Look they are all great points being made. I especially agree with the way LSU wide receivers block. I think that gives them a big edge in the NFL.

I was just responding to the statistics of both teams NFL wide receivers. Can you honestly say that both teams have been working with even close to the same talent? Look at the guys you just listed. They were all top 50 wide receiver recruits in the country. Josh Boyce was unranked and only other offer was SMU.

My point is, with the sample size of receivers we are using, TCU's best wide receiver recruit in that time frame wasn't even ranked as high as LSU's lowly 3 stars. When you are constantly getting 4 and 5 stars some are bound to be successful in the league.

LSU can say, "Stephen look at all these guys in the NFL, you could be another." TCU can say, "Stephen we don't have as many NFL guys but we have never recruited a talent like you." As a fan of both schools I think he would be successful at either. The real waste would be if he ended up at MSU.

As a frequent visitor to the board and Lsu being my second team, just wanted to say great game to the tigers. While the score was close and it made for a good game, y'all controlled most of the game. I have a lot of respect for the athletes that Lsu has. I am hoping that y'all run the table and we can do the same and maybe meet again. Both teams have to make a few adjustments but also have a lot of potential. Have a great rest of the season and I will see y'all in BR a few times this year.

Considering the type of offenses in the Big 12, I would say it is an accomplishment. However, doesn't make you a winning team

I get it I get it, the SEC > Big 12. Spare me because I don't disagree.

They did in 3 of their losses last year. That vaunted d git shredded. Texas Tech put up 56 pts.

Oklahoma St. was really the only game the Frogs did not have a chance of winning. Tech also had one of the top offenses in the country and it took 3 OTs to score those 56 points. Three turnovers hurt the Frogs.

I think LSU wins this game. I know cherry picking that score has to help make you feel a lot better about it.

Agree with post that their DB's having a lot of tackles does not speak well of their defense, and perhaps of their offense. Was the defense on the field a lot due to an inept offense? Was the DL good, so eveyone passed against them or was their DL and LB's not that good, leaving the DB's to make all of the tackles

I was going to start a thread asking what you guys thought about the game vs. TCU. I figured it would be easier to just add on to this.

I think the DB tackle numbers are a little bit misleading because a lot of our safeties play close to the line in the 4-2-5. Almost like linebackers.

I will give my shot at where the edges are.

QB: Draw - I say this because we are not sure which Casey Pachall will show up this year. If its the Casey of old then the Frogs have the edge. I have not been that impressed with Mett. However, if he comes out like he did vs. Bama then the Tigers will be in good shape.

DL: Frogs - This one is very close only because of LSU inexperience. I know the Tigers reload there. I do think you will be impressed with the Frogs DL.

LB: Tigers - I am not sure what LSU will do to replace Minter but I do know that yall usually put some athletes out there. TCU is pretty weak at the LB position right now.

DB: Frogs - I have a really tough time picking the Frogs here because LSU always puts great DBs on the field. Patterson has said how impressed he is with our secondary unit and that says a lot because the DBs are his unit. Also our entire secondary is returning from the #1 defense in a pass heavy Big 12.

OL: Tigers - I have heard yall have some good returning players and I know the Tigers are always strong in the trenches. The Frogs have some tough roles to fill in our interior OL. It is nice having both tackles returning after a year of experience.

RB: Tigers - The Frogs have a talented group coming in and last years stats don't show our talent at all. Our #1 running back (Waymon James) tore his ACL early in the year and will be ready to go in the fall. Also former 5 star RB Aaron Green transfered in from Nebraska and has looked very good in the spring. All that said, they are not a proven bunch like the Tigers are. That is a very talented stable of backs you have.

WR: Tigers - I think this is a closer margin than some tigers may think. It was tough to showcase our WRs because Boykin is not the passer that Pachall is. We did however lose our #1 receiver in Boyce to the draft. Anytime you do that you will take a step back. Look for JaJuan Story (former 5 star transfer from Florida) to try to take his place. ODB and Landry headline a great group for the Tigers.

TE: TIGERS - We never use our TE and it is annoying as sh*t.

FB: Tigers - Just wanted to add this because I love Copeland.

I am sorry for the long post but I felt that I could give yall a good insight on what we will bring to the game. I have been an LSU fan for a long time and consider them my second college team. I usually make it to at least one game a year in Tiger Stadium. Here is to hoping I don't have to witness the Tigers doing what you did to Oregon last time I was at Jerry World watching the Tigers.
