re: Oklahoma is easily going to rule this conference.

Last time LSU played the Sooners, LSU put 7 TD's on the board. In the first half. Unless I completely mis-read the defensive numbers this past season, your new HC put up a just as bad defense. And unlike Riley, who recruited / signed at 3 Heisman-winning QB's, Venables did not. Please explain your readings of Venable's tea leaves. From my interpretation, TCU is now running your current conference. K. State....K STATE....is now sitting in at # 2. Factually, Coach Kelly beat bama this past season. In his first year. What is your honest, based on reality, take on when Venable will beat bama? How many points will he give up to Lane? Freeze? Petrino? And this is just in the WEST.
