Williams is averaging 5.5 ypc and Guice is averaging almost 10 ypc. Even Brandon Harris is rushing for about 6 yards a pop. They aren't getting the touches but nobody is Leonard Fournette though. They'd be starting at many of other places.

I think LSU and A&M both will have interesting Novembers. If LSU WRs catch the ball more effectively, then I look for LSU to make a run. Folks can rightfully point to the 4-15 for 80 yards and call LSU one dimensional-that's fair.
But where most are wrong is that they blame Harris. He's played well as well as he's needed to, and the LSU WRs have made him look bad.
I hope LSU throws it to Quinn more. That would mean we are not throwing down field as much, which we did far too much vs EMU IMO. Harris never got in a groove with his WRs and after a few missed shots down field, the drops started occurring.

Overrated/underrated is a personal opinion. Just win the games on the schedule and let dumb people voice their opinions. I like LSU in every game this season.

LSU most overrated. Rushing O is only real strong suit. Lots of questions in every other phase.

Yeah, it hasn't been earned or anything. Bama is just averaging 11-1 for the past 7 years. Say it again, 7 years 11-1 Average. It's not like they're a one hit wonder or won on a bunch of fluke plays.
Digusting. How could anyone think Bama is actually a really good team, they have a loss.

The struggle is real for non LSU fans

I think at the moment LSU has two concerning spots, the passing game and special teams.
There is no doubt the defense is very good, we are just thin in terms of depth which is a little concerning. I wouldn't take much in to EMU game as LSU played the same formation all game with vanilla play calling (defensively). There are a lot of young players that played all game, and LSU will be much better when we are a little healthier.
I think people are undermining the LSU passing game. I agree its been a very underwhelming and is unacceptable at this point. Harris has played much better than what his stats have shown. He's putting the ball in very good locations and has been accurate most of the time. Whats concerning is LSU's Wr's lack of aggressiveness and inability to make routine catches that are expected out of Division I players. The O line has been suspect at times as well when passing, which to me can be contributed by lack of passing. I think things can be fixed. I am not really worried about Harris, we have a QB who can make us a dangerous offense, we just need to clean things.
Whats most alarming is the special team, kick off and punt coverage has been the worst I have seen in sometime. Its completely unacceptable. We kick very short kickoffs, punting is a complete hit or miss. The special teams coach really does need to go after this season. Florida, Alabama, Ole Miss, A&M will all have a field day on special teams against us unless we fix things quickly.
So at the moment, I think LSU is not playing to the level they should be at. I do not think LSU is overrated at all, LSU has always played down to opponents and up to opponents in big games under Les.
I think LSU will be fine, I think we will beat USCe, play a close game with a very good Florida game. We should go into Alabama undefeated. I think anything is possible with this group.
At this point, I think every team has its flaws and weaknesses. While Coker had a terrific game against UGA, I wouldn't jump up and down just yet. I would wait for consistency first, and this is for ever QB around the country.
Should be a fun next few weeks

Just say LSU so most other fanbases will be happy. For some reason Missouri fans enjoy talking about LSU.

Everyone has holes. Everyone.
I'm going with LSU ONLY because they are currently ranked the highest and attached to the highest expectations.
I'm aware of the crawfish.

Alabama is the most overrated.
The loss to Ole Miss happened. it was real. and it was at home. pounding Georgia does not negate the loss. Just like Ole Miss win over Alabama does not negate the disaster in the swamp.
Alabama has:
a loss against a team AT HOME that was/is thought to be good, but was destroyed by a team we are unsure of.
-and-
a win against a team thought good but completely without proof. Georgia hasn't done anything this year.
Alabama should be ranked about 15th right now. It is early in the season and rankings ought to be more representative of the actual situation, and that should be counterbalanced by increased fluidity. Alabama might be a 9-3 team who just beat a 7-6 team, we just don't know. The disgusting benefit of the doubt that Alabama continually gets is just so tiresome.
Damn, he mad.

I guess it's too much to ask to rank teams on facts, not presumptions.

Kirk would return 2 for TDs if LSU and aTm played today. Special teams needs to improve, by leaps and bounds, before that game.
ETA: To answer the OP, it's LSU.
