This leaves Ole Miss with no choice but to score on almost every drive.


sounded like us in the 2023 game. almost score 50 points and still lost.

F U matt house.

let's remember even ole kelly kept games close with lane. we coulda won that 2023 game with any type of defense.

we MAY have gotten lucky in 2024. lane prolly shoulda won that game.

we were shite last year and hung with them until they mercy kneed at the end.

we have a better team and coaches. we SHOULD win by double digits 10-14 but this is the sec and crazy shite happens on the road.

no doubt.

that called back TD against florida in 2006 changed the whole game afterwards.

Same here. We win by a TD or FG on the 4th Q.

We are going to run the ball down their throats. This won’t be close.

think OM and the refs end up pulling away in the 4th. The SEC needs this one badly.


“The SEC” has no control of the outcome of the game.

It better not be close, because there is a less than zero chance that the game is officiated fairly.

These kind of calls ALWAYS “interject “ themselves into almost every game—because you know why? The refs are humans and make mistakes, not because they are trying to punish LSU.

Leavitt has to take care of the ball and the O-line has to perform. Getting at least 4 yards on first down will be very helpful.

My liver isn't going to be able to handle that. If LSU runs the ball down Ole Miss throat for 4 quarters and they're doing close ups of a demoralized and steadily emptying stadium with LSU fans partying and carrying on........Then Pete gets caught in a close up drinking from a flask.

I'm going to need an IV on Sunday for hydration.

The only way it's close is if the refs make it close.

This invalidates your whole statement.

100% agree. Defense travels, but first road game of the season in a wild environment, things could easily go sideways, particularly for the offense and OL.

So you don’t think LSU fans will be there? If 10k LSU fans are there now it 54k fans.

It’s not just on paper. Their secondary is bad

Again you do not have to see a single stat. If you watched the games you would know this is one of the best if not best squads since 2011.

hink this game will come down to if LSU can force a few turnovers and give our offense a short field.


This makes no sense. Did read a book of generic football color commentator statements for filler?

What part of LSU that you’ve seen requires LSU to need a short field?

Ole Miss is living off legacy. Next year they will be out of any left. They will return to their rightful non hooker years as a bottom 3.

Goldilocks and the Three Beers is not the architect of the Ole Miss offense, but he was the architect of that horrible defense they’ve put on the field.

I’ll never understand why people think a stat like that is reflective on whatever current team is playing.


Because the data indicates it.... I'll never understand how fans can continually discount historical trends

Wrong - this LSU team could very well blow out Ole Miss tomorrow. You may not have watched the first couple of games but I have. We are playing complementary football. We are running the ball. We are playing defense.

It may be close if a few things go against us (Chambliss breaking long runs is my main concern) but I'd say about a 40-50% chance we win by over 14 points.
