LSU/Ms State/Ole Miss are the 3 teams in cfb that I'm the most familar with. With that said, LSU continues the streak and puts the bulldogs away and Ole Miss loses by double digits in Nashville.
Ms State was exposed last week. Their bread and butter is running the football. They basically ran 2 plays all day, a high school option play left/right and a qb draw. LSU will shut those down and force Relf to beat them with his arm. This LSU defense is no joke, just look at how they shutdown oregon. As long as Lee can avoid turnovers, LSU wins this one by 10+ LSU remembers what happened the last time they were in starkville and they will be ready for the spotlight this thursday. The LSU offense isnt going to set the world on fire but they will control the clock and pound you to open up the pass. Not to mention ms state lost their starting left tackle last week (who wasnt that good to begin with. he was a dl until late spring) Ms State has a good team and they will win some games this year but lack of depth and talent will catch up to them in this one. LSU rolls
Ole Miss is sad and pathetic. I'm an ole miss alum and fan. And whats going on right now with our program is embarrassing. We have some young talent but not where it counts. Our QB play is below avg with a juco starter making his 1st career road start. We lost our best player in rb brandon bolden against byu with an ankle injury. Rb jeff scott is a homerun hitter but our offensive line couldnt block oxford high. Southern Illinois spent last saturday in our backfield. Did you even know southern illinois had a football team? In our best years, vandy has owned us. This is a HUGE game for them every year because we are the one sec team they know they have a shot at beating. They are an experienced team playing at home against an ole miss with a juco making his 1st road start, a banged up backfield, a pathetic offensive line, a defense that gave up 24 points to a school that most dont even realize had a football team. Im sad to say, it could get ugly in nashville.
wolfestreet--I love the writeup, and local knowledge. Got a big LOL with the ? of who know Southern Illinois even had a football team b/c my wife went there. So maybe I am one of the few who knew about the football team. They are actually pretty good, as your rebs found out last week. SIU has been to the FCS playoffs several times in the last few years. Anyway, I still like Vandy, as I will trust your call on how bad Ole Miss is.
