Hell, Alabama's first and goal on the A&M 6 yardline, and doesn't pound it on in to win the game. Every team occasionally has a brain fart.

It isn't our fault we were stopping your running game because the threat of the pass was non existent because AJ was sucking.

If they can hold off alabama, A&M and ole miss and before yall rape my arse (Cause i know you frickers will) Ole miss usually plays LSU pretty close. Besides the last two seasons of Nutt, Ole Miss almost beat them last year, and beat them twice 4 and 5 years ago

You obviously didn't watch the game. A&M has the top stats and Alabama, the bottom. You may not want to look. Nobody enjoys being made to look like an idiot.

So we forced more turnovers, converted third downs more efficiently, rushed for more yards, and most importantly scored more points....

You're right... I'm the one who looks like an idiot here...

" the threat of the pass was nonexistant"

So A.J. had over 300 yards passing (more than JFF), and your above statement was the crux of your thread. Yeah...you're an idiot.

That was an awful draw.

No serious contender would have been able to get up for a "Clemson". You want your team to get up for every game, but a game like that is just a trap.

LSU had nothing to gain in beating Clemson, Clemson had everything to gain.




Had trouble getting up for a Natty too?

the honest answer is Miles has lost the ability to get his team up for a bowl game.

but when you lose all of a sudden thats your response?
I said that was my biggest concern before the game kicked off.

I think I made a thread about it on here after the matchup was announced.

But whatever.

meh.

They beat Clemson, and it was just a brief mention on a stat sheet.

The only way that game is a big story, is if Clemson wins.

It got Clemson a lot of NC love, warranted or not. I think they are picked to beat FSU and win ACC. UGA and SCar looks to be their biggest games.

You are lashing out cause the media doesn't see LSU in the same light that they see Bama.
No.

I am pointing out that LSU is considered the 6th best team in the conference by the AP.

The only team ahead of LSU, that I think could be better than LSU. . .Bama and UGA.

And I am iffy on UGA

Both those teams will curb-stomp Clemson.

I don't know know. SCar only won by 10 last year and UGA is notorious for a slow start. But I expect them both to win, yes.

Damn some of you LSU folks are annoying. LSU is going to be a very good team but you have a lot working against you.

1. You lost to Clemson in the Chicken Bowl. This is the same Clemson that USC had just thumped at Clemson.

2. You lost A LOT of folks from last year. Do you have talent to replace it? Sure, but there is a lot of unknowns when you replace so much.

3. The difference between Top 3 and Top 6 in the SEC could be a bounce of the football. 3 losses probably puts you at 6.

4. A lot of people outside of BR are very skeptical that you can just hire an OC that was fired from the NFL for sucking and expect your offense to magically be fixed.

5. LSU has a ridiculously tough schedule this year with as many as 5 games that will be as tough as Clemson and easily the toughest in the SEC. Georgia, Florida, A&M, Bama, and even TCU are going to be very tough games. I also wouldn't sleep on the road trip to Oxford the week after playing Florida.

6. The good news (if you want to call it that) is LSU will get every chance to prove just how good they are this year due to that schedule.

Defensively perhaps, but returned plenty.

3 losses in the regular season is a wasted season.

Fair criticism.

Clemson was only tough because of the circumstances around it, not because of the team we played.

Seems like that is exactly what I said in my OP
