Excellent post, tigerfan. Yes, MF was not 100% mobility-wise against Tulane, but what surprised me was the pressure that the Green Wave defense put on LSU the first half. I kept wondering what was wrong with the OL; I had not seen them that porous in years.

And your point about having to play two consecutive physical games against Florida and Kentucky is on target. In fact, I do believe that was the most physical I have ever seen Kentucky play. LSU fans really should be grateful for this off week. Having to play Auburn and Bama with no break would have been brutal as well.

As far as folding, LSU has come a long way in that respect. It's something that Saban was able to exorcise under his tenure, and Miles continues to maintain that never-give-up mentality. Previous to Saban's tenure, I witnessed several LSU games where both players and fans gave up, but not anymore.

Here's to a great game and once that first kickoff occurs, I hope most of the attention focuses on the players laying it all out on the field.

Have a safe trip if you are going to the game.
