    They are averaging over 588 yards per game, #5 in the nation. 13th in scoring at 46.5 ppg. 6th in rushing offense with 321 ypg.

    LSU #11 in total defense, giving up only 215 ypg. 8th in rush defense, yielding 45.5 ypg.

    Something's gotta break.

    Good luck Ballard and Relf. It won't be fun Thursday night.

    lay the points and bet the ranch .... LSU will E-A-S-I-L-Y cover this week.

    MSU is banged up and will fold once LSU hits them in the mouth .....

    I agree 100 %.

    I'll be surprised to see MSU get to 20 points and 300 yards of offense.

    I think this game is going to be much closer than what you gentleman believe. I am conifident we will win, but I believe MSU will pull out everything they got for this game.

    I just think it's nearly impossible to come back from such a physical pounding and emotional loss from a Saturday game to a game just 5 days later against superior competition.

    Moo U will make this a game, may even have the lead after the 1st quarter. It will be close at the half, but LSU's depth and speed will be too much and LSU pulls away in the 2nd half.

    I think State gives us a scare, and makes the game interesting.

    Yeah, Bulldog message boards don't show alot of fan support for a win Thursday. They are reeling and generally pissed at how that Auburn game went down.

    I think we better bring our "A" game. This team has its back to the wall in my opinion and has talent enough to upset. That said I think Miles will bring to much "pound the ball" offense and our defense seems to being doing just fine. We "should" win.

    Looking forward to playing some SEC football!

    I believe this will be a close game, but LSU will cover the points spread and take a W out of this one. I don't think a couple of tough games, and five days of prep will help Moo U pull this one out.

    I think we'll have a significant margin of victory. I see us scoring 28 points and holding them to 3 or 10 points.
