They will be better at QB this year than they've been in a while. Soph Stephen McGhee is a stud. Enjoy watching him this year.

aTm is vulnerable. They are not the national power that they once were. I am not saying that we have a good chance at beating them, but we last time we played them in 2002 we had 10 turnovers and they beat us 31-7. All of their points coming off of our turnovers, including two fumbles in the Aggie red zone in the first half. We are vastly improved from the days when Van Cleave was under center. If we get beat I don't see us losing by more than 14 points. I am a Cajun homer to be sure and forever an optimists when it comes to the Cajuns. I just feel that we are going to be that much better this year and if aTm doesn't show up when they play the Cajuns, they are in for a rude awakening.

LSU is a national title contender as much as I hate to say that and I don't think we will come close to winning. I think we put 10-14 points on the board but lose by about 28.

Clutch...got to disagree with your "LSU is a national title contender" statement. They lost 3 starters on both the OL & DL not to mention their top 2 RBs are coming off of major surgery...plus @ Florida, @ Auburn, @ Tennessee....I just don't see them competing for a national title this year. That's not to say they won't be very good b/c I think they will be...just not contenders.

Both environments will be hostile if you will, but aLm will be more so! aTm will have the Soph at quarterback, I give us a better chance against the aggies due to their recent past performances as a program.

aLm I agree with a previous poster have lost three lineman on each side of the ball and have two running backs comming off injuries. Also the aLm game is the first of the season for both clubs, depending on who is not available on both clubs and weather conditions, who knows.

Louisiana over aTm by 7

aLm over Louisiana by 9

Don't just look at them when considering a national title contender. Every team in the top 10 has some holes. Yes they lost alot but so did Notre Dame (Can you name a backup QB there is Quinn goes down), Ohio State (the defense has to replace more talent than anyone in the country), West Virginia (Schedule is favorable but are they really a contender), USC (Leinert, Bush, and White...gone), Oklahoma (Last year they were very young...are the mature enough yet), Texas (Lost the heart and soul of the team in Vince Young), Arizona State (Can they stop anyone on defense), Auburn (They ended last year on a sour note against Wisconsin and are probably the most complete team in the country)

There is more parity this year than I can remember seeing and I might be going out on a limb by saying this but any team in the preseason top 15 has a legit shot. No one teams really stands out like Texas and USC last year. Expect a lot of surprises. I honestly do not want LSU to come close to winning another title but with all the parity at the top they have a really good chance.

I just had a dream last night that we beat the Aggies! .~.

I guess that counts for something, right?

Anyways, I'd feel much better about our chances against TAMU if it were the first game of the season. Typically, players come out of the gate more fired up for the first game. I just hope we're not too demoralized and beat up after Baton Rouge.

come on guys we are just starting to get our program respectable, lets not get to big headed here. I don't see us getting within 20 pts. in both games.

I'll agree about LSUA&M, but not TAMU.

I don't think we'll win, but it's no stretch of the imagination to stay within 20 of them.

ha, i like that...

For all of those that don't think we can't beat aTm, well, u remember what we did once.

For all of those who think we can't beat aLm, just remember Appalachian St. and Oregon St. It is possible folks.

God Bless
