While I agree that LSU fans have no reason to be over confident, AU's wins over NLU and MSU are not exactly measuring sticks of the rich and famous. I'll wager this though: Oregon State would beat Mississippi State and Arkansa State would beat Northeast La.

I agree that we have not faced an opponent of any measurable quality yet. I just found it humorous that doom and gloom pervaded many posts on this board following the OSU game and now there is a surge of confidence...after beating Ark St.

I stand by my assertion that the AU/LSU game will be a close, hard-fought game. May the best Tigers win.

With Randall in the game, that would be a great play. Delayed QB draw. Just like he did in the OT against OSU.

as much as I have to agree with an auburn fan, wesfau, I have to say this board is now littered with over confident posters who need a serious reality check. funny how these same posters like to defend the SEC agaisnt other conferences by saying every SEC game is tough no matter who you play. now, these same guys want you to believe that LSU will dominate its SEC brethren. there's a reason LSU has only been installed a 2 pt favorite. it's probably gonna be a close game.

and like the AU fan said, a blowout of Ark St. don't mean crap! we still have a green QB who has yet to play an SEC road game. this team has a long way to go before we start chalkin' up SEC road victories. wake up people!

I agree with this post.

If you're relying on your performance against a SunBelt team to give you a yardstick for your passing game, then you should get ready for disappointment. The Auburn defense is a smidge better than Ark. St.

No doubt, LSU is a very talented and well-coached team, but a mediocre performance against a team that got blown out by Boise St. and a smacking of a SunBelt cellar dweller shouldn't be the basis for unreasonable expectations.

I expect the AU/LSU game to be a tight, hard fought game. I doubt it will be a blow out either way.

Actually I am not near as concerned about LSU offfense and the ability to score quick esp. against a defense that ia a smidge better than the Sunbelt Con teams. My concern is our ability to stop the run. Not plugging holes at this point yet BUT I also don't think Saban has showed all his cards. One way or another there will be a shalaking. I just hope we are the ones delivering the goods. I don't see it close.

If Randall starts, then yes I would do exactly what Tubby stated he is gonna do.

Randall can't complete a pass to save his life. This should speed up the exit of Randall in the game and bring in Russell. Then you will see a REAL offense on the field.

Let's hope the LSU players, namely the 2 QBs aren't as divisive as you are making this out to be. We have a team and will need both of these guys so I dont see your incessant attempt at slamming MR when obviously the coaches see something in the kid. I have no problem with someone saying one guy is better than the other but give it a rest on slamming this kid.

Thank you for being reasonable and not cocky like some of the LSU posters here. How soon we forget. :dis: Have some of you forgotten how we struggled with OSU. This team has way too many ? marks for some of you to be coming across as over confident cocky fans. This game will be close.
