LSU lose all 3 opening games? come on man..


Didn't say that was going to happen, didn't predict it, in fact I said I thought LSU will beat Au, even if they lose to MSST and UF.

MSU has zero threat at WR. LSU will stack and pack the LoS.

The Bulldog D will be better, and we're gonna depend on turnovers to threaten LSU.

No Tiger turnovers = long day for Fitz.

I really don't know much about State's D, so I can't say that I have any expectations good or bad for how much we might score. But I just don't see Fitz being able to do enough against Aranda's scheme for it to matter. Two games under our belt should be plenty to get the new guys to gel on defense.


Agree with most of that. I don't think LSU will lose to MSST but it sure seems like a trap game to me with UF the following week. Oeauxs better hope he can keep the focus on MSST as you know the team has the UF game circled after last year.

He looked good. His stats from the last 3 games last year were decent all things considered but the WRs were not used to him and dropped a lot of easy balls that made his accuracy look bad.


Now that's he's had a full year taking 1st team reps I think he will be elite.

21-of-30 for 341 yards and two scores in the spring game. LINK to highlights

How do you feel about the new OC? The red/blue game was full of references to his playbook only having 20something plays. That could be good or bad, I guess

I hate the term make or break when talking September football. Last year you could say that a couple early losses broke USC but they ended top 5. Interesting football discussion at least.

I don't think Florida has a make or break game on the early schedule. They have proven to be resilient under McElwain, they have fought through injuries both years, and even after the early setback in 2016 they still won the division.

LSU is definitely our make-or-break game this year.

I'm expecting a close loss at Clemson, although an upset wouldn't be totally out of the question. But if AU really wants to make some noise in the SEC we have to get the Red Stick monkey off our backs.

A&M at UCLA will tell a lot from the beginning. People forget that UCLA lost 10 starters from the 2016 team that went into a nosedive when Rosen got hurt.
