I am psyched for many reasons.  LSU is a great team, the kind that has always played in the Dome.  Though an Orange fan, I picked up teams wherever I lived to follow locally (before ESPN began broadcasting every game).  I was stationed in Louisiana so I followed LSU (LATech was too painful to watch back then).  Many on here know I am not a fan of the SEC practices but I still like LSU.

As for Orange reasons: I like this team.  Scrappy, gritty, too young to know they can't win, yet old enough to keep at it and get back up when they are knocked down.  Our defense is designed for LSU's strength, though I expect Fournette to net a fair amount of yardage, I think we may be the stiffest run defense (at least our first team) LSU faces.  Our blitzing schemes will drive an unsuspecting team nuts (this is where Fournette may really shine-if we run pass him and he is unscathed the first five yards).  Offensively, Dungey to every receiver - Dungey is a good QB,our running backs are very solid and the triple option will make trouble for anyone.  Who knows, maybe we release AJ Long on LSU just to mess with their heads, the kid is as scrappy as can be.

On paper we will lose, LSU is too deep with excellent speed.  I think the Orange can keep it close and if LSU screws up on their part (looking ahead, taking Syracuse lightly) our kids can pull this one off.

Regardless, LSU is noted for good fans and is bringing 7,500, so the tailgate scene should be fun (though I can only enjoy it vicariously through this board, being in Houston) and the game experience should be good.

Is it Saturday yet?
