Here's why LSU (and at least three others) will beat Ole Miss

[615dawg]

The Ole Miss defense is just not good.

Opponents (Louisville and Charlotte) have had ten second half drives on the Ole Miss defense. They have scored on nine. Ole Miss can't stop anyone. Chambliss is obviously talented and they have some weapons on offense, but that defense is going to give up a ton of yards and points this year.

Could be a 24-17 LSU lead at halftime that turns into a 52-27 blowout.

If they lose this weekend - the self-doubt will start to enter their souls.

They are going to get exposed. The melt on Monday is going to be amazing.

But...but...Pete is a defensive savant...lol.

I think OM pretty much has to win tomorrow to keep any playoff hopes alive. They’ve still gotta travel to Austin, Norman, Gainesville. Still have to play Georgia. Still have to play us and Mizzou who are both good enough on offense to score a bunch on them.

I stand by my prediction that the Egg Bowl is 7-4 vs 7-4.

I think the self-doubt has already entered. Kiffin leaving for LSU was a cold dose of reality about who they actually are, and all of this kicking and screaming is an effort to distract themselves from the cold truth.

How embarrassing it will be if LsU beat OLe mIss with a backup QB?

Chambliss has his name being engraved for the Heisman right now though, literally today or tomorrow

The LSU/mississippi game is a no win proposition for me. Don't want to see either win.

Exactly, I don't care to see the Ole Miss hype train again if they knock off LSU. Also, Kiffin is going to be Kiffin, so I think there is little risk of him building a Saban type dynasty at LSU.

Seems ole Pistol Pete is pulling a Zac Arnett. Trying to change stuff up and ignoring his own strength.

As some observant and logical people (me) have been saying for months... golding is just a prototypical defensive coordinator. A good one, but that should have been his ceiling. Those guys thrive on chaos, creating disorganization and confusion, and they typically win because they have better athletes, not out coaching anyone. He's not smart and organized enough to be a head coach. Some defensive coaches are (Saban, Kirby, etc.) but pete is not one of those. He's closer to Orgeron than he is to Saban. Meaning, he can recruit (with the right 'network' supporting him) well enough to sign some good players. He just doesn't know what to do with them after that. He's like the anti-Mullen.

And they may win this game tomorrow because he still has trinny and lacy, and some other Lane leftovers. They're still athletic enough. But if it comes down to coaching in the end... Lane vs. pete... LOL. Whether it's Saturday or not, this season will eventually show the cracks in his coaching, and will be a harbinger of things to come for the rebs.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. At least for this week. Hell, we teamed up with Stalin and the USSR for 4 years and made it work. I think we can all come together and root for LSU this Saturday.
