Where are MSU fans getting this confidence?

Last year?

A QB that is light years better than Etling, perhaps?

They got man handled by a struggling LSU team a week before Les Miles got fired last year, came back to make it close in garbage time (typical miles). They have inferior talent and coaching. What gives them this insane level of confidence that they will beat a team they've beaten twice in the last 25 yrs? Still spoiled by 2015?

First, it was 2014.

Second, 4th quarter two score games in the SEC aren't "garbage time."

Third, the gap between the talent isn't as huge as you might think, and the coaching might be even.

Fourth, those games in the past 25 years don't matter. John Bond won four in a row against you. No one's touting that.

We had the ball with a chance to win the game on a final drive last year. The game has come down to the last possession 3 years in a row. The game is at home for us. You have a caveman for a head coach. All of these factor in.

And this year you have an idiot running your entire team

Didn't realize 23-20 was considered a manhandling.

You can't give someone a Gremlin when he is used to driving a Corvette and expect him to win races.

What does this even mean?

And now you have an idiot running your team. What's changed?

There was a brief time when I might have given you this. But in watching the last two games closely it certainly appears that the LSU team is extremely well coached. In the game this week they expertly managed the clock before halftime. This is starting to look like a game coaching upgrade. Les was a fantastic program manager but this new staff looks to be better on game day.
