Talk me out of State's 5.5 Over

[MarketingBully]

Is Grantham running a 3-4 or 4-3? Just curious.

I go back and forth on the O hire. Seems dumb on the surface but can't ignore his record since the OM days. He'll do dumb stuff but I think he'll surprise some ppl too.

Grantham is a 3-4 guy but it wouldn't surprise me if we saw multiple looks but the majority will be 3-4.

I got down on it a couple of weeks ago. Anything can happen but I think we can get to 6 wins.

The last 2 years have also seen LSU hold 18 and 20 point leads in the 2nd half as they just tried to coast to a win.

2016 yes. 2015 no. That was not a coast to a win. Game was in doubt whole 4th quarter and miles new it. He said as much in interview after game. And 2014 was the ultimate attempt by us to coast to a win.

Will Lsu win this year? Probably. Is it a stone cold lock as you say? No.

LSU led 21-3 in the 2nd half in 2015. Thats a fact. Did we come back? Yes. But only because Miles took the air out of the ball and tried to run the clock out. He did the same thing in 2016

I surprisingly actually agree with Random on this one. I think Ed O will do just fine at LSU. I don't know if he will consistently win the West or NCs but I certainly don't see them taking a step back from Les. They just have too much talent on the roster. Not saying I don't think we can beat them but they have owned us. I do think 6 wins is in the bag though.

I agree on ed o. Lsu will stay the same, roughly.

Absolutely false. Not a fact. Lsu never led 21-3. It was 14-3 at half, 14-6, 21-6, and then 21-13 with fifteen minutes to play.

And Lsu threw it 8 times in fist half and 6 times in second half. Play calling didn't markedly change in second half.

I don't see how we don't win 6. Is everyone else hitting it hard?

Then don't bet it *****.

Oh my bad. They were only up 15 in the 2nd half

Three points is a Huge difference. You're a respected coach. You know this.
We almost pulled a rabbit out the hat in 2016. Not the case in 2015. We dropped a game tying two point conversion and botched a shot at a game winning field goal. Game was in doubt whole fourth quarter.

UGA is definitely not a sure loss. LSU and Auburn, it just depends on how good they end up being. But UGA? No.
