They are the second best team we've played all year. We lost to the best team we played. LSU has an incredible defense. They can probably run the ball on us. They have awesome receivers and a QB that can throw the ball from endzone to endzone. They are definitely capable of beating us. They are way deeper at every single position than South Carolina.
There's no point in even making a score prediction for this game, with the erratic way LSU has been playing lately. It could very easily come out 40-3 in either team's favor.
I'll be surprised if we run very successfully on you. It's apparent that our strength lies in the air, as our running game has seemingly fallen face down in the mud this year.
I get the impression that none of the tiger faithful can really get a feel for this year's team. It's just odd because all of the good teams that beat other good teams occasionally have close calls against mediocre to bad teams, like you guys with Air Force. I thought sure that LSU would have a close game against Fresno or Arizona. But this has clearly not been the case, which brings to mind the next question:
Is LSU just completely screwing itself on the big games? Or are they truly incapable of winning?
The Florida game answered that for me. To anyone who watched that game, the answer was apparent. LSU should have won, and didn't win because of some REALLY bad luck. I don't use the term "bad luck" lightly, or in a biased manner. Balls were bouncing out of players' hands, into the air, and into the waiting hands of the Florida defender. That happens usually only once per game, if that. It happened to us on two consecutive drives. Blocked Punt, although that is partially attributable to our ridiculous new punt formation that gives me a heart attack when executed.
Only about two of the five interceptions were freak occurrences. I grant that Florida played well, and deserved to win. But I absolutely believe that, if you took away all the turnovers on both sides of the ball, that LSU would've won fairly handily.
I swear God was angry at us that day. Thankfully his anger ended there, and didn't carry over to the Saints-Bucs game.
So here's my gut feeling for the score:
UT 27, LSU 20. I think the Florida loss comes back to haunt us for this game. One thing is for certain tho:
LSU will score first.
May the university with the hottest chicks win.
