Upcoming football season

You're looking at composite versus 247 ratings

Nah. We're back at #5 in composite since Chris Stamps got his 88 rating.

The 98 game was one of the worst called game in MSU history....we were beat before it started.

We may have had an uphill battle given the SEC wanted TN in the BCS title game but its hard to win a game when your offense doesn't score a single point.

[Goat Holder]

This just ADDS to the equation that would result in us having a banner year next year. We always play better as the underdog.

Good god this thread made me antsy.

[thunderclap]

National perception from most on Rivals is that we may not qualify for a bowl.

We get to line up and play in 8 months and we're gonna bust some damn heads.

Watch for a future bear attack come next December.

It won't matter, he and his family are all dawg. He's in good hands at Warren Central.

8 months!? That sounds like an eternity!

Where is this rivals article?

Not an article, it's posts you find on the MB. Just about every time there is a poll regarding SEC predictions, conference rankings, conference bottom-feeders, etc, fans from damn near every school pick us at the bottom or next to last every year, and tend to pick Ole Miss as a "dark horse" contender for SEC Champs. Despite the fact we have beaten them 4 of the last 5, and have played them pretty much evenly for 40 years, the perception among other fans is that they are considerably better, even these past few years.

If we stay injury free,i think we got a shot at winning 10 games. Our offense in gonna be a fun offense to watch they gonna score some points. Our defense i think is gonna be nasty good. Alabama and lsu the two losses,and i just dont know about aub but i am counting them as a win if we play like we can play should have beat them last year,am i way off on this?

We have a team that is good enough to beat Auburn and Texas A&M at home with a full crowd behind us. We have to make it happen

With all LSU has lost over the past 2 years, why should we consider this coming year a likely loss? Yes, I get they have owned us for a long time now, but how many times have we had the talent and experience and the QB coming back, combined with them losing a lot of their critical pieces? Never? It's not as if we haven't come up inches short in recent history with not near the apparent advantages we seem to have this year.

Last 5 years, the only teams to beat LSU in BR have been Bama in 2012 and Florida in 2009

Monumental task

I agree i think this is gonna be the best team we have put on the field since mullen got here. How long has it been that we have started a season with 2 good qbs that is really good? Dak is gonna be great,and williams he can play and only gonna get better. I was at the egg bowl and recorded the game got and watched it,Williams did not play bad at all i know they was at least 4 dropped balls that would have been first downs. Looking good for us this year. go dawgs!

Was it 2008 or 2009 that UGA hung fifty points on LSU in BR?


ETA: 2008. The only bad loss LSU had in 2009 was OM, and that was all on Leslie.

[dawgs]

247 composite has us 5th with 1 4* and 7 3*. but 247 by themselves has us 3rd with 5 4* and 3 3*. 247 is far more on the ball with their ratings, so i'd expect those composites to improve a bit as espn/rivals/scout get around to actually evaluating the 2015 recruits after the 2013 season.

2008- the year after their title and they had "Co-DC's"....that shit lasted 1 season

I like to ignore stats like that. I know LSU has been beatable at home - some, not a lot. They've been beatable when we played them. We just gotta play well and not let a few bonehead plays happen like an unforced fumble by Milton.

[Coach34]

We've got to play better D in BR- that will be the key

[Pollodawg]

Bump. Their QB don't scare me at all as I said earlier. Both are dual threat, and Miles sucks at dual threat QBs. Sell out to stop the run, and LUS won't break 120 yards passing on our D. We have to stop the run down there this season.

Because you have the national media types stretching and twisting the truth and stats about OM, such as Acshwhipe and Brando. They talk out of their asses almost daily about OM being better than logic and thought would suggest. They talk about OM beating LSU. They fail to mention getting shut down offensively the last two regular season games or losing to a True freshman for 50 minutes in the Egg Bowl. For comparison, This same type of one sided media was very prevelant in our last presidential election.

The 98 game was one of the worst called game in MSU history....we were beat before it started.

UT got a gift on the second Peerless Price TD that was caught out of bounds, that's for sure. But we lost for 2 reasons: 1) No JJ and 2) Kendall Roberson injury in the 4th Quarter.

Without JJ that night, we couldn't move the ball worth a damn on offense. We couldn't eat clock and shorten the game, which was the essential part of our offensive plan all year. Chris Rainey was never that good and Dicenzo & Pig were true freshman. Our whole offense revolved around JJ that season. Everything we did was based on the threat of the run. Take out JJ, our offense was awful.

Then Roberson goes out for a few plays in the 4th. UT knew he was out and immediately isolated Price on Adesola Badon, Roberson's backup. Badon gets torched for 2 TDs before we can get Roberson back onto the field (even if the second WAS OOB). Game. Set. Match.
