I plan on making my 10th straight LSU-Ole Miss game this Saturday. If there's anything I have learned from the previous 9 LSU-OM games, it's that I should prepare myself for some crazy shite to happen. I have seen some horrible Ole Miss teams give LSU absolute fits and vice versa.
Yes, I still think the shrimp boat captain is a joke, but he does deserve a little bit of credit. LSU played 26 freshmen this past saturday and beat a really good Auburn team. we also showed some serious grit on the road in the swamp two weeks ago.
LSU's defense is starting to come along nicely now that we're getting healthy on the line. Key is finally playing at least somewhat like his old self, though still rusty.
The offense finally seems to be coming around, and we're playing 3 freshmen OL at times in big games. it'll be a nice long term investment with these growing pains. needless to say I think Danny Etling will probably be decapitated on national television when LSU goes to Alabama in a month.
thoughts? I'm kind of thinking 38-28, LSU. I admit that I was a little surprised Ole Miss showed life this past Saturday against Vandy. I just thought the rebs would mail it in after that Alabama game, but that doesn't appear to be the case

I agree. I don’t think OM has quit at all. We are still iffy on defense and the offense can be very much feast or famine, but if the O is hitting on all cylinders they can be very good.

No way it's that close

Which LSU team shows up? The 1st half of Auburn or the 2nd? Can't wait to watch Patterson run around though.

At a quick glance I read it as "Mongolia Bowl".
This is my favorite game of the year but not a fan of naming it a "Bowl".
LSU should win by 10 points. I don't see OM being able to stop Guice/Williams. If Etling has to pass on 3rd downs that will play into our favor as he does not appear to be an accurate qb.

No Victor Evans or Qaadir Sheppard the rest of the season. That sucks.

Somewhat OT but VHS carries no home field advantage. After watching AU-LSU Saturday I know we are sub par *at best* when it comes to crowd noise.

Are you just now figuring this out? Vanderbilt, maybe Mizzou, & maybe Kentucky are the only ones with a worse home field advantage than us in the SEC

I don't like this matchup. I think LSU is going to run it down our throats, and we won't be able to stop it. The only hope I have is that our offense keeps us in the game. I expect a high scoring game. Like 45-35 LSU.

i could easily see this going the route of the 2010 Ole Miss game that was back and forth all day. Also the matchups, imo, are really similar. that was a really talented but really young LSU team. similar script this matchup. However we did trade Les for the shrimp boat captain, so I have a lot less confidence this round.
Shea is going to get his yards, no doubt in my mind. If he doesn't then our young secondary played out of their minds, which I have my doubts with that receiving corps. Not to mention it's a rivalry game on the road

Yeah, I'm well documented on here with high praise of a lot of things about Ole Miss. Oxford is awesome; campus is gorgeous; always have an great time in the grove; but Vaught Hemingway is a pretty terrible place to watch a game. I've been to most SEC venues (a few multiple times), and the Vaught just isn't loud.
I always wondered if it was because it wasn't bowled in, but you guys have been in some trouble since the expansion. too early to tell. still I've been to all of the meaningful LSU-Ole Miss games the last 10-15 years, and the atmosphere is bad. always feels like I'm at a dubstep concert with the piped music

LSU has struggled to run the ball all year

Yea but they haven't played our run defense yet. I'd run the ball 50 times if I were them. We better be prepared for that jet sweep too.

I know that LSU just beat Auburn in comeback fashion, but we can't just forget that they lost to Troy at home 2 weekends ago. LSU is a very hot and cold team, and with the game being at night in Oxford, the team and the fans will be very hyped up.
Shea gets hit a few times, but we are able to run the ball well with the somehow revamped running game that we have. Guice and co. run for 3ish touchdowns, Etling throws 1 more, but our defense comes up with a turnover and a few stops.
AJ receives a lot of attention on the outside from Battle and Andraez, leaving DK, Lodge, VJ, and the rest to feast on the rest of the LSU secondary. Shea throws for 300 and 3 touchdowns, Wilkins adds one out of the backfield and 80 rushing yards.
The rebz, with confidence growing after a much needed win against Vanderbilt last week, win 34-31 on a game winning field goal.

^^^Sounds like a plan to me.

Devin White will be covering A.J?
I like our chances.

Tbh I thought I read that Devin White was a CB, not a rover. Fixed in my post.

The corndogs were hyping Guice for the Heisman this year. He's well on his way to an 800 to 900 yd season. Assuming he doesn't get hurt again.

Well Orgeron did compare D. White to Warren Sapp...
He compared Guice to Sapp last year
He will be hanging his hat on Sapp for eternity

Guice has been injured all season, and we've played 3 freshmen OL multiple times this season I will perma ban bet that Guice is an NFL starter within the next two years
