Be honest in your answer. Y'all are down 6 with the ball and have to drive 80 yards to win the game. Do you really believe Allen can do that.

We're obviously not a quick-strike team, but yea, I do think Allen can do that. The problems we've had in the past were largely due to Chaney's play-calling and a lack of receivers, but hopefully that changes this year. We have a new OC who's a better QB coach and better receivers, including our TE's.

That's a fair question, but I honestly think you'll see more quick-strike ability with this team.

Allen is set to have a really good year but he's been a little injury prone.

We've got talent and depth on the D line but a lot of it is young and the upper classmen haven't demonstrated the same disruptive big play ability that Flowers and Philon had. We need a couple of them to step up, maybe they will, maybe they won't.

And we've only got one proven LB.


one

That's the worst excuse ever. If I were a LSU fan and believed that, I'd probably kill myself.


If my fanbase was hyped up after winning 2 conference games in the past two years and four over the last three years, I'd probably do the same.

If your team played in a real conference, you'd probably receive that chance.

But out of curiosity, where is all this hype you mentioned?

He almost did it against MState... got picked off in the endzone, but he drove down the field on our last chance.

Yep, and Ragnow has added 40 lbs of muscle.

I think Arkansas is still a year or two away. They are already a really punishing team and trending in the right direction but they are still building. I think their ceiling will be 3rd in the west which is still very respectable.

That's a fair answer and one most Arkansas fans would agree with.

Well they haven't made me believe they are better than pretty much every team in the West on a consistent basis. I am saying they go 4-4 in conference this year.

I guess your trying to be funny but Georgia is too 3 or 4 in just about every stat dealing with winning in the sec.

4-4 is about middle of the pack. Last year, most of you said we'd finish last, so I guess we're moving on up.

Any team whose QB has a pulse and halfway decent receivers can beat Arky. Unfortunately, that means only TAMU, Aubie, and Moo State right now. Things could change, but I think that A&M and Auburn are the two most likely to beat them. If it becomes a straight smash-mouth ground game, then Arky can hang.

@lsu is easy? Idc about how we don't get up for the Arkansas game but I hate them and as long as our players get up for the game we should be ok

It's easier to just not care.

Be sure to tell your players.

I recently signed Bert up for the Butter of the Month Club but it might be 2016 before we achieve a full circulatory shutdown.

You're insane. I wouldn't bet that Brandon Allen could facilitate a 2 min drill at home, let alone on the road.

Auburn wins by double digits this year.
