I just read a thread on there which really wasn't delusional at all. Perhaps there are others which are, however we know we don't have any fans like that. Some of their reasonable fans have a good grasp on things. Of course they're going to be excited and optimistic about their team, they're looking at it as their biggest home game in a long time.

That being said, I think we just wear them down on O, and they have problems moving the ball against us. I think we'll win comfortably, but that's why we play the game.

I worry that the massive LSU o-line is just going to lean on our smaller defensive line all day for 4 and 5 yard runs. LSU's right tackle literally outweighs Bruce Irvin by 100 pounds. Not only would that serve the purpose of getting enough offense for their amazing defense to rely on, it would also keep our offense off the field, limiting the chances we have against that defense. I'm worried, folks. That said, Les Miles always has some crazy $%^& up his sleeve, so we'll hope for a turnover or two, good special teams, and the homefield advantage to turn the tide.

The aspect I am most worried about is our defense wearing down, aka T.O.P for LSU. We need to at least make a first down or two on most possession to give a break to our D. If not it will be a long second half. Hopefully score, but that doesnt happen every possession as we know. We can't drop passes like we did today fo sho.

Though I would love to see us win next week, I have to give the edge to LSU. I am trying to be realistic. We can't run very well at all and probably not against their front 4. If we had problems with runs and screens to the edge with Maryland, LSU will be a bigger problem. They have a better secondary than MD (that can be more aggressive without much of a run threat) and MD had large gaps in our front 3 to run through at times today. LSU is lucky or well coached and will force at least 3 to 4 turnovers. We have to attack fast and in the middle and I'm afraid we won't do that. To many plays to the outside and those lob passes in the end zone need some looking at. The (somewhat)power run looked at little better today with Alston, but still short of what we might need to be LSU. Our D sometimes can't get off the field. I don't think LSU will score at will but their D may keep Geno running a good bit. MD is a pretty good team though and good game before LSU. Now MD is how you run a fast offense. I hope Dana has some cards up his sleeve. It should be a good game but I think forced turnovers might be the difference.

Just playing devil's advocate here, and I don't even know why :)
