This is a bigger game than I think some want to admit.

There's a lot that we will learn in this game.
1) Has the LSU offense improved? We are facing a legitimate defense today. A good performance against aTm will mean a lot for the direction of the offense. A bad performance will almost certainly mean a change at OC IMO. There will be a lot of talk after the game about it. A lot riding on the offense, IMO.
2) Has LSU regressed? Some people are saying that we've gone backwards since the Alabama game. We had a "too close for comfort" game against Arkansas. Are we as good as our ranking?
3) Postseason possibilities. Yeah, the playoffs are probably not going to happen, but a NY6 bowl would would be a great destination for this year.
4)Jimbo vs. O. Jimbo was a guy that LSU wanted. He slipped through the cracks in 2015 and used us in 2016. A lot of people want to believe that O was a better choice. Will Jimbo beat us in his FIRST year?
5) We are ranked #7, they are ranked #22. Despite the line, LSU should win this game. They are ranked much higher. Some people think we're overrated.
I hope the staff and players understand how important this game is for us. I'm sure they do. And I hope for a performance like the Georgia game.
I'm excited for a big game today. Geaux Tigers!

TAM is laying for us. The defense must put Mond down often and hard.

This is LSU'S game to lose. They're the better team and I expect them to win.

This is a big game for both programs.

Yep. You may get criticized as it's not a popular view here, but if LSU loses this game it's all on Eaux. Period

At this point I know we won’t see flashy high scoring offense, but as scared as I am of this game, I will just take a W and geaux to the house.

It's a huge game. 50/50 IMO.

If Ensminger voluntarily steps aside, yes. Otherwise O is not going to admit another error at OC. He'll find a way to rationalize the offensive performance, most likely by blaming the players.

Of course you'd say that... because you loathe the man. And I bet a small part of you is hoping we lose so that you can throw a fit and say I told you so?
AM is better that some are willing to admit. This is going to be a tough game in a tough place on the road. this could very well go down similar to the Florida game.

Why do you make up shite?

What if they win?

That's just my opinion on how I think things will go down. No reason to get all worked up over it.

Some people can't get past this. It's weird.

We have WR's that can't block. We don't have an SEC RB. We have a makeshift OL. A backup QB from another team. These are facts. It's hard to say whether this an Ensminger issue or a personnel issue, or a combination of both.
Like you, I think a good OC should be able to make this work a little better, but I'm not ready to throw him under the bus.
But, O calls it as he sees it and he has placed some blame on E. O has also been very aggressive to make changes when needed. Let's see what happens.

It's asinine to pretend that you know what goes on in the man's head then state that as fact to give you a reason to slam the man. If you can't slam him on known issues what makes you think it's ok to make it up? Its dirty and you're dirty for doing it.

Of course you think this way since you hate him and the hire. He was not my first choice as a HC but he has proven to be much better than many thought and is on the short list for COTY. This loss will be a team loss and A&M is capable of winning. I believe we have a 70/30 shot at winning:).
Posted on 11/24/18 at 12:32 pm to bencoleman
Because some folks want their own personal opinions proven right over success of the program. A...s and morons who have effed up priorities.

How does one say this without seeing the game
Posted on 11/24/18 at 12:34 pm to cra_cra
Our WRS are most at fault for dropping passes, more so than blocking. OL is makeshift due to injuries, not having true tackles who can pass protect and our best OL out for the year. Saying we don't have SEC RB is harsh. CEH and Brossette have done well considering their circumstances. They are not Guice or LF7. But they are not trash or chopped liver. RBs have out done expectations.
