Looks like Fournette will not play --- so LSU might just lose this one

With all the drama from the Miles firing plus the loss of their main offensive weapon, I think Missouri wins.

I've read a lot of predictors say that had Miles stayed, some might be more inclined to have picked Missouri with how the LSU season was going.

I'm not sure the loss of Fournette is necessarily the bigger issue, as Missouri held Chubb to 63 yards on 20 carries. Missouri's bigger defensive issue seemed to be their pass defense, and if Orgeron's style change gets that passing game going, that could be the decider (he did go, what, 6-2 over the rest of USC's season as an interim).

Mizzou's bigger strength is their passing attack, but last week showed their young QB has a bad habit of forcing his throws and their offense doesn't take up a lot of time / isn't on the field very long, scoring or not (not to mention a meh running game). Point being, if they're not scoring, their defense will likely be on the field a lot...not a good thing for later in the game.

I think the loss of Fournette is less a concern than how well Missouri's QB can handle LSU's defense and what - if any - changes Orgeron's coaching might make for that offense, especially passing the ball (he did go what, 6-2 at USC after Kiffin left).


Of course, if Mizzou goes pick-happy again, it's probably easily LSU's game.

Might be a slight determinant in the races with the way our game went today.

Unless we beat both A&M and Alabama, we have to beat Missouri in our matchup if they beat either UF or LSU.

But it's 7-0 LSU at the end of the 1st quarter.

21-0

Mizzou sucks.

Amazing what new blood can do.

Guice.

Yeah, Mizzou wasn't lucky enough to get them a game earlier in the schedule.

 

[TrueOrange]

News of Missouri being any better has been greatly exaggerated.

28-0 LSU end of the 3rd.

That loud thud in Baton Rouge was the Missouri Tigers crashing back to earth

Coach yaw yaw gets the win.

Gators gonna get ripped by Tiger claws.

Mizzou gave up over 400 yds rushing. Florida's defense better be ready.

 

[LSU-SIU]

Florida is much better. LSU really didn't do much different, just more efficient....fun to watch for a change. Guice.

LSU might come back to earth next week but 630+ yards was a good start.

 

[Aesius]

Well Missouri is certainly no threat to win the East now.

Please take care of business vs Florida, LSU, and knock them out of contention as well.
