I watched them against Marshall, and am about to watch the replay of their game with Maryland in a few minutes (ESPNU 1:00 a.m. CDT). From what I saw against Marshall, Devine is more bulked up than he used to be, but didn't seem nearly as fast. Their QB is adequate as a passer, but certainly nothing to be scared of. He's more of a runner, but he's no Pat White. I'd be surprised if they do much against our defense.

Not to be rude, but have you ever watched the game of American football before? Smith threw for 316 yards against Marshall. He ran for 13 yards. He threw for 268 yards and 4 TDs against UMD and had -6 yards rushing. He's thrown 1 ill-advised pass this season. That was the first game. He is an accurate passer, but more than anything he is as poised as I've ever seen.

watched them struggle against Marshall and that was all i needed to see. it will be a blowout if the defense plays like they did against Miss.st

I just believe that if both teams bring their A games it will be much closer than you think.

If LSU brings it's A game, it doesn't matter what WVU brings. LSU wins 48 - 9.

The problem is: how often do we actaully see LSU's A game?

Quote-"they look small. have a few playmakers but are not used to playing top caliber defenses. they could get up for the one tough game on thier schedule and compete for a while. i am hoping lsu shows them what a real sec team looks like."

Same thing Georgia said when we beat them in the Sugar Bowl in Atlanta.

Is that the only significant win ever for WVU? I think WVU will be a nice match up for this weekend, and hopefully LSU will bring the right intensity for this game in between SEC games. Devine is always a threat and their QB appears to be the best passer they have had in quite some time. I always root against the Boise State/TCU/West Virginia types of teams and hopefully LSU won't overlook the mountaineers Saturday. They are probably the best team we have faced yet this season.

I actually think MSU is a better team than WVU

Quote-"Have fun come to the north end of the track stadium have some gumbo and some beer, do not listen to some of the people on here.
you have a good team and will come to play.
Have fun in NOLA, cuvee for a great dinner or Irene's great local place on barracks st."

Thank you! I think I will. I'm really looking forward to coming down. Due to work schedules we don't fly out until Friday afternoon. I got home from our game Saturday afternoon in time to watch your game against MSU.

I've watched a lot of WVU games over the past 10 years. They'll be ready for us and have played enough SEC teams lately to not be blown away by our stadium, size, speed, etc..

Anyone who thinks this is not going to be a game is mistaken. Can LSU win - yes, if they play well. Can we look bad and get smoked - absolutely.

I have not read the entire thread, but I would be VERY reluctant to take too much from the Marshall game given how much that game means to Marshall and how relatively little that game means to LSU. Remember the first half of LSU-Tulane in 2007?

I like the Tigers' chances, but we're just not good enough on offense to separate the score quickly even if the D is playing lights out. If the D struggles even a little bit, this game is scary. Plus, W. Va. seems to have a chip on their shoulder when they play SEC or Big 12 teams, so I damn sure hope our boys are as fired up about THIS game as I am. I expect a great game this Saturday.
