Serious question: Did moving the USCe game hurt LSU?

Miles seemed to suggest as much after the game, pointing out they hadn't been in a hostile road situation in quite some time. Now I know plenty of people here will jeer at the idea, but, really, it's not a ridiculous one. Hostile road games can really rattle players if they're not used to them, and I can see that being a factor yesterday. I'm not saying they would have won if the circumstances had been different -- Bama dominated them -- but I would argue that they might have been a little more effectual.

I agree with this.

that wasnt homefield advantage. that was LSU not showing up. their lines got dominated BADLY. LSU might as well have lost by 50 points.

I think it did, just a bit.
It is the reason I like the Hogs chances this weekend. We won in front of 100k+ at Tennessee. Played okay on the road in front of 100k+ at Bama. Won this past yesterday in front of 60k+ frat boys.
It helps to go on the road and hear the boo's and to not have a quiet surrounding while you are getting plays in on offense.
Still, that was not the reason LSU lost the way they did.

It didn't help.

Did he suggest the he and Cam had a horrible game-plan that made Bama look better than they really are?
And they are really really good on D.

Yes and I thought that as soon as they moved the USCe game. Our last true road game was the first game of the season.

No, they were dominated. I agree with that. But they seemed to be floundering on occasion, which hasn't seemed to be a problem in other games. So I took interest in Miles' statement about playing on the road.

I don't think it mattered that much. OL was outmatched more than anyone expected, so the same result would have happened in Tiger Stadium.

Hell no. Not changing your gameplan since the 2010 victory hurt yall.
That and Harris' lucky down the field throw up for grabs passes did not connect. Been saying for a month that Brandon Harris and Jermery Johnson are the same style of player.

Not "y'all", just so we're clear. I am what my iconography-based affiliation says I am, i.e. a Vandy fan. I'm not making excuses for LSU, just asking what I consider a legitimate question.

He's just being clear. I once had a beer on a future yesterday. Destroyed several alternate timelines in the process, but it was worth it. That was a damned good beer.

Because God forbid that LSU actually get beaten because another team was good or executed better....
Did you like it better when Saban was at LSU and he was throwing players under the bus for not following "the process" and that was why he lost games? Serious question.

You guys do match up with us well, but I can't remember the last time we lost to an unranked team at home. It was definitely prior to 2010. I expect y'all to be competitive as y'all often are, but I would be surprised to see y'all leave with a victory.

Except USCe would not properly prepare them for last night. Is that the best L5U can come up with this year?

Sigh. Again...not an LSU fan. I think lots of people here know I like Bama more than LSU for various reasons. And I'm not making excuses for the loss, just talking about a general concept that could be applied to pretty much any team that has to take its first real road game in months.
But, yes, I do concede that playing Williams-Brice isn't close to playing at Bryant-Denny.

Everything hurts us now.
We're just not good.
