Still think it is bullshite they banned #3 when glassman was insulting the entire time. #3 refuted glassman's facts so he ran to the help board.

I do not understand why you would even bring that argument to the table. When the Big 10 is 5-4 vs the SEC at the Capital One bowl since 2000. You act as though LSU and the SEC has owned the Big 10 like we are a Division II conference.

Also, I do not see how you can consider Penn State a lesser opponent when we finished #3 in the Big 10 same as LSU in the SEC. We are dead even in the polls and the BCS. I am not sure if the is ignorance in not knowing the opponent or only based on how Ohio State has performed in big games recently.

With internet, message board, various web sources to view highlights and clips of game even you could get a rough understanding of the Penn State offense/defense. All it takes it time, an understanding of football, and not being lazy.

Paying a subscription to Rivals/Scout/ESPN also gives one access to player profiles, defensive schemes, and offensive play calling knowledge.

Just skimming through the title's of threads you see that the vast majority are about Penn State/Saban/ or Crowton. If some LSU fans would dive into learning about Penn State and the Big 10 instead of what happened 2 and 3 years ago in the BCS National Title game maybe they would understand who the Penn State playmakers are, how good our defense is, what kind of defense we play, and the level of competition we have played.

It really is not that hard, just takes time and knowledge.

According to the NCAA Penn State has actually played stronger defenses than what LSU has statistically at least.

The SEC defenses were actually down as a whole compared to previous seasons as only 4 teams (LSU included) finished in the Top 50 in Total Defense.

But eventually all perfect records fall, Les Miles can not remain perfect in bowl games forever. I mean he was 1-2 at Oklahoma State with 1 bowl loss coming to a Big 10 school.

As I posted in another thread Big 10 is 5-4 vs SEC in Capital One Game since 2000.

Pretty solid, I mean we only allowed QB's to complete 54% of their passes and held teams to 183 yards through the air.

Well I would like LSU fan's opinions I understand stats can be misleading when you take into account negative yardage for QB sacks.

I have not had the pleasure of watching LSU much this season. I was able to watch vs Washington, Florida, Alabama, Ole Miss, and Arkansas either on TV or ESPN 360.

Wondering what the LSU faithful think, if that stats are misleading.

Will LSU be able to Run the Ball?

Posted by PennState on 12/8/09 at 8:48 pm
I am looking at LSU stats at the moment and I am wondering do LSU fans believe they will be able to effectively run the ball.

Against Ole Miss they managed only 40 Yards on 27 attempts.

I understand that is misleading based on Jefferson 9 Carries -32 Yards though.

Even without those numbers or Williams (who is now out for season) you have
Ridley- 1 carry 12 Yards
Shepard- 6 carries 20 Yards

Against Arkansas the LSU running game improved after what looks like they used Trindon Holliday more.
Shepard and Ridley however combined for 18 Carries 57 Yards.

I do believe the Penn State defensive line can be into the LSU backfield and stop the runner at the point of attack. I understand from reading this site that the OL is a point of weakness for the LSU Tigers.

Do LSU fans believe your Offensive Coordinator Gary Crowton will utilize Holliday enough to put his "all-world" speed on display? His best game was Arkansas when he had 9 carries, other than that his numbers look really average. Also, what is the most effective play LSU runs with Holliday?

Will Shepard get utilized? I mean he was #1 Recruit by some publications but he has only touched the ball 50 times in the 722 plays LSU has run as an offense.

As I said earlier in a thread, I do not follow LSU closely, most of my observations are based on games on TV and what I have read on this site past 2 days. So any information I have that is incorrect I am sorry for.

Les Miles perfect bowl record has to end at some point, I hope it ends this season.

Although from an outside perspective I think of him a loyal man to the university that has made him a national name, the fan base does not see it that way. I have looked through various threads on first 5 pages of Tiger Rant and wow was all I could think.

I thought Penn State fans were bad when Joe Pa was struggling yet they could not hold a candle to some LSU fans apparently.

I blame Ohio State... 1 FREAKING 1 against either LSU or Florida the Big 10 does not earn the reputation as chokers.
Even Ohio State playing close would have not been as bad.

It's all good man, I was able to watch a lot of LSU games on ESPN 360 that were not aired prime time. I am familiar with the team but I may get some names wrong and I am sure I will spell a few wrong.

I do see LSU is on its 4th string running back with Scott, Williams, Murphy all gone for the season. Hopefully LSU can put pressure on Jefferson force him to take some sacks and into a couple bad decisions.

I am hoping for a close game and put the game in Les Miles hands. If it is close I am hoping Les pulls another Ole Miss. lol

Yet this is Capital One Bowl

Since 2000 Big 10 is 5-4 against SEC there

Good thing Royster is a running back so only way him and Peterson meet is if he is into your secondary

Well since 2000 they would be 2-1

Wins over Ohio State and Illinois and a loss to Iowa

You do realize the SEC and Big 10 have been even in head to head games over past 5-10 years?
