Their run D is solid

Their secondary sucks.

I think it’ll be like the 2014 Thanksgiving game where we win a close one. Our defense is banged up but I think they can get the job done with their eyes on the prize and a month to heal before a big bowl game. Time for them to show “Why I came to LSU...” which wasn’t to play in Citrus Bowls.

Right, they're going to be about like Auburn, which was also on the road. That game could've gone either way. This game will be down to the wire as well.

Its plenty good enough for a coach in his second season who was projected to go 7-5. The program is obviously on it's way back up after Les had nearly killed it. Settle down.

You couldn't be more wrong. We do not set our standard based on media projections.

Over the hill guys with nothing to do but scream at their TV and type angrily on their smart phone?

I've watched every Aggie game this year. I would be astounded if they score more than 20.

The question is whether we can score more than 20. Aggie run D is good.

Orgeron's floor for each regular season record has to be 10 & 2. Otherwise let's bring les miles back.

Bring Les Miles back? No.

I like kickers.
I like linebackers.
I like quarterbacks.
I like offenses with more than two plays.
I like scoring points before the clock runs out.
And I love a coach that does his best to be honest and accountable every week.
Les Miles is every bit as good as his job offer list indicates.
Hes gone. And, thank the football God, is never coming back. Except on the big screen where we can watch him eat grass and sip beer.

News flash. Honestly we could still probably beat A&M w/o fixing the offense.


I mean, we could. I honestly don't feel great about his game. A&M has the best statistical rushing D in the conference. They also do a pretty good job of getting after the quarterback. We're going to need our O-line to step up and Burrow to play a hell of a game. Plus you know they're dying to finally break through and beat LSU.

They are better than Florida IMO

what people forget however is LSU’s offense was in cruise control until Ensminger got away from the run and went into his usual mystifying bag of red zone playcalls and had Burrow throw instead of finishing off the drive with the run (we were crushing them so bad Saahdiq Charles was literally dancing out there after plays)..after that turnover we lost all rhythm and instead of 14-0 it was tied. Ole Miss made the same mistake against tamu on Saturday. Instead of going up 21-7 it was 14-14 because they got cute in the red zone and their injured qb lost the ball.

That was as good playcalling as I’ve seen in years until Ensminger completely lost it. Trickled down throughout the team. Defense had an excellent second half until a freak completion between Greedy and Delpit sparks their go ahead score. If we play a clean game (and call a good game) i think we’ll win a tight one.

People I think are freaking out because

A) shitty offense since UGA


B) Jimbo


C) defensive injuries

C is the most important.

This sounds brain dead given our current coach.

It's going to be a tough battle. Some roun here just can't get that to settle into their minds. They seem to think jimbob and his boys are just going to lay down when they see the white & purple & canary yellow. Naive fools!

What if I told you Texas a&M's pass defense was ranked worse than Arkansas?

Yeah, Devin White was a Miles recruit.

Turns out Burrow isn't any better than Etling, a Miles guy.

Those two plays were more productive and scored more points than all of Ensminger's plays.
