Although I agree with most of your post, if there is one key - it’s our defense - is it great?

Can it really cause turnovers & keep OM under 24 points?

There are many variables discussed on the " key " for an LSU win, but to just pick the most important, it is our defense. Why ? With a dominating defense you obviously limit the opponent from scoring, create turnovers, and you also give our offense more possessions, and usually better field positions to begin drives. You control the tempo and flow of a game, if you are the visitor, by a smothering defense. But, the main thing a visiting, dominating defense does, is it takes out the home field advantage of the crowd, as they watch in silence as their offense is stymied.
Hopefully, our defense is lights out dominant, our offense doesn't turn it over much, and we will get the win.

Chambliss only threw 3 interceptions last year in 445 attempts.

Not really. OM has the #99 ranked total D. Tech's D was top 50. He put up 45 pts with 4 turnovers on Tech. He should not have any trouble putting up 40+ pts on OM, even if he throws a couple of INTs . I don't think the OM Dbacks are capable of making an INT, much less 2.

The O-line has to allow LSU to generate a running game.


agreed. Just like every week, regardless of opponent, OWNING the line of scrimmage is paramount.

last year


I am so sick and tired of hearing comparisons that start with "LAST YEAR..." when it comes to the performance of our offense.

Last year has absolutely ZERO bearing on this year (THANK THE GOOD LORD). It's an entirely new system, new players, new coaches....

Last year's offense sucked.
The O-line under Kelly/Davis, was horrible. The offense could not run because they were not aggressive. Thankfully that has changed. Last year means nothing on the offensive side of the ball.

Ole Piss’s defense is complete dog shite. Particularly their pass defense. If Leavitt doesn’t turn the ball over LSU shreds them by air and ground.

After crunching the numbers, I have concluded it will come down to whether or not LSU plays better than Ole Miss and out-scores them.

It is a fact that they are currently last in the SEC in total defense- which doesn't bode well since their DC from last season is now their Head Coach.
