LSU-38
TCU-17
I'm completely buying in to the offensive hype. I would love to see us come out on the first drive and score throwing the ball.

28-24 Da Tigahs in exciting finish Blue with TD run last minute and Frogs driving for winning TD in wanning seconds as ball stripped away and recovered by AJ (freak) for the W!

9 starters return for one of the best defensive minds in college.
And of those 9 starters, how many would start at LSU? They will be playing against an LSU offense that is bigger, faster, stronger. Its just a fact.
31-10 LSU

anyone that says we win by less than a TD may have a learning disability

Anyone says we win going away not watch last season; just don't think offense ready to be called juggernaut and still young replacements D; Frogs will be pumped for this in their home state and only +5 dogs in Vegas. Tigers win this game but still think pretty close; hey , prove me wrong and bet the house spot the 5 for easy money LOL!

Some stats for predictions: By year, average scores for LSU and Opponent; Both Overall & (vs Top 25)
2009: 24.8 - 16.2, (13.75 - 17.25), 4 Top 25
2010: 29.7 - 18.2, (26.9 - 23.9), 7 Top 25
2011: 35.7 - 11.3, (31.6 - 14.3), 9 Top 25
2012: 29.8 - 17.5, (21.8 - 19.5), 6 Top 25
4 Year Average: 30.0 - 15.8, (23.5 - 18.7) 6.5 Top 25 Opponents
The 2011 defense was by far the best, but the other 3 years were only slightly above the 4 year average with 17.3 points per game (20.2 vs Top 25).
- If we assume that the 2013 defense is comparable to the typical defense (09, 11, 12), this would indicate that TCU should score somewhere between 17-21 points statistically.
When looking at the offense through the years, again, 2011 was special. However, the other 3 years were only slightly below the 4-year average with 28.1 points per game (20.8 vs Top 25).
- If we assume the offense isn't any worse than any of those years, LSU should score at least 21-28 points.
So, I'd say that it's safe to assume that LSU will win the game.
In opening games,
2009: 31-23 vs UW, 2010: 30-24 vs #18 UNC, 2011: 40-27 vs #3 UO, 2012: 41-14 vs UNTx
The opening game averages fall on the upper end of the season averages: 35.5 - 22.0, (35.0 - 25.5) 2 Top 25.
All things considered, I'll pick LSU 30-17.

Great post dude. I think 30-10 LSU
Posted on 7/24/13 at 10:38 am to Mahootney
I saw Vegas had a 5 pt spread on the game.... looks like they are using the 4-year average vs Top 25 opponents.

It's not going to be a blow out. TCU's defense is always strong against the run and the offenses that give their defense trouble are strong passing offenses with QBs that can get rid of the ball to neutralize the pass rush. Until LSU can prove to me that their passing game is legit I am expecting a tight defensive struggle of a game.

my guess was 31-17 LSU
2 TD runs, two passing TDs
I think we start up the Blue and Hilliard show early again thios year and Mett goes over top for close to 250. I see Pachall going 2 TDs in the first half. Chavis adjusts and the go scoreless in the fourth. We go 21 in the first half and Patterson adjusts so it's 24-17 til late in the fourth. We score a TD with less than 5 minutes to go.
Leslie over over 100, Blue over 100, team goes over 400 yards offense.

I'm not saying that these guys aren't good.... they may be, but I'm not going to pretend like they are better than the elite SEC defenses we see year in and year out.

I recall very similar statements the last time we played in Dallas.... how did that one turn out?
