re: LSU returns better team - how could they lose in Nov?

The problem with LSU is it's identity. Les Miles is doing everything possible to change an SEC team into a Big 10 team. Let's take a look at LSU's offensive line - big, slow and not very athletic. Most are 6'5 or taller with no speed and poor footwork. Who am I describing? Sounds like Michigan, Ohio State or Wisconsin doesn't it.

Miles has his defensive playmakers on the dline and backfield and has done a poor job of recruiting great linebackers, who are the real playmakers. Don't get me wrong, LSU has had great dlinemen and backs, but your playmakers on any great team are your linebackers and dbacks.

Will it be very hard to beat LSU on a saturday night in tiger stadium? Bet your arse it will be! But, as I look at LSU this fall, I can't help but believe that Miles is transforming an SEC team into a Big 10 team. Good Luck with that one Tiger Fans!
