It just irks me when Tubs doesn't get his props. He has managed to get the absolute maximum out of the talent he has had, talent that in many ways is or was inferior to that of the coaches with whom he is compared. Switch the coaches with last year's teams....does LSU lose to Arkansas and Kentucky? Does Auburn win as many games? I doubt it. Anyhow, have a good day on the lovliest village and I look forward to the great reporting!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525031772759334325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-33648963714691043652008-09-19T21:49:00.000-05:002008-09-19T21:49:00.000-05:00I think les miles is a moron.

First of all, how do you give LSU the nod in the secondary? What competetion have they played to warrant that kind of respect? AU basically negated two of the best wideouts they will see this year in those of So. Miss. Steltz, Xenon, and Jackson are gone and Powers is a proven commodity. Phelon has potential, but so did Leon Hart. Potential and $0.25 won't even buy a cup of coffee these days. Miles a coaching edge over Tubbs? Not on your life. The guy didn't even know how much time was left in the game last year before deciding to throw a hail mary pass instead of kicking a chip-shot field goal. Does he have guts and the ring? Sure. But Tubbs has sack too and was cheated out of his chance to touch the holy grail. Not trying to bust your cojones, just trying to figure out the line of thought on those issues.....Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525031772759334325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-41691056163049697642008-09-19T15:28:00.000-05:002008-09-19T15:28:00.000-05:00RM: Live from Leavenworth.RM: Live from Leavenworth.Jay G.

I also think their defensive line is better. The only advantage I think we have is a better secondary. With the loss of Xenon and my former high school teammate, Chevis Jackson (who we nicknamed: Stinky McNoshower back in the day) I don't think their corners have been tested. Not that we could ever take advantage their secondary with chris todd and "the moon ball". <BR/><BR/>My prediction: LSU 21 Auburn 13<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind I have been wrong on every prediction this year except for wesley Carroll being terrible, but that is more a fact in my book.ron mexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914841169342926632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-72743887804320701162008-09-19T13:56:00.001-05:002008-09-19T13:56:00.001-05:00Phred......Prattville would beat Harvard going awa...Phred......Prattville would beat Harvard going away.<BR/><BR/>AU has to stop the LSU run and ut ressure on those young QBs.<BR/><BR/>If the offense can stop mistakes, we can score a few points with CTodd.

For the sake of overkill, time and space, I am going to break things down in a top 3 keys to victory from each team's perspective.<BR/><BR/>KEY #1 - The team that runs the ball the most consistently will win this game. LSU has a mix of speed and power backs for Auburn's undersized, but very quick and sure-tackling defense to deal with. Charles Scott is a great bruiser with some speed while Keiland Williams is more a speed guy. Throw in the occasional carry for Trindon Holliday and it's an impressive bunch. Auburn's group is anchored by the wide-ranging skills of Ben Tate, the game-breaking abilities of Brad Lester (no official word on how much or little he will play this week) and the speed of Tristan Davis. Of course, running effectively takes great offensive line play which LSU has displayed in their laugher opening games while the Auburn squad has been a bit up & down through 3 games.<BR/><BR/>KEY #2 - The defensive backfield will be key in this game. LSU has a pair of great wide receivers. Auburn's group has underacheived thus far but are due a breakout performance. Biggest difference between last year and this year is that AU's DBs are playing much better football and making plays when it counts (see Walkt McFadden's circus INT last week to seal the MSU game). LSU's group hasn't been tested yet but show a lot of promise.<BR/><BR/>KEY #3 - The team with the lead going into the 4th quarter should win the game. When you have teams built on defense, that's what you play to. Get a lead, hunker down, and hang on for the ride. Both teams feature a defensive strategy that allows opponents to move between the 30 yardline markers, but smothers it inside of their own territory. Turnovers always matter, but especially early on as each D will try to put the offense on the short side of the field to make much needed (and probably scarce) points.<BR/><BR/>If you are a fan of knocked your teeth out football, these defenses have just what you are looking for on gameday Saturday.<BR/><BR/>All that being written, I have to go with my instincts on this one and say LSU will win. I think it will be very close and entertaining to watch. Win or lose for Auburn, if they can be more consistent on offense against this team, they should do well the rest of the season. But don't get on Tony Franklin's case too much if AU doesn't light up the scoreboard because neither team probably will.<BR/><BR/>Final Score - LSU 7, Auburn 3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-53458805871354733422008-09-19T11:53:00.000-05:002008-09-19T11:53:00.000-05:00Here's my O vs D analysis:LSU QBs/WRs vs AU DBs: ...Here's my O vs D analysis:<BR/><BR/>LSU QBs/WRs vs AU DBs: Even. LSU's WR talent is nullified by their QB lack of talent and Auburn's up-and-coming defensive stars.<BR/><BR/>LSU RBs/TEs vs AU LBs: Advantage AU, especially in run situations. <BR/><BR/>LSU Oline vs AU Dline: Even, but if Auburn's linebackers can force LSU to have to throw the ball, watch out for Coleman and Carter. <BR/><BR/><BR/>AU QBs/WRs vs LSU DBs: Big Advantage LSU. Look for continued Auburn offensive mediocrity in the passing game.<BR/><BR/>AU RBs/TEs vs AU LBs: Advantage AU. Auburn has to run the ball to be successful, especially with Beckwith out.<BR/><BR/>AU Oline vs LSU Dline: Even. Strength meets strength, but after this week's tongue lashing by Hugh Nall for MSU errors, AU gets it right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-12076071685051282872008-09-19T11:45:00.000-05:002008-09-19T11:45:00.000-05:00I'm aiming to piece together another video this af...I'm aiming to piece together another video this afternoon ... just cleaning up the stuff y'all haven't seen.Jay G.
