It's "whoa" BTW. I normally wouldn't be sensitive to such inconsequential things but this board seems really touchy when it come to grammar. Just a friendly warning or the grammar hall monitors might make you kneel in rice as penance.

If LSU OL lost "most" of the battles against GSU, GSU would have won the game. You don't lose "most" of the battles and win a game much less deliver a beat-down where the game is effectively over before the end of the first quarter.

I love the problem of abundance of riches. But focus on the 3.8 ypc stat and totally ignore the 8.8 yard per reception for the RBs (which are essentially <5 yard hand-offs).

So you're saying that losing teams even in a beat-down win some one on one battles throughout the game. Good to know.

You have to understand UT logic. LSU rotating 5 talented RBs is a weakness and UT having one legit RB starter and a converted LB and QB to RB as backups is a strength.

That was actually a pretty good breakdown but a few counter points: The LSU running game: it will be much improved from last year. Last year we had CEH and Broussard. Broussard sucked by LSU RB standards and CEH does not have breakaway speed. Last season we never had that breakaway RB like previous years (Hill, Fournette, Guice). We have that this year in Davis-Price and Emery but I don't expect to see much of these freshmen until the second half of the season as they become more proficient with the playbook. With that said CEH is very effective between the tackles. He reminds me of Pierre Thomas who retired d from the Saints and played at Illinois. Don't discount Burrow's low passing completion percentage last year. Much of that had to do with being smart with the ball and trowing it away when there were no open receivers. His passing percentage will be improved this year because the offense we are running now is something similar to OSU...an offense that Burrow was very familiar with.

This is actually kind of interesting. Is there a controversy between UT and aTm on the spelling of aggy? Because aTm uses "Aggie" or "Aggies". https://www.tamu.edu/traditions/aggie-culture/aggie-terminology/

Hire Huckleberry. He'll tutor you on how to plural words ending in "y".

So what do you think about the the game this weekend between LSU and UT?

I was parroting sports reporter Jimmy Smith who has been following Stingley since 8th grade. Here is some more info on the subject: https://247sports.com/college/lsu/Article/WATCH-LSU-commits-battle-for-The-Opening-Finals-7-on-7-Championship-2018-119554708/

Of course we know the full the name of LSU. The question didn't even deserve a genuine response because you know it wasn't a genuine question to inform and the fact that LSU is an A&M college has zero bearing on the game Saturday. However in the context of surlyhorns.com responding to an OP that is trashing LSU it's an obvious attempt to belittle LSU like you belittle your former cross state rival.

Epic LSU versus UT weekend and UT fans stuck on Aggies. LOL.

There is a lot of BS in your post and little substance. How do you feel about match-ups? LSU O-Line versus UT D-Line? Will UT's backup RBs have the smarts to recognize and pick up Dave Aranda's blitz packages? You know that 2nd TD pass in the LaTech game by Ehlinger gets picked off by LSU DBs, right? How do you feel about UT DBs matching up with LSU WRs? I hope Herman's game plan it to test our freshman corner Stingley. Do you realize Stingley played on the 7 versus 7 circuit since eight grade against your wide receivers? The point is, he knows them already. Oh, and please kick to Stingley on punts. How to feel about our DL matched up against your OL? Do you realize that our NT Tyler Shelvin is playing himself into a 1st round pick in a couple of years and he is backed up by two very talented freshman in Ika and Evans. Furthermore the depth at NT has allowed Fehoko to move to DE in Aranda's 3-4. I also don't think you realize the depth LSU has at LB. You will know the name "Jacoby Stevens" by the end of the game.
