State fans - Honestly, what are the chances you win this weekend?

I see a lot of State fans posting these last few days confident that they will beat LSU this weekend. But, I don't know...a lot of it seems hollow and forced. Almost like if you say it enough you will eventually start believing it.
You obviously have a good team with a great defense. Your QB is limited, but it seems like he's gotten back on track the last couple of weeks, as far as running the ball effectively.
And, as Mullen has demonstrated 2 years in a row, it is possible to grind out yards on the ground against LSU if you're creative and commit to it.
So, back to my question. If you're being completely honest with yourself, what chance do you give your boys to go into Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night and come out with a win? ESPN FPI says you have a 40% chance. Does that sound about right?

45%. Basically even with a 10% bump to LSU at home.

l7u is playing Bama this weekend according to their fans.

I would imagine our chances are just a little bit better than LSUs chances against Bama

40-45, unless JoMo gets all RPOie and thinks Fitzgerald has learned to pass these past two weeks, then it’s 35

Then I take it you guys like JoMo again? How's the offensive line been doing? The last game I really paid attention to was your loss against Florida and they made your O line look silly. Of course, at times, Florida made ours look bad as well, so maybe Florida's d line is just THAT good.
Has Fitz been at least competent throwing? Are the receivers catching the ball better, or are drops still a big issue? Is Kylin Hill feeling better now, or does he still feel he's being misused?

That's pretty low, since Bama can't be beat

Uhhh.. yeah, gimme a sec… I’m coming up with thirty-two point three three uh, repeating of course, percentage, of survival.

and LSU can not lose. The differences are negligible.
Congrats on the victory. Maybe next year

LSU plays State this weekend.
You guys play Tennessee.
Then we both have byes and play Nov 3.
You really didn't know this? I thought every Alabama fan had the third Saturday in October circled years in advance.

Hey, Indian, what are you, a truthful whitefoot, or a lying blackfoot?
