The closest UL-LSU game in 86 years! Predictions?

_ ...but 17 points seems optimistic since we have never scored a touchdown at tiger stadium... _

I'm tired of all this "never scored a touchdown at tiger stadium" nonsense. I can assure you nobody on this team cares. It is pretty obvious from the first two weeks of play that these two teams are more evenly matched than in the previous two meetings, and the Cajuns know that.

Cajuns bust that as$:

Cajuns: 35
Tigers: 1 (Tigers get a safety, but get docked one point for too many fans switching band wagons at the end of the third quarter)

I have to disagree here. SU and KSU are not accurate parallels to Washington and Vandy. Say what you will, but Vandy was much better Saturday night than many expected. I don't think that it had anything to do with LSU not being as good a football team -- Vandy is just getting better.
All we have to look at are stats and the final scores. I for one did not expect LSU to win both games by 40+ points. As the season plays out, people will see both Vandy and Washington as quality opponents. I'd be surprised if KSU wins 4 games this year.
In the past, LSU has played cupcakes to open each season, arriving at the UL-LSU tilt with inflated stats and egos. That is not the case this year, and I fully expect LSU to come into this game with an attitude they've never had before when facing UL -- we must win and win big to justify our status as a top ten team. Maybe this added pressure will work against LSU and benefit UL, but in the end I don't think its going to be close.

LSU 32
UL 17

This LSU team looks dreadful compared even to last year. The defense is still trying to find itself, while the offense is not confident in their QB at all. Jefferson will make a lot of short throws and Lafell, Tolliver, Dickson etc.....will break a few big gains. Ultimately though,the running game will give UL problems.

I think this will be a tight game just like every other game LSU has played this year.

UL sticks in there for a half.

FINAL
LSU: 35
THE U of Louisiana: 17

I would love nothing more than to see LSU win another NC but it's not happening this year. People keep trying to say that they just played two quality teams to start the year and that they are a "Sleeping Giant", but I am gonna have to disagree. LSU is a solid team, but not the dominant team that they had from 03-07. They just aren't top ten calibre. That being said, they should win handily, but I don't think it will be a replay of the last two times these teams met.

LSU - 35
UL - 13

Is there a paticular reason you would love for LSU to win another championship? Go over to their board and see the "love" they have for us. It is sickening.

I do pull for LSU everytime they play anyone but us. I think it reflects well on the State. I don't pull for their fans. About 30% graduated from there, and the other 70% are just ignorant as******, that think LSU is a football team and not a University. I could care less what they are writing on their message boards.

Agreed. They are not NC worthy, nor are they a "sleeping giant". I just think that their best football is ahead of them.

LSU - 42
UL - 10

_ YES!! Sorry we missed you Saturday. Ozzie and his "much better" half carried the water for you...always great to see players parents come to the Eaque

With this team, I think we can beat the spread.
