After watching LSU beat Miami and Auburn, I think on a good day LSU could beat most every team they see this year, with the possible exception of Alabama. Georgia looks a good notch above LSU too, but beatable if we play well and get the bounces.

After watching LSU beat SE La and La Tech, I think LSU is vulnerable against everyone left on their schedule, with the exception of Rice and perhaps Arkansas.

LSU should be able to beat Ole Miss handily, last night’s second half LSU team gives a little pause even on that. I don’t think anyone would be be shocked to see LSU lose a game to Florida, Miss State, Georgia, Bama or A&M.

La Tech’s qb gave LSU fits last night, he was better than Burrow. Imagine playing Tua Tagovailoa, he is two times better than what we saw last night.

I am thrilled to be 4-0, I thought going in to the season 3-1 would be a decent start. It’s been two steps forward, one step back so far. Last night felt like a step back. Hopefully next week is two steps forward. I think we beat Ole Miss easily, Florida will be a tougher game than some think.

Perhaps Arkansas


They are bad. Probably the worst team we will face

I would be shocked. You really believe they will game plan the same way in each of those games?

I can assure you that, if the defense plays a second and third quarter like it has so far, we will be far enough behind that our anemic offense will not be able to catch up.

Agreed. If this turns into a shootout, we lose.

Drops, terrible OL play, play calling and Burrow have not shown that we can play score for score with anyone.

Ole Miss is another trap game.

If LSU plays like that again, the only gimme game is rice.

LSU had a period of 30:00 on the game clock where they did not score a point.

I don't see us beating UGA and Bama, UF will be a lot tougher than many people expect, as will A&M. Anywhere from 10-2 to 8-4 is possible with this bunch.

Yes I am not saying no one would be shocked to see us lose all five of those games, I was saying I don’t think anyone would be shocked to see us lose to one or more of these teams along the way.

Someone said it in another thread and I agree, the team is overachieving right now.

The hope is that the offensive efficiency continues to improve. If it does than this could still be a special season. If it doesn't then the results will regress to the mean.

Ole Miss’ Taamu will torch them if they play like they did against Tech. Those 5 yard curls were unstoppable. Oh yeah and Ole Miss has the best WRs in the SEC too.

I'm hoping that last night was an outlier on the part of the defense. No pass rush for most of the night. A repeat of that performance against Ole Miss and we could be in big trouble.

Ole Miss has a very suspect defense, but we have a very suspect offense, so I'm not confident that we'll be able to exploit them to the max.

They could run toss dives all night against ole miss and end up scoring 40. The question is, is 40 points enough to win against that dynamic Offense?
