    Well, LSU scored 30 points a game last season, with Jefferson having a bad year. I'm not having any trouble seeing LSU score enough points to win. Especially with our defense and a ball-control offense.

    Oregon has to post points against a stingy defense, too. 18 points a game allowed last year with 6 ranked opponents. If LSU gets a lead early, They are going to grind it out slowly on the ground for 10 minute drives. Oregon can't score if they can't get the ball back. Don't count on getting your normal number of plays.

    Jefferson has a record of 20-7 in a highly competitive league. He was unspectacular last year and LSU finished 11-2.

    Jefferson is one man out of 85. Oregon is going to have its hands full with LSU, chief.

    And if you see him . . . it will be because he is better than Jefferson, which won't be good for you.

    This is where I think you've left the reservation. Y'alls offense could only muster 19 points against Auburn's defense last season and they weren't even one of the better defenses in the SEC.

    Yet you expect to score 28-31 pts against a much better LSU defense? How do you come up with this? Auburn limited your offense with ONLY having a good DL. The rest of their defense, especially their secondary was atrocious. Yet you expect to hang 28-31 on a defense that is stacked from the DL all the way back to the secondary? :confused: I don't follow your logic.

    that's actually not true. the Pac 10 has 6 schools over 35K enrollment (ASU, Washington, Arizona, UCLA, USC, Cal), while the SEC only has 2 (Florida, Georgia). the rest of the schools of both conferences are in the 20k to 30k range, except for the three smallest schools: Washington State, Stanford, and Vanderbilt. For example, LSU has 29K while Oregon has 23K. The only conference that has a lot of huge schools is the Big Ten (7 schools over 40K)

    the reason football is so big in the SEC is because the SEC has the biggest collection of great football programs. if you look at the 16 schools with the best all-time winning percentages in college football, the SEC has six of them (Bama, TN, GA, LSU, Auburn, FL). no other conference has more than 3: Big Ten has 3 (Ohio St, Michigan, Penn St), Big 12 has 3 (Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska), the ACC had 2 (FSU, Miami), the Pac Ten has 1 (USC). and you can take the two ACC schools off that list because they don't have as long as a history as those other schools: they've only played 700-900 games while the rest of those schools have played 1,100-1,200

    of course the greatest football programs of all-time are going to have built up the greatest fanbases and the greatest support over the generations... and the SEC has the biggest collection of such programs

    Virginia Tech
    Ohio State
    Oklahoma
    Texas A&M
    Miami FL
    Arizona
    Arizona State
    Oregon State
    Washington

    Only 4 losses OOC in the last 10:
    Texas lost by 15
    Iowa lost by 5 on a hail mary
    Penn State lost by 2 fluke

    Good points man...

    I think another reason football is so big is the high school atmosphere in the south too. The southern states have a high rate of players making it into the NFL and you see a lot of people, like us, who will follow great kids even if they go to other schools....

    what

    So if Bama is fixing to play Troy the fact that Troy is smaller and has never had muck luck (maybe Troy is is bad example) against teams like Bama has nothing to do with the pre game talk ????? :wave::wave::wave::wave::wave:
