Here is a link to my 2025 thread where many LSU fans overestimated their team's strength, particularly as to their defense, based on a win over a bad Clemson team: LINK

Apparently, you Bayou frickers just couldn't help yourself, and you did the exact same fricking thing this year.

PurpleSingularity
"The LSU defense is MUCH MUCH better this year; the front 7 is the nastiest, fastest, and smartest I’ve seen at LSU since 2011. They will make life absolutely tough for ole Miss"

TDcline
"Honest assessment, our defense just might be better than 2019. Our offense could be near 2019 level if the players can stay humble and mature. Tech exposed a lot of looking ahead Burrow wouldn’t have allowed that."

walnut
"We pull away in the 4th quarter and win by two possessions

I’ve seen what both these teams have. It’s going to take some sloppy play for Ole Miss to win it"

FMtTXtiger
"limit turnovers, limit Chamblis scramble, we win easy."

Hurricane2020
"I think its more likely that we win by 4 scores than 1. IDK the score though."

LSURulzSEC
"LSU 48-24..."



WeeWee
"This is the most stacked LSU defense that we’ve fielded since 2012. Clemson sucked and LaTech is s Sun Belt school so it’s easy to overlook it. However after Saturday night the nation will be on notice. LSU’s defense is going to give Ole Miss fits."

lsuson
"I also don't think Ole Miss will have more than 350 yards total offense."

VT4
"No way the ole ms offense scores 24."
"If LSU doesn’t turnover the ball, and we don’t have a special teams lapse, you won’t break 20."
"If we establish the run game, you’ve got no shot to win"

Jabontik
"Our defense will come ready to play for sure. Chambliss will probably make some huge plays either throwing or running, but hard to see OM putting up more than 21 or so"

MackeyMKay
"And I don't see any offense putting up more than 17 to 20 on this defense"
"It's very, very early to say, but this defense may be better than 2011 just without Honey Badger making a D/ST touchdown every other game."
"I don't see any offense putting up more than 20 on this defense."
"LSU would be an 11.5 point favorite vs Ole Miss if at home as it's an LSU -3.5 spread now"

DatGuy6967
"Game wont even be close.

Through two games, LSU has allowed just 2.5 yards per play, best in the country according to the current preview data

Ole Miss went 9–0 at home last year… right up until Miami reminded them what happens when the opponent is actually good


A second rate SEC team that cant even push Louisiville around. Come on man.

I am seeing 42-17."

GrizzlyWintergreen
"Theres no losing. Their defense is nearly dead last in every important stat and they give up more 20 plus yard plays than anyone in the country.

They are fricked.

One of their opponents was fricking charlotte"

Lainter1919
"If Ole Miss hangs around it will be because they are molesting the LSU receivers all game (Secondary is terrible.) Will they be flagged?

LSU fans, get ready to be fully triggered. I'm getting myself prepared.

The only scenario I see where Ole Miss wins this."

Milk
"Leavitt doesn’t need to be great to beat you. Just serviceable.

LSU will move the ball against you. If you stack the box to try and prevent the run, you will be leaving people in man coverage.
If you drop everyone into coverage LSU will run it down your throat."

LSUTIGAHS123
"Realistic prediction: Tigers win by 3 TD"

goodgrin
"LSU fans seated next to the Ole Piss student section take over because the seats start to empty out by the early 4th quarter. Fans need to stretch their legs."

TigerMonkey7
" I don’t really how people are looking at that statistic and are predicting that ole Miss scores 30+"

sportsfan
" I don't see Ole Miss (or anybody for that matter) scoring more than 21-24 points against this defense.

If the Rebels have any chance to win, they are going to need a defensive or special teams TD or two."

LSUminati
"It's hard for me to see Ole MIss scoring more than 23-24 in this game."

John Rambeaux
"If you think we're leaving Oxford without a dominating win, you're high."

Big Gorilla
"I think lsu rolls. 30-13."

