🏈 Miles expects to see improved LSU defense this week

[TerryP]

OK, we've got three of them now

LSU and Auburn in 2005.

I see MSU went to BYU in 2000, then lost to USC the next game.

Here's one for ya.

Four of the last five times a team from the SEC traveled to the west coast, then came home to face another team from the SEC, they lost.

So, LSU is on the west coast last weekend...traveled Monday...facing an SEC team Saturday...

Yeah, I saw that. I also saw where Vandy has not beaten them in BR since 1951. LSU wins, but doesn't cover.

Was it Georgia vs. Arizona State then coming home to lose to South Carolina year before last?

That's number four right there. EXCEPT, it was last year, and Georgia lost to Bama.

so Terry, are you saying LSU loses this week?

 

[LBS]

They should be 7-1 (UF) and no worse than 6-2 (UGA & UF) coming to Tuscaloosa. A good butt whipping in T'town could really cause the wheels to come off meaning losses to Ole Miss and the Hogs also. Couldn't happen to a better bunch! :smile:

If the hand is writing on the wall, I'm reading a question that asks "Who will be LSU's next Head Coach?"

Irony upon irony is that should Miles be fired, the LSU fans will have Saban-bashed themselves out of any chance that they would have of luring him back...which surely would be a thought at some point. (That contract extension now looks like a good strategic move.)

But I digress, who would LSU go after?

 

[bear facts]

But last Saturday’s debut was hardly greeted with rave reviews by LSU fans. In a lot of ways, it’s what they grew accustomed to last season when the Tigers allowed more than 30 points in their last three regular-season games. They were also torched for 50-plus in losses to Florida and Georgia.

Let's not forget LSU's 2007 season either. That two-loss national championship team gave up 43 points to Kentucky, 34 points to Alabama, and 50 points to Arkansas. Not to mention 24 points to Florida, Auburn, and Ole Miss, each.

They deserved playing for the national championship about as much as Ohio State deserved playing for it. :lance:

so Terry, are you saying LSU loses this week?

No. I don't see that happening.

I'll say this though. The only way it might happen is if Larry Smith has an All-American performance. He had a decent weekend against W. Carolina (and that has to be taken into account) but for him to have that all-star type performance he's going to have to put up 2x the amount of yards he threw for last weekend (just over 150.)

Washington did have some success against the LSU back seven last weekend.
