Stanford 20  USC 17

still first half

That was all that Stanford got. USC won 45-20.

I guess they couldn't score without me watching.

The way Louisiana Monroe was scoring against the FSU defense by the end of the game, they would have won if they went for the two point conversion in OT1.

I was following the LSU game as best I could at work. The commentators kept going on and on about how amazing LSU has become. Yeah, they scored 45 points, but they did it against a Big 12 defense. And they gave up 38 points.

Going into Austin and winning was impressive. The way they're scheduled, there's a very real possibility that both Bama and LSU will be undefeated when they meet. I don't see 2011 level hype for that game though, because the LSU team I saw last night didn't look like a contender. The offense doesn't scare me in the least, and the defense has none of the nastiness that the 2011 LSU defense had.

I mentioned it in Coach's notes thread, the Texas O line was impressive against LSU's D. In fact, I'd say they manhandled them. As you said, that ole LSU nastiness is not there. At this point, I'm not worried either.

I know you guys aren't concerned about LSU.  But I saw a very good team that will get better as the season progresses.  Passes were very accurate into very tight windows.  This is by far the best offense LSU has fielded since they still had Saban players.

I'm not going to dismiss LSU that easily.  If they can correct defensive mistakes they'll be every bit as challenging as Georgia.

I’m not denying that they’re a good team. They’d almost certainly go undefeated in the Big 12 or PAC. They could probably beat OSU and win the BIG 10 on a good day. I just don’t think the amount of praise the commentators were heaping on them was justified. I saw a good team, not an elite team last night.

I agree CP. LSU's QB is much improved from last year and the up-tempo O was working.  Let's see how LSU does as they move into SEC games.  After all, that was a BIG12 D they were up against, and it showed.

On the subject of BIG12 D's.....they are making Jalen look good.

I will be honest, what I saw from the LSU/Texas game, I was impressed with LSU.  Also, the TX QB threw the ball better than I thought he did.

All I can add is.....

As LSU comes to the SEC schedule I think they lose one game before they see us. RTR!

I don't see a loss ricky.  LSU does have a three week schedule of Florida, Miss. State and Auburn and could lose one of those games, but I think they're a good bit better than those teams and will handle them.

Texas's defense held Georgia to 7 points in the first three quarters of the Sugar Bowl.  So even though Georgia didn't want to be there, it still takes a good team to do that.

I may be wrong but during that stretch I was feeling a loss to either Fla. or Auburn. Just wondered if they make it through this run? RTR!

LSU is the home team for the both the Florida and Auburn games.  It might be the sandwich game, going to Mississippi State, where they don't prepare well.   Mississippi State also has a practice game the week before playing LSU (they play Tennessee).   

But you might be right, when Les Miles was coach, and also under Orgeron, LSU has had games where they didn't prepare adequately.
