anybody know what the line is?
:think2:I mean, lets actually look at this game a little bit. LSU has played 2 games I believe. Appalachian St and North Texas. Not really a high level of competition. Especially for a quarterback that hasnt played an SEC game yet. Not only is this his first SEC game, but it comes in front of possibly the most hostile crowd in the whole conference. Auburn has proven time and time again that they are great in big games against SEC opponent. They best Florida when they won the national title and gave LSU all they wanted on the road last season in a game that went right down to the wire. You look at the Auburn performance from last week and think, "boy this offense blows." Well, they did blow last week, but it was Todds first start on the road in the SEC and he was trying to play on a soggy track against a much improved defense from MSU. Now, he is back at home and they wont be playing on a field that is soaked. So what youve got to understand that this is just a brutal position for LSU to be in. They havent played anybody at all this year and their Harvard transfer QB now gets a piece of Auburn and their defense. Auburn is a team that wins sloppy ugly games at home, especially against teams they are supposed to lose to. Lester being hurt might effect this game but I think Tates down hill running is the best thing to do against LSU. Auburn will not beat LSU to the outside, it will have to come up the middle and that is where Tate excels. Espect the Auburn offense to be better with Todd at home again, and expect the public to be ALL OVER LSU.

Understand AU wins ugly. Yes, but it was done with smack you in the chops O. Not a first year spread. Being implemented by a coach who's been unemployed for 5 years.The spread cannot be forced on recruits that weren't recruited for it. Look at Vol's Crompton. He looked like a JV against UCLA.Lester will be missed. If Todd is as shakey next week as he was vs. MSU, LSU's D will cover the number.LSU 5-3!!

I thought Franklin was the OC for Troy last year no? I thought they were top 20 in total offense too?
