Question - If LSU beats Texas 20-13, are you as excited as you are now?

Would still be a huge win against a good team on the road, but more in line with LSU wins of the past - grind it out, stuff them on defense, hold on late.
18

I would have been happy with a 1 point victory.

Still excited like every other big win LSU had in the Miles era where LSU leans on defense to win, but calls offense a fraud and wonders if the passing game will ever get there against legit opponents

Would have taken the win in any way.
I think us showing we can keep up in a shootout on offense is promising.
I just can't imagine we will play that poorly on D all year.
That is where my excitement comes in.

Probably not.
Because the whole world wouldn't be in shock that LSU has a passing attack that produced numbers never before seen in Austin.

It was nice to win one of these with an elite offense.

Doubt it.
There’s a ton of excitement because of the offense, and rightfully so.
In a one game sample size it’s fair for LSU fans to acknowledge the defensive effort wasn’t great, but feel pretty confident that the defense can be better and perform closer to what they’re accustomed to at LSU.

Thats a little much

That makes sense, and is kind of what I figured.

Not nearly.
I expected the offense to put up a lot of points but I did not expect to give up 400+ yds and 38 pts

Yep - agree

Still excited, but you have to remember, 3 yards and a cloud of dust vs what we've seen these 2 games this year is EXCITING.
We passed the ball on 3rd and 17 trying to move the chains. With a 7 point lead. With 2 minutes and change left in the game.

LSU fans got what they wanted. A pass happy offense. The problem is Texas probably should have won that game since they whiffed on two separate 4th and goal attempts. That's 14 points off the board.
Defense looked lost out there.

I would have been happy with any result of winning. However, when you do something like we saw with our QB and receivers that's basically, well, never happened before here. It does make it a little more special.

Nope.
Before getting gassed, the defense held Texas to 7 points.
The issue was the LSU offense scoring too fast! JoeJoe will fine tune the pace to keep the defense fresh.
(Plus there isn't an offensive coach in the SEC like Herman.)

That's pretty much exactly where I'm at.
We'll have plenty more tests this year to see whether this team is truly special or not.

Texas whiffed on the dropped pass - self inflicted wound.
LSU stuffed the 2nd one.

I think people are overreacting to the defense. Texas is a good offensive team that we more than kept in check for a half. The second half was about dehydration and exhaustion. We didn’t IV at halftime and now we find out there was no AC in the locker room. Hard to overcome that.

I really hope the Tigers QB goes pro after this season so that the Longhorns don't have to play against that gunslinger next season in BR.
If he keeps up what he did on this past Saturday, he will probably be the #1 pick in the draft.

Figure it’s pretty similar to us and Alabama’s OL.
Are we thrilled with it? No.
Would we be SHOCKED(after watching it for 2 contests) if it turns that there are actually some issues with it that will cause some problems later in the year? No, not really.
But I have faith that they’ll figure it out. At least enough that it won’t straight up be detrimental.
