Official LSU vs. OU Thread (a.k.a. Boomers lose to Tigers again!)

LSU should be able to win this game rather easily. No way the OU defense can stop the passing game of Burrow, Chase, Jefferson, Marshall, & Moss. Not many, if any teams can stop that attack.

OU’s defense has been its weakness and they will be missing their top pass rusher in Ronnie Perkins and top safety who is 2nd on the team in tackles in Delarrin Turner-Yell. Losing those 2 is HUGE cause they are really important to the pass defense.

It stinks that Clyde is injured, but I don’t think we need him today. I hope he dresses out as an emergency back only cause we will definitely need him in the championship game. We can not afford him to not be in that game here in NOLA. I would love to see John Emery Jr have a breakout game cause I think he’s most talented out of the trio of backs behind Clyde. He was seen as the top back in the country coming out of high school last year. TDP is your quintessential power back. He will likely get the bulk of the carries. Both have shown some glimpses of being the future at running back. Supposedly Baby Beastmode, who some call Chris Curry, has had some great practices according to Coach O & Burrow. He’s really talented as well and rarely does anything negative. All 3 of these backs could be starting for most college programs, so I have faith in them. And all 3 will be out on the field getting touches today.

I think the defense is finally fully healthy this year, but still missing Michael Divinity. I hope he’s able to play in the championship game. The pass rush leaves a lot to be desired. I was hoping Dave Aranda would get the head coaching job at UNLV cause we need to go back to the 4/3 defense. He’s one of the best defensive coordinators out there, but he’s a 3/4 guy. We have to bring in all linebackers with one defensive tackle on the D-line on 3rd downs so we can get pressure. LSU was always successful running the 4/3 defense. Hardly any team runs a 3/4 in college cause it’s not that effective for rushing the passer unless you get the best talent like Bama. We need to have two K’Lavon Chaisson types rushing from the edge cause now they can just double him. The secondary is the best in college football. Delpit, Stingley, Fulton, Stevens, and Vincent can play with anybody and hopefully they can stop CeeDee Lamb. He’s a beast and I would love to see him in the black & gold next season, but doubt he will fall that far. Jalen Hurts and CeeDee Lamb are the two guys that can really hurt us. We have shown that stopping a dual threat QB is one of our biggest weaknesses. Hurts has turned the ball over a ton though, so hopefully if he gets a big run we strip the ball from him.

Score Prediction:

LSU 41
OU 24
