re: Bama fans...grow up.

Yay, more threads about how teams look after just two or three games!!!

LSU has reason to be happy - they haven't had an offense that even looked semi-competent for this long a stretch in ages. The fact it came against weaker opponents is irrelevant because even last year they looked like crap against weaker opponents, like Auburn.

We opened up against Tech, who played a seriously hard-nosed style of D. We went up by a few scores and didn't need to do much else. Our offense was fairly vanilla, but we did see issues. We focused on fixing the issues on the offense.

Against A&M, we racked up over 500 yards on offense, played a near perfect game, and our QB looked pretty dang good in the pocket. We beat the reigning Heisman winner, and we had none of the luxury of any tune-up games. We went from a hard nosed, hard hitting defense to a fling it around, score a gazillion points offense. Testing wrinkles and personnel was never an option, like other teams have had the luxury of.

We get one tune up game (CSU), and then we play yet another ranked opponent, Ole Miss. It's a front loaded schedule, and if we beat Ole Miss we'll be 4-0, with only one more legit threat on our regular season schedule.

LSU, after this weekend, will still have no idea how they match up against a good team. Auburn might be 3-0, but there are a lot of 1AA schools with a tougher SOS than Auburn. LSU will leave that game still hungry, and it will be UGA that gives them a first test - even then, UGA's D is talented but inexperienced. Will even they give some measure of how good LSU's offense is, or only let us see how good LSU's defense is? No one knows.
