You watched the your Bulldogs play against BYU and LSU last year. How do you think LSU will fare this year and what should LSU fans expect when watching?
BYU is physical in the trenches as they get 24 year olds who do a 2 year mission. Ncaa allows that. So their bodies are such. They usually produce QB's too. To be honest, I think MSU had better overall takent last year but a DC in over his head and a new QB etc was not a recipe for success. This is a game where LSU can break them running the football and wear them down. Plus your defense will be good. LSU wins 38-14

This stretch could be pretty physically demanding.
I don't disagree.
But with the Arkansas game being in Texas and South Carolina being in College Station, I gave us some benefit of the doubt (perhaps more than I should).

you're good. The Ags should prevail in both of those matchups. I think A&M will be a lot better than even your own fanbase expects. Posted on 8/3/17 at 10:55 pm to ImayGoLesMiles

You have not played them since 2009 where you beat them 24-16. They were only a 4 win team that year. They have won 9 games in each of the last 3 years. Skip Holtz has done a good job there.

I guess we do kinda have s different perspective of them being in the same state and all but...theyre louisiana tech. They have s ores a total of 58 points on lsu in the 19 times we have played them. Almost all of them have been bad blowouts. Tech isn't good.
Last time they played it was not a blow out. If you want to live in the past, go ahead. But the past isn't going to help LSU beat them next year. Thinking like that is just the kind of thing that makes a team slip up. LSU likely wouldnt have the balls to play in Ruston anyway.

I don't know that you'd beat LSU regardless of where it was played but I will say this, Skip Holtz has turned that program around since becoming head coach. He's had four 9 winning seasons in 5 years. That offense is tricky good and putting up big points. If he gets that defense going then I see 11 win seasons soon.

They got our old DC from last year who had never been a DC and was in over his head. They will give up a lot of points.
So y'all just traded DCs with Louisville then?
Ours is probably:
Vs. UF
USC
@ AU
UK
@ Tech

Yes, if you can believe that.

I'm not saying the outcome would be different elsewhere. But it's nice to have the chance to find out. I commend MSU for scheduling away games to anyone. This will make twice in ten years, I think. Pretty different from zero in 100 years.
I look forward to our September 9th, I do hope its a good one no matter the winner.

We did a much better job scheduling cupcakes between games and with our bye week draw to break things up.
We!? We didn't have anything to do with it. The good ole' boyz that Roy Kramer left in the scheduling department took care of it. Just as they always have.

That is an evil stretch of games. Ole Miss will be swinging for the fences because what do they have to lose? I do think, unless the wheels really come off, that LSU handles the Vols with ease and probably runs over the Aggies. Still that is as nasty a five or so game stretch there as you will see.

LSU
Aggies
Georgia'
@ Missouri
@ South Carolina
Three top 25 teams, then two away games that should be at least challenging.

If your toughest part of the schedule includes a bye then you're schedule isn't that tough.

Texas A&M has what I consider the most favorable schedule we've had since joining the SEC.
I don't see a 3-game stretch that looks bad at all.
And if I had to choose our toughest 2-game stretch, it'd be Alabama, followed by the trip to Florida.
@UCLA
Nicholls State
Louisiana
Arkansas @Arlington
South Carolina
Alabama
@Florida
-BYE-
MS State
Auburn
New Mexico
@Mississippi
@LSU
We have a very evenly distributed schedule. Obviously, Bama then @ UF is going to wreck just about anyone, but at least we get a bye and State to right before Auburn the New Mexico & Ole Miss before LSU.
