Neither LSU nor Florida will be the pushovers some of our "fans" think they will be. I'm NOT saying we can't/won't beat them. I'm just saying they are both better than many give them credit for.

You can't base anything on one game. How good is Miami? FSU was preseason number what 4 last season.
FSU was playing Alabama toe to toe week 1 until they lost their qb in that game. That injury ruined their seasonQuote:

I don't like our chances of winning the west even though I think we're good to really goodQuote:

Texas A&M is a sneaky tough game no one is talking about. We should be able to handle the other 6 games though Ole Miss on a short week on the road is scary. Just watch an NFL Thursday night game and you can see how ugly those games can be.
I am not disagreeing but don't tell me Miami is the number 8 team in the country.Quote:

I'm glad 7&Liverpool are buddy buddies now. It's a perfect fit. Ketchup & Mustard.
At QB. The one position that one injury can cause cataclysmic problems at.Quote:

Miami's O-line is bad.
Some of you scare way to easily or are reading too much into our performance in a yawner game in a new coaching situation without our star QB.
LSU may be slightly better than expected. Florida isn't. They atill have a loooooong way to go. We still stomp the chomp 9/29.
Not trying to. They are good enough to disprove the "LSU sucks" theory though. FYI, the new LSU QB has never lived in Mississippi, but he has Mississippi roots. His Dad is from Amory. Dad played on the great early 70s Nebraska teams, started as a DB on at least one of the National Champions they had in 70 and 71. Dad currently coaches with Solich at Ohio. His uncle played at Ole Miss. Micheal Haddix carried the uncle on his back into the end zone for the winning TD in the 1980 Egg Bowl, my first one. It's still one of my absolute favorite Egg Bowl Memories.Quote:

Hell we even had a back up QB that could win games and we trust and look where we are with QB's now. What happens if FSU loses this guy again. Why is LSU continually having to go get transfers?Quote:

Good win for LSU but aint nobody scared of LSU
I tried to tell some people on here a couple of weeks ago that assuming a win against LSU on the road is a sure way to be disappointed. I saw JWS teams go down there on multiple occasions against a much worse coaches than O and get the heck beat out of us. We may win, but it is going to be a dog fight.Quote:

LSU is a 8 win team so is Florida. Neither team is Kentucky but neither team is Bama or Auburn either. We will have to play well to win but if we play to our capabilities those are 2 games we should win.

Even if we dont make the playoffs, making a NY6 bowl and winning in a year where our conference is up will be one hell of a boost in recruiting and confirmation that Joe is the right man for the job.
