			<description><![CDATA[ I think another thing that is about to happen to them is a post-BCS Championship hangover. I really could see them losing four games, especially with either a
Fr. or a walk-on at QB. They can outman some teams- like State- but when it comes to teams that have similar talent, the instability at QB could do them in.
Now, the Fr. QB may step up, but even guys like Matt Stafford have had growing pains in the SEC.
<br>
<br>
Also, you have to think that LSU probably used all of their good fortune up last year- like making the BCS title game after losing to Arkansas, beating Auburn
where they basically won on a ball that they just threw up in the air, and beating the officials at Bama, and of course, having an easy draw with an overrated
Ohio State team in New Orleans. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ overrated according to this poll. I&#39;m convinced Miles is a good coach, but they have lost 2 games every year he&#39;s been there. Last year they lost to
two average SEC teams and won many close ones (Auburn, Bama, UF). I just don&#39;t think LSU will finish as high as ranked here. They do have an inexperienced
QB and lost some serious leadership from last year&#39;s team. It might not matter because they are loaded with talent. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>if you gave every other top 10 team their schedule...and having to play @Auburn, @Fla, @SC, and then Georgia...those teams would have at least 1-2 losses as
well..talent-wise they are one of the top 10 teams in the nation, thats not even disputable...</p>

<p>I think they will play a little more conservative and let him hand off more behind that great line. That will help him alot. You think Auburn feels alot
better about their QB situation right now?</p> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ i knew you would be responding anyways since LSU was named as overrated in the orginal article. 
<br>
<br>
too bad state wasn&#39;t ranked so that you could call us overrated due to the lack of offense.  then you would have been able to fight both of your more
common battles at the same time. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ about this topic. Of course, I probably wouldn&#39;t have either.
<br>
Last I heard, that &quot;4-star&quot; QB wasn&#39;t playing well enough to beat the walk-on. Hardly awe-inspiring.
<br>
By the way, we have a 4-star QB too. He&#39;s second string.
<br>
All the talent in the world with no QB can&#39;t win games- just ask Charlie Weiss.
<br>
<br>
&quot;Their schedule may do them in.&quot;
<br>
That&#39;s exactly what I&#39;ve been saying. We should start calling you john kerry.
<br>
<br>
You think at #6 they&#39;re not overrated?? 17ing #6? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>Basically, Lee is a better QB than Carroll is what its got to do with it. And hate to tell you, he is starting his 3rd year in college....LSU will manage
the game with him just as they have other QB&#39;s that havent had alot of starts (like that guy Flynn last year)...All i heard out of you and others last year
was that there was no way they could replace Russell and Miles was going to fall on his face...how did that work out for ya?</p>

<p>&quot;<strong>They were even better last year and lost 2 games. Almost lost a couple more. You act like high school rated talent alone is all that matters.
You should know better</strong>.&quot;
<br>
<br>
<br>
Not on the OL they werent, and they will be just as good on the DL....many feel Francious is better than last years 1st Round pick...</p>

<p> </p>

<p>aGAIN, their schedule may do them in, but they arent over-rated...and Auburn better have their shit together when they come to town...</p> ]]></description>
