I'm not saying that LSU will suck the meat missile here. I expect y'all to have a fairly salty defense. However, it is very difficult to absolutely smother everyone on offense in the modern era of football.

Even the great teams find themselves in the occasional shootout now a days. When this year's LSU team shows me that they can hang enough points on the board against a good team to win that type of game then I won't bat an eye at them being a top 5 team or even making the CFP.

It comes down to Harris being able to make the throws and his OC putting him in the right situations to make those throws.

I agree

What I'm saying is we smothered no one on defense last year and went 10*-3 (Mcneese)

We held one team to under 20 pts besides ms state going for 2 to attempt to tie at 19. That's including syracuses w 5th string qb, western Kentucky in the rain...

With an elite DC and a Jr QB a one game improvement is crazy? Crazy enough to be the most overrated team in football? 11-2 is good for a top 5 finish almost every year.

Y'all beat us down the last few years while y'all had a bad record and ours was top 15 caliber.
That's what you are using to compare and justify us not having a top 5 ranking. We beat the majority of the other teams while y'all didn't though.

What I'm telling you is we are not that far off, if y'all would play every week like y'all play us y'all would be top 5-10 as well

If I had to bet on better record (higher ranking) I'd take LSU over Arkansas, if I had to bet on the winner in our head to head that would be a lot tougher

It really is amazing watching what y'all have done to us the last few seasons then comparing our w/l on the schedules
