Reasons LSU fans should pull for Notre Dame
1) LSU recruits against Alabama for top recruits
2) One year of sec team dominance won't change the prestige of the conference reputation

I fully agree. Forget the SEC streak. I'm a LSU fan first and foremost. Any thing good happens for the Crimson Tide is bad for LSU.

That scoring play was a mental break down by someone in the secondary. Someone was supposed to be man-to-man. TM was so special because of his instinct. He probably would have sniffed it out.

Playing quality non conference foes will prepare us better for the SEC. Not to say we have any one-n-done guys, but there is no time like the present. IMO, u take your lumps in the non conference games, hoping that it will improve you quicker for conference play. Think about how the Oregon game improved our play last season. Plus you will get a lot more fans in the Dome if you are playing Duke than if you play Texas Southern.

But we really shouldn't expect many outsiders to have the same faith we all have in our Tigers. We barely score enough points to beat ATM and Auburn. Two teams that haven't shown any kind of defensive ability all year. We have to believe in our defense that held ATM to 12 points for most of the game and gave them an extra TD due to some stupid penalties on their last drive. This same ATM team that is 3rd nationally in scoring offense with 46 ppg. The same team that put 60+ points up on Auburn. We are better than the final results of those two games. We just haven't translated it to points on the board. Will our offense finally do something? I don't know, but I believe that Chavis will come up with a plan to have our defense put the offense I position to win. Will our special teams step-up and play like they are capable? We haven't punted, kicked FGs, returned punts, or even covered like kicks like we are capable. But we do have that capability.
Will all 3 phases of our team show up finally? I just find it hard to believe that we will not put it all come together more than once (Washington anybody?) in 9 games.

Due to unforeseen loses of players, I still believe we have the components to play like the team that started the season #1. As far as I'm concerned, who cares what the national people think. I believe. Geaux Tigers!!!!

So much talk about if LSU has any chance they will... Or LSU lacks such and such. I have never heard so much doubt since the Dinardo years. Bama is beating teams like they did in 2011. And our defense held them in check. Our offense has too start clicking, but we have the components to win.

All the pressure is on Alabama right now. They are the ones who are undefeated, sitting at #1. I believe Chavis will bring at least 5 rushers on almost every down and we will see a lot of 3-man fronts when Bama spread us out. But the pressure from the blitz will be key. We can't allow AJ to have time to throw those deep outs and corner routes because he has proven that he can hit them with consistancy.

Offensively, we have to pass on 1st down and we must establish some kind of running game. Passing it 29 times won't be the key. Moving chains to get field position will be. And passing the ball between the two high safeties will be what deteremines our success.

We have got to have someone keep the safeties inside the hashes. I like the 3 WR set with two split backs from the gun. If we do go playaction the FB and RB need to be on opposite sides two protect both sides of the center. Last week was the first time in a long time that I saw more than 3 wrs in the route. I think the OL has really come along recently and we could see more multiple wrs.

LSU loss @ UF>>>> Bama loss @ home vs. Moo State

Our loss would be a better loss because it was away from Tiger Stadium against a top 10 team. But Bama would still be ranked ahead of us because Saban doesn't loss games, his team beats themselves therefore the other team didn't actually win.
