I predicted LSU to win this game by 2 TDs. Nothing but downvotes and upset LSU fans


Wouldn't shock me, especially if Green's mobility is limited.

Obviously anyone can win but on paper, LSU is a bad matchup for Arkansas.

So the second best offense in school history could only score 34 against a 4-8 team that gave up 48 to both AU and Mizzou?


Slow start. LSU scored on it's last 8 possessions while getting nothing the first 3. Also kicked a FG late instead of punching it in so Arky wouldn't have any time left. Smart coaching. Our defense kept our offense off the field allowing Arky to maintain major control of TOP. Arky had a 9 minute advantage in TOP.

Extrapolated to the rest of the country, vs Division I competition only:


SEC only stats give a bit more clarity IMO which is why I posted those.

Too small of a sample size for LSU at this point, they've only played two SEC games.

I tried explaining to them that their week 1 game had their averages and metrics all outta wack but they just couldn't see it.


The extended stats rankings I posted (long post) were against SEC competition only.

Arkansas plays us tough every year.

I hate this game.

They demand our respect and its warranted.

It’s a clearer understanding than using offensive stats from South Alabama, UCLA, and USC. Which are ranked 103rd, 68th, and 63rd in the nation in total defense.

Meanwhile in SEC play, the competition has been a bit more even for LSU to gauge how they might be.

What’s even more crazy, is that LSU has played the 130th, 92nd, 40th, and 31st ranked offenses in the nation and the numbers are still pretty rough on defense.

This game is always a slugfest. You can throw rankings and metrics out on this one. We'll see who shows up. To me it's a tossup.

Never really seen your posts or noticed you. If you lose for some reason I assume you’ll go back to your other account. As the number 8 team, don’t lose to unranked Arkansas who is so shitty ….

I don't have another account. I'm usually a lurker with the occasional post.

you'll see me mostly during baseball season when LSU is pounding all of your wives like a mallard duck

I think LSU wins. But it will be tight. Lots of parity this year. Texas is the only team that hasn’t been severely tested yet.

Bobby Petrino is better than anyone on your entire staff by a long shot.

Your defense fits right in with those teams:

Vs Division I:

USC: #41
UCLA: #50
Arkansas: #51
South Alabama: #109

Vs Division I, LSU has faced:

#29
#49
#79
#128

Arkansas has faced:

#28
