Week 5 Thread

pretty sure Simmons made his feelings known to Lane in the face to face department , therefore Lane knew not to follow up........

Well I need to qualify myself, LSU could be a winnable game provided we are at full strength.

Texas will be very difficult but we have played well against them the last two years. 
Ole Miss is more of a toss up presently than it was at the beginning of the season. But much can happen over the next 7-8 weeks.

LSU has potential to be very good… very talented and well coached.

The glaring issue is QB play is inconsistent.

Levitt is talented enough to lead them to 10-2 and inconsistent enough to lead them to 8-4.

 

Lane should have tried harder to get Simmons to LSU, maybe he did??? I know I’d trust Simmons over Levitt. 

I think LSU will just get better as the year goes on offensively.  I think that Kiffin knows what he has in Levitt and will put him in the right situations.

And add into that that penalties at crucial times as well. Bama still wins the game but we hurt ourselves severely with unforced errors between turnovers and penalties. 

Two penalties on 3rd and 24 and on a FG attempt lead to 14 points.  That’s tough.

AP Poll is pretty worthless in this era but I did find it interesting that State only dropped one spot to 17.

 

Mizzou crushing Florida like they did probably helped State from a perception standpoint.

 

Although now State is ranked behind a Mizzou team they just beat a week ago, so that’s kinda silly. But not the only instance of something like that in the polls. LSU is now ahead of Ole Miss in the coaches poll, for example.

 

I’ll start putting stock into any polls in about a month when the CFP polls start rolling out.

Minnesota beating Michigan also helped us out. The Minnesota thrashing could age very well throughout the year. That was a good B10 team
