quarters, and we didn't lead until the last play of the game. Aggy's D is good, but I don't think they're that good. They'll be a handful just the same, though.
So call me skeptical on that one, friend. I personally think an LSU victory turns on two game elements: Nuss and the passing game, and our defense.
If Durham can start heating up that will only help, but at this point (from an offensive perspective) it's Nuss, Lacy, Taylor and Anderson that will determine if we win or not. If CJ and Hilton can play as well (even if sporadically), hoo boy!
Also, don't discount how big of a loss it is for Aggy to not have Bisantis at OG for this game. Weigman is already sketchy when passing, and losing your starting offensive guard before facing a hot LSU defense doesn't bode well for that young man. I'm betting Baker schemes up some hellacious A/B-gap blitzes that will put his replacement on skates most of the game. So if our DE's can keep contain on Weigman, get pressure on him from the middle, and also shut down Moss we win easily - regardless of what the Aggy D does.
Them's my thoughts, friends.

Those stats are for the whole SEC. A couple of days ago someone posted that since 2008, LSU is 6-1 in the second game of back-to-back road SEC games. The only loss in 2021 (post COVID peak Orgeron meltdown).
So throw that stat out. It’s not for us, it’s for the Ole Misses and the Vanderbilts of the SEC.
I’d wager Bama and Georgia have a pretty sparkling record in back-to-back road SEC games as well.

Bret Bielema and Mark Mangino say "Hi".

He does have big balls of steel, but his long ball is silly-putty.