Damariun
"I’ve said I think this will be a convincing win for LSU. "
"Give me


LSU-34
Ole Miss-17"

touchdownjeebus
"I think we are going to break their program"

GeauxtigersMs36
"Think more like 55-17"

LSU Patrick
"I think it will be a convincing win, probably 31 - 14."

GorgeousGeorge
"48-3 would be great, but I’ll go 38-18 LSU."

turnpiketiger
"Truthfully tyink it's at least a 14 pt win"

UnluckyTiger
"Defense travels. And we might have the best one in the country. If Leavitt protects the ball, we roll. If he turns it over a few times it could come down to the wire."

Sailin Tiger
"I also think we win big. I don't think they score more than 20 on our d and think our offense puts up 30+ add in a turnover that gifts them a field goal and could see a 34-23 win for the tigers."

CharlestonTiger
"41-27 - I think we put 40+ up, but Ole Miss will move the ball against our Defense. I don't think they will score more than 24-27 points however."

Hot Carl
"They can’t beat us straight up. Our defense is too good."

pitchandcatch27
"OM defense is terrible and the offense is not much better. Clearly LSU should win going away."
"LSU 34
OM 20"

SOL2
"
34 - 20 means Sam threw 2 or 3 ints and they scored points off them. If we play good, I say 48-17"

tiger81
"LSU by 17....we have a very good D. We will exploit their weak secondary. 38-20."

Tigerstark
"The occasion is much bigger for them. We just need to show up especially early.
Fans will be riled up
Ole Miss will come out fired up
Weather it and they’ll start pressing and the fans will start grumbling.

Tigers by 17"

wrongRob
"This Defense is as good as any I've seen 2 games in. They don't over pursue the qb and are gap disciplined.

Reminds me of Monte Kiffin's Defense at Tampa Bay. Kiffin was a master at shutting down scramblers."

tigerpimpbot
"If LSU can get to 21 old piss will have a hard time winning"

UnluckyTiger
"If we don’t turn the ball over, we are going to have their stadium mostly empty by the 4th quarter. And it’ll be a LSU home game by then

Just play smart Leavitt"

Tic44
"I am confident in Lane and coaches to prepare this team to handle EVERYTHING OM has to give.

We are better at every position except for QB and RB and WR1.

We are the better team with better coaches. I am more confident this week than i was in week 1

We roll by 20 pts."

LSUAlum2001
"LSU 41-13"

cajuntiger1010
"Clemson was a quality win for LSU"
"31-23 Tigers"

This one doesn't seem crazy.

I know it's popular to hate on Blake Baker but he's went on the road vs Chambliss/Lacy twice and given up 24 and 32 points, respectively.

Kirby has faced them once at home and once at a neutral site, and gave up 35 and 39 points respectively.

Venables faced them once at home and gave up 34 points.

As a lifelong Tampa Bay fan...my fav is obviously. Though if any team runs "cover 2" some it is said.

That one doesn't seem that crazy because the 2019 LSU defense wasn't as good as some of y'all make it out to be.

But granted since 2019 LSU is one of the better teams of all time it is naturally compared against other historically great teams and at least IMO is one of the weaker ones defensively among those teams. It was still a 'good' defense on the scale of what you see year in and year out in the SEC.

Yep, I would say good, not great or elite obviously. They finished the year at #11 in the FEI defensive rankings. Interestingly enough, 2026 LSU is currently also sitting at #11.

It's crazy because the defense hadn't really been tested.

Blake Baker is a heck of a coach. He's going to be at the top of several coaching search lists, as will Charlie Weis. I could totally see Weis at South Carolina by Christmas.

Anyone talking about Golding not being a good coach shouldn’t be allowed an opinion on college football.

4-1 vs top 25 in your first 6 games doesn’t happen if you’re not good at your job.

We tried to tell them to hold their horses on the defense when we saw them touting their D as elite after dominating a Clemson team that put up a whopping 22 points on mighty Georgia Southern the next week. We tried to tell them.


And the amount of disrespect for Chambliss after what he did in the playoffs last year while acting like Leavitt is a good QB was straight up delusional.

We tried to tell them.
