Is it scary that many people say a team that won 45-0 against a mediocre road opponent didn't play very well?

Yes it is. And let's be real here, while Miss St. is horrible they are in the SEC and pull SEC caliber talent. I find this win more impressive than the Louisville 73-10 over a high school team.

While I agree LSU didn't play as well as I hoped, I've got the feeling they kept it pretty simple for Matt Flynn's sake as well as not tipping their hat to VT. By the end of the season with the amount of pure talent on this team LSU will be an offensive juggernaut.

Terrible analysis.

Their poor play is a result of missed assignments, mental gaffes, penalties, and other sorts of blatant errors. The final score has little to do with whether you play well or poorly especially when you say "mediocre road opponent" which could really mean anything. Since a shut out is almost a given with a team as poor offensively as State.

Sly Croom could have kept State in the game well into the 2nd half and given his team/fanbase/recruits hope for the season if he hadn't completely abandoned the run. Once you start dropping Henig back every down and letting LSU pin the ears back you are basically throwing in the towel.

I think your analysis is a little off.

I agree LSU played poorly on offense. I think the RT Stewart is a huge liability. He got pwned basically every play and Matt Flynn looked like the speed of the game was too much for him at times.

BUT.

Miss St. while not very good, is an SEC team with a decent history and pulls some talent. That being said, LSU wrecked them defensively and that's not going to change from week to week. We might have watched college football's best defense last night. What is going to change from week to week is the friggin fullback isn't going to get the bulk of the carries. LSU might actually play in a 4/5 WR set with 1/0 RB and throw the ball 35 times in a game instead of basic handoff right/left/up the middle. That was polar opposite of any Gary Crowton coached team in histoy. I expect a test from VT next week but in the end the more of the same.....a LSU victory.

LSU mos def has to make some progress offensively. Something I found very encouraging was how they came out after halftime. It seems like they were able to make some adjustments, and operated much better.

I do have concerns about the RT.

Yeah ok dude, Miss St. lost to Tulane either last year or the year before at HOME. The fact that I go to this school and can't remember this should tell you how little anyone here cares about football, how bad Tulane is, and how incredibly bad MSU is in turn. The fact that they pull "SEC talent" is simply because they are in the SEC, not because anyone on their team has been good recently.

And they still suck.

This reminds me of notre damers holding their head high as they beat Navy or Army. Yay.

When's the last time MSU won more than 3 games in a season?

Mind you, they did lose to Maine a couple years ago. Which must've been a shock with all that 'SEC caliber' they pull.

didn't they beat Bama and Florida in recent memory as well?

If we're pulling out the lows, we must remember the highs

I hear that.

But calling this a huge win is a joke.

I don't think I ever called beating Miss St. a huge win. I simple stated it deserves a little more credit than practically every other team in the Top 25 playing Div II teams this week.

This is what I got out of what you were saying. I read it as

LSU >>>> MS State

UL >>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>> Murray State

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
