Hey MWash, note to self - you lost.

We did lose. And I didn't say for certain that we would win. I did say LSU would have trouble stopping our offense - I was ridiculed by many on here for 6 pages. I also said it would be a close game going into the 4th quarter. I was right.

AND, I can say that I feel much better about our loss than you probably do about your win.

With that said, good luck the rest of the way.

Two names in my first post last Thursday - Jake and Polk!! And I was laughed at...

But what is the word about the reason you guys played like that last night? Obviously, you didn't play the way you could have, and that worked out great for us.

But, was it do to coaching, or other X factors (environment, time change, etc).

24 points.

24/34
210 passing yards
7 scrambles, 83 rushing yards
2 TD's (1 rush, 1 pass)

I love all of these 34-17, 31-17 type predictions that some LSU fans have thrown out. That's one interception away from being a very close game.

Prime time in Husky Stadium, light rain, cool, wet, first game of the year, questions still surrounding the LSU defense, the return of Jake Locker, and the emergence of CSS, my prediction -

LSU - 23
Washington - 21

Washington leads 21-20 late until the fourth, but LSU gets a few big breaks, a kicks a long field goal in the last few minutes to win.

:cheers:

It will be close. LSU fans will be surprised come Saturday.

We may not win, be we won't lose by 17+ either.

LSUTigahs, the 0-12 record doesn't apply this year. That was last year, with our old coach and the absence of our star QB.

This year, Jake is back, we have a new coaching staff, renewed energy, and zero pressure come Saturday. And, contrary to what you may hear, we do have talent.

Was 8-5 representative of LSU last year?

Again, I'm not saying we will come out and dominate. BUT, I think we can stay with you guys into the 4th. Our offense with Jake and CSS will be potent, and it will be up to the LSU defense to stop it. This is a task they may have trouble with.

Getting back Locker is impossible to quantify for Washington. The physical and emotional pulse of this program, he gives the Huskies a chance to do the improbable. He’s also surrounded by a talented group of untapped skill position players, like RB Chris Polk and receivers D’Andre Goodwin and Jermaine Kearse, who should blossom with the help of a better triggerman. They’ll be facing an LSU defense that isn’t as nasty or impenetrable as in recent years. The Tigers sprung countless leaks during the regular season, prompting Les Miles to hire former Tennessee coordinator John Chavis.

While the LSU defense may be better, it won't be the wall that it was back in 2003 when you guys beat Oklahoma!
