ok so he was out of position a lot but Ill remember him for the forced fumble which won us the game vs UT in 2001. i have a soft spot for the whipping boy. smart prediction.
I wasn't thinking along this line, but it would certainly make sense to rest the starters (and get them out of harm's way) if the game is well in hand. I think the week off before Florida is a real break for LSU. When CLM has extra time, the team always seems to be extra-well prepared for the next game. Reading the Florida boards, they seem to be split pretty evenly between those who think they can beat LSU and those who are very concerned about the game.
As posted in the official thread: Some are saying that a key for Mississippi State is to stop the running game and make LSU one-dimensional. I say that is an arbitrary comment and you can say that in regards to just about any game. MSU got absolutely run over by GT...to the tune of (I think) 400+ yards rushing. If a middle-of-the-pack ACC team can do that to MSU, then LSU should at least duplicate that. Scott will get over 150 yards a couple of TDs and retire for the night. KW, Murphy, and Ridley will clean it up for the rest of the night. We might even have two 100 yard rushers in this one! When the game is firmly in hand, I think CLM will start really slinging it with Lee to continue to get his confidence up for Florida. He'll end up with close to 200 passing and a couple of TDs and maybe an INT if he's still eyeballing his receivers. Defensively, Moo U is still a traditional offense and we'll get back to basics with a 4-3 set. I expect a bland four or five-man rush, but that'll be enough. We'll stuff the run like a Thanksgiving turkey and put the pressure on that interception-prone QB to pass. In short, it's going to get ugly early. Punting will be in our favor, although MSU has had WAY more practice at it so far this year! :hihi: Holiday will get another chance at returning and capitalize enough to get him the start at that position for Florida...just in time to give us a repeat of 2006! Hopefully, it won't cost us there this year like it did then. Official Attack Tiger prediction: 52-7 LSU...and I'm assuming they get points off a redshirt freshman QB mistake.
I'll never forget the Ark game (forget what year) when he gave up back2back 80yrd TD passes. We still won the game, but it wasn't because of him. He was a great kid, but I used to get frustrated watching him at times. 34-6 us.
Tighter than we would like with less success in the offense than we would like: LSU - 24 MSU - 17 (pick 6 again) Off - Scott Def - Riley
HELLO! We scored 26 against Auburn! I'm amazed at how many folks predict our offense will be that anemic.
