The most important thing you need to learn from LSU’s next scrimmage is?

With less than two weeks to prepare before their matchup the most important thing I need to learn is will LSU be ready? LSU is most definitely not ready to face Fla State right now, .

LSU’s 1st string offense struggled especially passing the ball after their first turnover. Yes, it was LSU’s first scrimmage but many of us assumed that it would be the defense still struggling some at this point, not an offense that returns so many talented players.

Maybe that’s part of the reason the first question the media asked was about Caleb Jackson getting an opportunity to play. Who might Kelly turn to, to kick start LSU’s offense if it is struggling vs Fla State? That might be another QB or it might be a freshman running back. I just know the clock is ticking. It’s nearing game time!

Most important thing….no injuries.

It is obvious what you are fishing for, but this offense will be fine.

Is there some piece of information you want regarding the DBs and the QBs you aren’t getting in the other 60 threads you’ve started on the subject?

LSU probably still wins in a close game because LSU has the better coach, but that 2.5 point spread is beginning to sound about right.

Should I cancel my plans to Orlando based on your knowledge?

You come to this conclusion after one scripted scrimmage?

TTT- if offense plays good, the defense is bad. If defense plays good, the offense is bad. We’ll never be ready for the season

This is what the media would call “a bad take”

Scrimmages honestly tell us nothing outside of possible depth chart.

LSU has held many practices before this scrimmage, and LSU returns an experienced offense. So yes, I did. Maybe LSU’s improved defense is part of the reason. We’ll all know in less than two weeks.

No, but you should pack an extra bottle of Crown Royal, because this will be a close game.

There are no more major scrimmages. They are now preparing for FSU.

This is exactly why Les Miles used to just make up stats from scrimmages and not let anyone watch this.

Les had many flaws but understanding the reactionary negative side of this fanbase/media was not one of them.

Nuss is not playing in the Florida State game unless it’s a blow out in either direction. This fanbase needs to come to terms with this.

This is true, but it’s also the reason our fan base always assumed LSU’s QB was capable of slinging it.

Player health, especially Smith, Ryan, Williams, and Diggs.

Really just want to see those guys get some full speed live reps.

You don't need to learn a fricking thing.

The coaches whose livelihoods depend on it will put the guys on the field who they feel give them the best chance to win.

They could give 2 fricks less what some jackass who's reading reports and looking at stats and highlights from a scrimmage thinks about it nor should they.

Truly concerning if our offense is struggling with the next Herschel Walker carrying the rock. Don’t know how I’ll sleep.
