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!

Wow. So we pass for 250 yards in the spring game, Miles has stated publicly that we will throw the ball a lot more in 2012, but we are turning into a Big 10 team. Uhhh, ok, Socrates, whatever you want to fantasize about.
Where in the everloving flying possum coital act to you assume LSU's O-line is slow and not athletic? LSU will have their best O-line in history this year, only losing 1 starter and returning injured former starter Josh Dworyczak back to the team; plus two huge 'athletic' blocking TEs in Edwards and Jacobs and two pass-catching TEs in Clement and Dickson.
While we have probably the best stable of tailbacks in the nation with Ford, Hilliard, Ware, Magee, Blue, and Hill, plus a returning starter 270 pound FB, we will return 8 playmaking wide receivers, including returning starters Shepard and Beckham, plus future stars Jarvis Landry, K.Boone, J. Wright, A.Williams, T. Dural, A. Johnson and others.

Good luck with that one Shama fans !!!

just because you keep telling yourself you have the best "stable" of backs in the country...doesn't mean its true....BUT BUT WE HAVE 5th and 6th stringers that can start at any program in the nation.

Edwards is a 6'4" 235 senior who didnt catch a pass last year
Jacobs is 6'5'" 250 and he hasnt done shite in his two years

neither one of those guys are "huge" or particularly "athletic" as far as TEs go.

Chase Clement is a converted DE who has never caught more than 2 passes in a game. Dickson is a 230 pound ginger who has only caught one pass in his career.

Those TEs arent scaring anybody in the SEC. none of them create any real matchup problems

you only had three last year, that was Sheppard, Randle, and Beckham. If you count special teams tackles I'll grant you 4. but Randle is gone and how the frick you came up with 8 i'll never know.

how come if that running game is so good it got shut down by UGA in the first half of the SECCG and could barely get past the 50 against Bama?
