Just how I see it playing out from what I’ve seen so far this year.

I think this will be the best LSU has looked all year on defense.

• We can’t run the ball
• We don’t pass well enough or have a grind it out offense that can take full advantage of how bad LSU’s defense is. It will still be about how many explosive TDs we can pass for.
• Our offense has put on film some REALLY easy ways to flat out stop us in our tracks. With LSU having zero to lose with this terrible defense, look for them to throw the kitchen sink. Milroe has no clue when a corner blitz is coming. LSU has no reason to not go nuts with those types of things.
• LSU WILL play more relaxed and free than us. It always does, and we have no OL to sorta take control of any game.

And I’m seeing “elite offense vs elite defense.” Our defense is not as good as their offense. And ELITE offense simply wins today. And as much as I love this team and the defense, it is not scared of getting abused for parts of games.

Metrics have it as close as it gets. I just think LSU will have an easier time doing what they have to do to win than we will.

It doesn’t take a great defense to pick Milroe. Those plays are on him when he throws picks.
It doesn’t take a great defense to slow our run game. They do that themselves.
It doesn’t take a great defense to make the OL look lost and give up sacks and penalties. They do it on their own.

We frick up too much shite on offense to beat teams with offenses like LSU, imo
