247 and TN are both straight GAHHHHBAGE!!! Wanna talk talent, most of our damn defensive players could play both sides of the ball in D1 and we have quite a few that we yanked out of the Longhorns hands lmao... get out of here. LSU wins
Texas and LSU are closer in talent than Tenn and GAST. So how in the world did GAST win @ Tenn?
It doesn’t matter how you want to look at the talent level. A lesser talented team can beat a more talented team via gameplan and execution. The wider the talent gap gets, the more leniency the superior talented team has in the allowance of errors in execution.
A lot of people in here are making replies to me that literally have zero to do with what I’ve stated thus far.

LSU should be more than a 4 pt favorite (I think that is the spread?), but I guess TX gets a few for playing at home. Still, even without looking at specific strengths or weaknesses, LSU has way more experience across the board. I have no clue why TX is ranked in the top 10 and I am a fan of the team/coach. It just doesn't make sense.
Of course, I think we CAN win - our CBs need to have improved a lot from the first game. Our D did not show really any of the pressure D looks, so maybe they can generate quite a bit more? Offensively, It all comes down to giving Ehl time to work and, unlike last week, he will have to be a bigger part of the running game. The lack of a real 2nd running back is going to really hurt.
UT has a lot of talent, just very little experience. Perhaps the grow up in a hurry....

Anybody can win, it’s why the game is played. But purple and gold critics of LSU football now see a monster developing, a category 5 Hurricane.

Well in that case, lemme help make your previous post correct. STTDB! if ya don't know what that means, ask somebody.

Reality strikes at 6:30 CST. Everyone will know who’s for real soon enough. Texas may take a little longer to figure out, since they start a lot of new players. I really expect our Tigers to win by at least 7 points or more. Texas will give us their all, that I’m certain, so will LSU.

I understand that y’all are the more talented team, but it’s not by a lot. You guys are setting yourself up for a MASSIVE meltdown if you don’t win this game.
Enjoy the game, root for your team, no amount of talking on this board has any impact. But if you think you’re going to win by 3+ TDS you’re just setting yourself up for disappointment.

Texas is a year away from being elite. I’ve known that all off season. We are a good team this year and should win another 10 games. I pegged us at 10-2 (regular season) before the season started. Our previous 2 recruiting classes have been elite, but they have to go through the system and mature and gain experience. Next year that first strong class becomes upperclassmen. We can win any single game on our schedule this year if we click. Getting a young team to click consistently throughout a whole season is easier said than done though.

I don’t understand this take. With a base 3-3-5 defense (and often running a 3-2-6 or even a 1-2-8), It’s kind of hard to assess this battle. The Texas D-line isn’t necessarily built to get penetration, but rather stalemate and occupy the O-line and allow for the others to come in and make the play.

Still to be determined. Dunno really how you can say with confidence one way or the other here. Burrow is gunna scamper this game. There is no film of him last game to prepare for how he will be utilized in that way (with this new scheme). Orlando tends to have way more issues with the D when the QB being a threat to run enters the equation.

The LSU Oline was good enough to lead tigers to a 10 win season. It returns four starters and another four with starting experience.
Texas Dline lost all three starters from last year. New starters did start five games last year and combined accounted for 38 tkls and two sacks. From what I saw on the UT depth chart for this game the backups consist of Tr Fr, RFr, Juco Jr, and a Jr that played in nine games with 7 tkls.
If those new starters are already better than what you lost they should have been starting last year. At the very least playing a whole lot more snaps every game.
Can you elaborate as to how this is a UT advantage?

Texas didn't have a single four star on the DL last year, embarrassing I know
These new guys are highly touted guys Herman brought in with his top classes, sure they aren't as experienced but are much more talented. They'll be more of a problem next season, but the RS freshman are an issue right now and will disrupt the run game.

I think our running game will be sufficient, but it's a good point in general. Its not a typical LSU running game, and we're depending on a new passing offense to carry us.
I honestly think it's a low scoring game where LSU wins off the turnover battle

I do as well, I think both teams will be in the 20s. Texas isn't a normal Big 12 offense, they slow the tempo and play smash mouth football often. I expect that to be the case this weekend, leading to a 27-24 type game

It is gonna be a great game and I agree with you LSU would have to play a great game to go into your house and win by 3 TD’s, if someone was giving me Texas and 21pts on Saturday, I would have to take that bet and hope we win by less!
But the difference in the game is going to simply come down to experience! LSU returns one of the most experienced teams in the FBS with 16 returning starters and Texas is one the least experienced teams in the FBS with only 8 returning starters! That is going to be the difference in the game! Less physical and mental mistakes from the more experienced team, is what helps LSU pull out a very tough and physical game imo!

Well judging by our rushing numbers from last week, you would be absolutely correct! If you want to look at it myopically! But everyone on LSU’s staff as been saying this is a different offense, and it is!
LSU, thanks to Joe Brady, is now incorporating the screen pass into the running game! So is it a forward pass? Absolutely! But LSU is using it during running downs and they consider it part of the run game! If you put those numbers into what we actually ran for the number swing is huge, it doubles all the metrics of just running the ball!
But hey I get it, it is not running, you are correct! But if the one that is making the plays considers it part of “their” running scheme, you have to adjust to it as that!

I can agree with this, Texas legitimately has four 5-stars in the secondary but they are all sophomores (Sterns, Foster, Green, Overshown). Brandon Jones is the only upperclassman back there, and he was #1 safety in 2016. Texas' secondary is probably the second most talented in the nation, behind LSU. Experience is the separating factor here though.

I respect LSU a lot, but reading some predictions on here are laughable. Talking bad about our D and how great yours is as well. What offensive juggernauts do you play every year? Alabama? You can trash the Big 12 all you want, but year after year they have the most dynamic offenses in the nation that put up a ton of yards. So LSU has a great defense but defensive ranking are kinda pointless.
I think Texas has a chance to win this because LSU like all SEC teams think they are the greatest ever because Alabama is in the Natty every year. Then when they do get hit in the mouth and lose, hold on for the excuse train.. It was the same after Georgia and if Texas does win, LSU will be throwing them everywhere.. Here is to a great game with two of the most storied programs.
