    LOL


    31-3 and LSU is getting worse? Your on crack.....

    everyone keeps sayin " we are going to get killed in SEC play" when all the long, UF, ( top team in the country) won by 10 at tenn when Tenn is 1-2 and CSU is 0-3 and troy is 1-2.

    I would venture to say LSU has played better teams than UF so far.

    LSU can beat anyone they play and they can lose every game they play.

    All that matters is how LSU plays any given saturday....

    Really tho, prepare your team to play a team that has not score a TD in like 70 years.......31-3 baby....

    F u haters


    LSU BABY!

    Our defense couldn't get sufficient pressure on the QB and the O line could be better, but this was a good win. This will be a good gauge to judge what to do in future games.

    We have so many special players on offense, defense and special teams, perhaps in future recruiting, we should concentrate on 5 star offensive and defensive lineman.

    Opponents have gotten worse every week, and our play has gotten worse every week. If you don't see that, then I'm assuming you haven't been watching. If you're happy with the 'progress' that the team has made so far, then I applaud your optimism. The score vs freaking USL is irrelevant, and you really oughta know that.

    I think JJ is showing some progress. He was a little scatter-armed in the first half, but he threw the ball well in the second half.

    Our pass blocking is improving, but the run blocking is still very disappointing.

    Congrats to Reuben Randle, first of many receptions as a Tiger tonight.

    [SARCASM]I am very disappointed with Russell Shepard....dude has been with the team 9 months and appears to have learned just one play. At least that's what it looks like based on the play calling when he enters the game.[/SARCASM]

    Did Chad Jones have 2 interceptions tonight? I saw his pick in the 4th quarter, missed the TO in the 2nd that set up the Holliday touchdown.

    Great heart shown by the defense down on the goalline, and in general tonight. ULL has a good qb and some decent athletes for him to work with. Holding them to a field goal is a very good night's work in my opinion.

    Moving Harry Coleman to LB was a wise decision.

    Our kicking game is improving.....52-yarder from Jasper, and Helton is beginning to impress.

    Them's my thoughts.

    Exactly. I have not seen any improvement in this team from week's 1-3.
    If they don't get it together real quick we will probably have another long season. I'm keeping the faith as of now and think everytjing is going to be o.k.

    Definitely not impressed with O-line, D-line, or running game at this point so far. These areas should be strengths of ours given our size there, but they do not deserve the bashing CC is giving here. LSU is 3-0, and the players are getting used to a new defensive scheme. The QB is starting his 5th game, and and O-line just needs to gel.

    One thing that does concern me a bit is that the coaches seemed to succumb to the public pressure of having JJ throw downfield in the first half at any costs. Now, maybe they just wanted to basically practice throwing bombs, but to do it over and over seemed predictable and silly.

    Definitely the kicking game in both areas of FGs and punting has improved. I predict we will have our best showing against MSU this week, and all of this naysaying will disappear.

    Unfortunately, that will never happen.

    I don't think they were succumbing to public pressure. I believe they wanted to see where JJ needed to improve in throwing the bombs. They knew that doing that against UW or Vandy could've resulted in costly, game-changing turnovers, so they aired it out last night. Now, they can really work on some things.

    ULL wasn't going to be as apt to make us pay for throwing haphazardly all over the field as our other two opponents would have.

    good points. just seemed they were so intent on throwing long, it seemed so obvious. having said that, our talent level was so superior that it did not result in anything too bad, and if JJ had a little more on the balls, they would have been TDs.
