one looked great first half AU last week
Offense is legit though. D isn't bad, but not nearly the caliber of prior LSU D's.

Yes, because I try to be a realistic fan this is dead on

I would like for our offense to run the ball and control the clock, and use more play action. IF we could just use the 2 TE set, with Conley and Bennet, we could run so many plays out of that formation and still go hurry up. But alas, that wont happen. I think it will be close, but I could also see a blowout for either team.
Real answer they are legit. O-Line is solid as opposed to last year and Mett has the poise we thought he should have last year. Hill is a beast also really big at 220 and fast D I'm not so sure one looked great first half AU last week and then either took the foot off the gas or AU exposed some weakness. I don't think they relax this game if its the first case. If it's the second we can only hope they get it cleaned up. Yes TCU isn't as good as we thought but their D is still legit the game they lost to TT they had them shut down in the second half until the one long pass play and the ridiculous series of missed calls at the end (I watched the game). All boils down to O is legit D has concerns should be a close good game. I would wish your team good luck but I can't do it. So here's to an well played injury free game that the bulldogs ultimately loose.

LSU - 54 UGA - 24 LSU has the best offense in SEC history. They take their foot off the gas every game. They could run for 500 yards if they tried. Their WRs score a TD every time they touch the ball, unless they dont want to on purpose. Their Oline will never let up a sack until backups are in. Mett rapes everyone he touches
Got ourselves a posi-tiger, boys

there's no doubt LSU's offense has improved. It would not have to improve much to be lots better than last year. I saw some things against Auburn that bothered me though. They got pressure on Mett a few times and he went straight down. Our line is tough but was beaten on those occasions and of course Mett is not elusive at all. Our run game was great in the first half but not so much in the second. I think a stout defense could very well slow them down. UGA doesn't have a stout d so...

Our offense seems to be vastly improved from last year. The running game is as good as last year if not better due to the improved passing game setting up the play action. The defense has taken a step back due to youth on the team. The coaching is still great the players need more experience and time together to gel as a whole unit. Now with that being said we let TCU run a kickoff back. We haven't played Clemson or SC, I think Georgia is more tested so far. In all actuality I hope we will but I don't think anyone really knows where we stand until after the dust settles Saturday. I really feel this is a much better team than last year as a whole because off the offense but we will find out Saturday.
Here's to a good game

Definitely one of the weaker parts of his game I think. He could work on that a little. He has good size so maybe if he's not more elusive, he could become a little tougher to take down.

Your pothead punt returner, throw the ball to the ref before crossing the plane for a td.
First down from the one. Kenny Hilliard 1 yd touchdown. There, I just whatif sports ya. Also, Bacarri Rambo probably gets run over again on that hypothetical play.

A robust 101 yards of offense in that half and a bunch of failed fourth down conversions. What am I looking for again?

quote:while I hate the argument... to be fair, LSU did cause Oregon's turnovers, while LSU's fumble inside the 10 yard line against TCU was a fumbled hand off between the QB and RB - not caused by the defense... in fact, Blue had a huge hole on that play.
Ya know, when Oregon fans say that about the LSU game in 2011 LSU fans say "we caused those fumbles and we blew them out"
the kickoff return argument is stupid. we gave up a kickoff return, and it was earned.

It can't be overrated, the offense struggled against shitty teams last season.
We have improved big time on offense. Is it the best in the country or conference? No.
Is it markedly better than last year? Absolutely.
Does this make LSU scary as frick to play? Of course.

(Also, the dropped punt snap counted as like -20 yards, fwiw).
Not taking anything away from LSU nor its win, just pointing out that there are questions concerning LSU's D.

Of course not. I'm just pointing out that your post was essentially, if things were different things would have been different. No doubt about that. I'm sure of Marshall hits a receiver we don't blitz as much on the perimeter to stop the read run. Also, if you guys put up like 200 yards passing, LSU probably would have more aggressively defended the pass. The real issue is LSU did not try to defend what it regarded Auburn would have difficulty doing in the rain. It worked to the tune of 100 yards in the first half. That's what anyone would see if they watched it as I did.

quote:I don't know why people are arguing this. LSU's defense didn't dominate the line of scrimmage like we are used to seeing. Auburn shot themselves in the foot and LSU stepped up and made some plays when it needed to, but it was hardly a dominating performance, even in the first half.

quote:No it wasn't. It was a response regarding the LSu/UGA game and noting that LSU's D had trouble even slowing down AU's running backs. ETA: Sorry, the post about the LSU/UGA game was in the other thread, but that is where my comment came from.
Of course not. I'm just pointing out that your post was essentially, if things were different things would have been different.
quote:This is why I referenced re-watching the first half. There was no difference from the very first series to the end of the game in LSU's ability to stop the run. The circumstances really weren't the issue, IMO. Ignore that if you want, but it was just an observation about LSU's run defense against AU and how that might play out against UGA.

quote:They would also see AU running the ball very effectively and wondering if Gurley and UGA will have similar success. Which was my point (eta: noticed I was more clear about that point in the other thread).

That's abjectly false.

That's abjectly false.
It isn't false, you just don't remember it because of the way the game played out. I rewatched the first half yesterday.
