This was my response/assessment of the matchups:

quote:

QB - Advantage TCU

RB - Push to slight advantage LSU

WR - Push

TE - No idea what to expect from ours, and we always vastly underutilize this position, so we'll go advantage LSU

OL - Advantage LSU

DL - slight advantage LSU (more towards the full advantage LSU since Fields is sitting)

LB - MAJOR advantage LSU

Secondary - push slight Advantage TCU

Special Teams - Push (Kicking game advantage TCU, return game Advantage LSU)

Coaching - Push

This was my response/assessment of the matchups:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QB - Advantage TCU

Not buying - Mett against Bama - QB - LSU

RB - Push to slight advantage LSU

LSU has 3 NFL ready RBs - LSU

WR - Push

LSU has 3 play makers - I can't say much more because I really don't know what TCU has

TE - No idea what to expect from ours, and we always vastly underutilize this position, so we'll go advantage LSU

OL - Advantage LSU

Major LSU

DL - slight advantage LSU (more towards the full advantage LSU since Fields is sitting)

Major LSU

LB - MAJOR advantage LSU

Secondary - push slight Advantage TCU

If you say so - we will both see

Special Teams - Push (Kicking game advantage TCU, return game Advantage LSU)

Coaching - Push

its not slight. LSU has 3 possibly 4 backs that would start at TCU

quote:

WR - Push


For now id agree. LSU WR have potential but havent proven so I wont argue this one


quote:

Coaching - Push


I will allow you to argue that HC is a coin flip etc. but whole coaching staff top to bottom LSU wins by a mile

Waymon James was a 4* recruit out of high school who's been a beast since he got here.

Aaron Green was one of the top RBs in the country in his recruiting class with offers from just about everyone. (more highly sought after than any RB on your roster)

BJ Catalon was a sleeper that our coaching staff picked up, and was huge in filling the starting RB role last year as a true freshman, and is looking to take another step forward, but will be our #3.


I have no doubt at all that your RBs are talented. But don't underestimate the guys we've got in our backfield.

He finished 2 spots ahead of Hilliard in the Rivals rankings and committed to nebraska first.Sat out all last year...and only had 105 yds in 2011 TOTAL

Blue- Better stats than all but one (i thinki) of your 3 RB's last year with his 2011 season. Injury ended season quick in 2012

Terrance Magee- switched positions due to wealth of RB talent. Back with a lot unknown potential

Hilliard- second on team in rushing last year avg almost 6 yds a carry

Hill- one of the best freshman rushing seasons ever at LSU and led team

Copeland- Arguably the best FB in the entire country

Waymon averaged 7.2 yards per carry in 2011, was over 9 in 2012 before his injury. Catalon last season was right around 5 ypc, and that was behind a pretty bad offensive line.

All of our RB's played against top level SEC defenses and still managed better numbers

You realize Rivals ratings dont mean shite correct?


And I still stand by saying that any of LSU's backs would be the starter at TCU

I just dont understand thiss. Im fine with the thought that Patterson > Miles. thats at least up for debate. But coaching staff as a whole is LSU by a lot.

After further reflection, I agree with your analysis. I was overly focused on the head coach.

With apologies,

There is not a single player on that TCU team that would be starting for LSU. If this game is closer than a 17 point win, I would be somewhat upset.
