Really? The top 2 have been unstoppable. The third option will be there once defenses start compensating for the top 2 guys. Mett is working his progressions and hasn't needed the third guy.



An injury to one of the top two and LSU is screwed. OBJ hurt his finger last night and you saw what happened when Dural came in the game.

They really need a third guy to step up. An injury is inevitable.

Cam Cameron was the best hire during the offseason in all of college football.

Hill is our best RB. Not even close. Magee has been excellent as well.

Jarvis and OBJ have been huge for us.


All of the above has made this LSU team the most exciting to watch in quite a few years!

Had brick hands, messed up on at least one route, muffed a punt. Didn't look nearly ready for prime time action.

We are finally executing in the passing game.

D is not a concern with me. We are still trying a lot of guys out.

St is what boggles my mind. We make amazing to solid plays on ST at times, then they completely shite the bed other times.

There is no doubt Cameron is in charge of the offensive and calling the plays.

Cameron has not opened up the offensive play book yet but gave a little bit more of a glimpse last night with passes to fullback & tight ends.

WR's are now a true strength of LSU.

RB's are still our work horses and showed last night our stable is still full with studs.

Offensive line starting to gel.

Defensive is young and no matter what anyone says still needs a lot of improvement.

DL looks like once again it is our strength of the defense.

LB's, Chavis needs to figure out the best combination and Welter is not it. Watch the reply on ESPN3 and he was out of position, couldn't get off blocks, bad angles or just late to the ball carrier on 85% of the plays he played.

DB's still to soft on some coverages and not breaking on the ball quick enough.

Safeties will be a key in the running game if the LB's don't tighten up real fast.

Offense definitely an A
Defense get a B-, only because we are used to A+ from this unit
Special teams A-, punting needs to be more consistent.

Offense is great, would like to see Boone get more playing time. Defense is a huge concern. Id like to see the D look like this Allen Freak Ego Hunter Barrow Beckwith Kwon Mills White Loston Eugene also still dont know if our kicker is any good. Keehn has been awful.


Rasco is the leading tackler on the team and has the most sacks. Your crazy to not have him in there.

I never had any doubt that the OC didnt call plays. You guys are still crazy if you think Miles has always called the plays.

He's quietly having a pretty good year. Defensive front will be excellent by seasons end IMO

The defense is getting worked over too much by division 2 level opponents. I fear alabama and atm.

the offense looks super spectacular mostly except for the few times they sputtered and punted against the same division 2 level opponents.

TCU is having a losing season already. They were a tad overrated.

Hard to tell how good we are when we dont play anybody. We usually rib pac 10 and big 12 fans for the same reasons. We havent played anybody and our stats look super.

Have seen nothing to back away from my call of a BCS title. Defense still gelling and finding key players but no worse than anyone else's in SEC. Aerial attack means less wear on OL and backs late season. Opponents have to finally pick which sword to fall in with the offense. Beckwith, White, Robinson, and Jefferson will make a difference mid season if not earlier. Our O puts pressure on other offenses to keep up and will lead to mistakes on their part. Miles will lighten up on length and physicality of practices as we go forward. Backs will be used like last night, to stay fresh all season and give D of other team a new fast rabbit to chase late in the game. Special teams has come a long way from Arlington (length of kickoffs and explosive plays). Ego and Freak ate on a roll now. DE getting good pressure. Kwon coming on strong. Angles need to be cleaned up in D but that will come, by teaching or embarrassment. My 0.02$ worth anyway.

-3 & outs WAY down
- 3rd down conversion WAY up
-no INT's
-Magee & Neighbors are nice additions to O
-LB & DB play must improve now that were in SEC play
-very happy that FG kicked is not being overused

I'm sticking to my prediction of 9-3 or even 8-4. I think we have the offensive talent to keep us in all the games we play but we continue to be a mistake proned football team, I'm still considering GA, BAMA, & A&M losses. Ole Miss scares me as a very fast offensive team that could give us that 4th loss. We don't have the experience defensively & we have defensive match up issues against the 4 teams mentioned. Love our offense (except for the penalties). Defense...talented but lacking experience.

Our O-line might be top 5 in the nation
Mett is on pace to shatter every passing record
Still questioning the kickers
14-0

GTFO with this garbage.

I'll make a permanent ban bet with you that we don't lose all three of these games.


As for the season, it's about what I expected except I did not expect the exceptional proficiency of the offense.

Everyone is down on the D, but I feel most of that is just that the D doesn't instill fear like it has in past years. Maybe when the rotations are solidified and we actually start using pressure packages we will appear more like the normal LSU D. I'm not worried about the D, they don't have to be all world with our new O anyway.

Glad to see less drops. Even happier Hill is back.
