The Purple Plague down south

Lsu will always have a talented team however, what I saw last night was an EXTREMELY overrated Miami team that was lost on all sides of the ball. IMO lsu will lose several games this year. I do agree we have to improve greatly if we are to compete for conference usa champ.

I hope you are right about Miami being extremely overrated. In not lsu might not lose as many games as you think. lsu moved up to 15 in the coaches poll, while Miami is still ranked 21.

In their league teams run the ball a lot. There are no "west coast" offenses, wide open attacks.

Texas A&M (under Sumlin) and, to a lesser extent, Ole Miss being the exceptions. With Aranda at the helm of LSU's defense, you better be multiple if you want to move the ball with any consistency. His defenses at LSU have been very good at matching up against one-dimensional teams.

Of course they did. These polls are meaningless after one game except for Alabama.

Miami was 8 I believe, maybe higher. I can see them falling after losing to a much lower rated team (LSU ws 15). What I don't understand is why in 2012 Tech, no. 24, fell out of the top 25 after losing to A&M, no.23 by only 2 points. If we had won by 2 points we should have just traded places. Polls don't make sense. We might have been 23 and A&M 22, but you get my drift.

I thought lsu was listed at 25 last week.

Probably. The number 15 just jumped into my head.
