This team tonight beats MTSU

[Alsacs]

We made a ton of mistakes but looked a lot better.

We should be 3-1 and could honestly be 4-0.

We need more talent but we are moving in the right direction.

Dino had them (somewhat) prepared tonight and not last week. It will be interesting to see next who has a bigger letdown. Cuse who expended a lot of energy and emotion in a tough loss or NC St. coming off beating FSU.

But might as well be optimistic, beats the alternative.

But the real-life team lost to MTSU. And that’s what matters. Period.

IMO, this 9 point loss and the 10 point loss in the dome two years ago are not even remotely close to the same game.

This is a completely different team. It is also a completely different performance than the one we saw against Middle Tennessee...

Can this team play the way it needs to throughout the remainder of the schedule?

That's my question. Because if they can, we'll play in a bowl game this year.

I was thinking the same thing. BC, WF, and Pitt combined haven't got as many 4 and 5 star athletes as LSU. I'm not sure about NC State, I get the sense they're really good. Tonight we played well enough to deserve to win the game.

Wake lost to App State.

NCSU is good

Losing the Shafer Bowl really really hurt.

 

[blizz]

We get a Mulligan right?

 

[kcsu]

Wake won

 

[Bayside44]

Wake won

well shoot...

 

[TheCusian]

If we can pick off NC State next week... then we get defense optional PITT at home?

4-2 is not out of reach halfway through

 

[orangenauburn]

I'd err on the side of caution going into NCST

IF we win this coming week, then I think we get six and a bowl

 

[TheCusian]

Made up rankings to prove a point:

LSU O: 5/10
LSU D: 8/10
LSU talent: 8/10
LSU home field advantage: 10/10

NC State O: 8/10
NC State D: 7/10
NC State talent: 6/10
NC State home field advantage: 6/10

Absolutely. We now play 2 teams that are closer to us talent wise than our first 4 opponents. We will see where we are scheme/health wise vs teams we can beat. Anything less than 3-3 will be really disappointing assuming we have a modicum of health

Agree, amazing how scared we played against MTSU. Last night we played to win, used the whole field offensively, and played with our hair on fire.

 

[PhatOrange]

well shoot...

By 1 point so...Same thing

The team was prepared last weekend and destroyed cmu.

Nit state expended just as much energy beating fsu. They have have Clemson and we're their trap game.

 

[SURules]

The MTSU game is could very well haunt us to get to a bowl game. Really needed that win but I chalk it up to growing pains for both the coaches and players.
