Lol, classic. Throw "you're upset" in there. Nice job, keyboard warrior.

Do you honestly think that 12/13 AU and 14/15 LSU are anything remotely alike? In case you've forgotten....after 2012 we fired errybody. We brought in a new head coach, new system, new everything. Including a JUCO QB that proved himself at that level. What anybody did to us in '12 had no bearing on '13, because we were essentially a brand new team.
That's not even close to LSU 14/15. You have the same head coach. You have the same system. You have the same shitty quarterbacks. Do I think we AUTOMATICALLY beat LSU simply because we did last year? No, of course not. That is idiotic thinking. But I think that there is enough evidence to suggest, to me personally as an auburn fan, that we are good enough. Trying to preview our 2013 squad based on 2012..you can't say the same thing.

Gotta say UT because we are in similar spots. Not gonna worry with the teams that are suppose to beat us

The one between an SEC school and another school for the National Championship.

What are you rambling about? None of that is even remotely relevant. Like, literally 0 relevance. You don't need a full sweep to have a major turnaround. Especially when you already have a loaded roster.
You know what is relevant though? LSU was the second youngest team in the conference last year, behind Tennessee.

It was extremely relevant when you look at the post I was responding to. The guy specifically referenced teams whooping us in 12 and that not being the case in 13, so you can't use previous data for the future. As to the last point, I agreed with him and said as much. Because that's true. I also pointed out the MASSIVE difference in au 12/13 and lsu 14/15, which is also true.
Yall sure do get defensive. I didnt' say LSU sucked or weren't any good. In fact, the only negative thing I said about LSU was I don't think your QB situation will be resolved by game 3 and am more worried abotu a team that has had our number recently...is that such a crazy notion?

I am just telling you why people aren't convinced
there are plenty of people, who have followed the QB situation much closer, that are convinced LSU will be drastically improved at QB.
Here's one example from SDS

I do suggest you read the article, it's very in-depth.
I have always been a little pessimistic with LSU's QB situation since Flynn left. And while I know it's just a spring game, both QB's looked vastly improved. Not to mention anyone who actually knows anything about 2014's LSU squad knows there were plenty of other issues besides the QB. WR's and OL both needed to make major improvements this offseason.
eta and as the article mentions, Brandon Allen for Arkansas is a prime example of how you can turn things around in 1 offseason.

Not at all. I was just pointing out that you don't need a major overhaul as a program to actually improve. That is a risible line of thinking.

You're rambling again. I haven't said one thing about why AU should or shouldn't be worried about playing LSU. I also agree with your statement.

some quotes:

His performance in last season’s spring game
quote:
late-game exploits in what seemed like a blow-out loss
quote:
He’s not only fast, but he also accelerates to full speed rather quickly
quote:
He has yet to master the mechanical part of quarterbacking
quote:
there has been accounts of Harris having trouble leading the huddle and not being able to spit the verbiage out comfortably
quote:
Jennings’ statline: 11 TDs, 7 INTs, 49 percent completion rate
So to sum up; he is fast, looked great in the spring game, and has a lot of potential to improve. Ok, great. That doesn't really mean a whole lot.

So you summed it up with quotes that you chose to pull out. I could do the same, but from another perspective.

Outside of NMSU, ECU, VU, and FAU...every game.

And look, I get it. Everyone wants to assume that a freshman, or sophomore, will not improve after a full offseason of coaching. It really does make total sense. It is certainly not wishful thinking because you don't want to see LSU improve. In fact, it's pretty objective of you, so I'll e-applaud you for that.

I do want LSU to improve, why wouldn't I? If they were to beat florida, auburn, SC, and bama this year I woudl be absolutely ecstatic. I have no reason to pull against LSU this year..or any year really.
I'm just saying that the link you posted to show that the national media is all on board the Harris hype train is based on nothing more than potential. That's what most of the article was really, saying how good he can eventually be and showing some gifs from a practice game in April. I fully expect LSU's QB situation to be improved htis year; it'd be nearly impossible not to. I'm just saying I'm not going "all in" on it being all that great either until I actually see it in games. That's all.

In fairness, Buck indicated in an earlier post that objectively, LSU should beat Alabama this year. I don't think it's crazy to ask what "objectively" would lead one to believe that we "should" beat them on the road this year.
I also believe that the team will be improved in a few areas and certainly HOPE that one is QB play. There is no question in my mind that our team CAN win the game.
As to the OP, I'm currently most worried about the Miss St. game because it's early, on the road and could potentially set the stage for the season.

I never said anything about the national media. In fact, I just mentioned folks who have followed the situation closely. The national media doesn't follow offseason/spring games closely.

well idk what we're debating then.

I never implied anyone should. I'm just stating that other people do expect a major improvement. Funky tide insinuated that no one expects the QB situation to improve drastically, which is obviously an ignorant and false statement. I can guarantee you that Gus and his staff are well aware that Harris has the ability to turn it on once he's grasped the offense and matured. And anyone who watched the spring game saw more than just glimpses of what he's capable of once he settles in.

I worry about all SEC games, and since the LSU game is our first SEC game, I'll say that one.

I agree completely, but still think, along with plenty of others, that LSU should and will see a major improvement at the QB position.
