We played an Auburn team that was no where near as good as anyone thought it would be and a good Florida team. Let's hold off on any over-achieving comments until after we make it through the gauntlet known as November.

I think we are who we are. We have talent but have depth issues at key areas. Have the ability to win any game on our schedule and are strong enough to survive average teams with sloppy play. We have upgraded offensively from last years 4 loss in the regular season team. No team this year is unbeatable but I like where we are as a program. I thought next year was our year to be special. Will hinge on our last 4 conference games where I expect to win two out of four and hope to win them all. Enjoy the ride

For a while now, I've expected that we'd lose to Alabama and that A&M would finally catch us with them being at the end of a brutal November. I'm reevaluating that last part though after what I saw Saturday. LF might drag his nuts all over Aggie (they'd love that) for 300 yards.

You guys realize we are underdogs in two of our remaining games. 2 losses are expected. Doesn't mean we're overachiving or under. Unless our special teams improve we WILL lose two more imo

Obviously, we must all be drinking too heavily during LSU's games, none of us can recall the first loss.

Not quite sure what you mean by overachieve.

Have we beaten any team we were not supposed to? Or any team we were not favored to?

Has the special teams overachieved?

How about the pass D?

Did we over achieve that game we completed only 4 passes?

If beating teams you are favored to beat is over achieving. WTH would under achieving be?

Did you actually mean to ask if there are potentially more difficult games in our future than in the past? Did you mean to ask that we may face teams in the future that are favored to beat us?

I don't see any possible description of this or any team for that matter that just wins the games they are supposed to win as over achieving.

No. If anything, overall the team appears to be improving. Special teams obviously need to improve, as well, but its not like the talent isn't there for that to happen.

You becoming a zygote is the ultimate in overachieving!

Not overachieving...only beat one good team. They will prove if they are tough enough after this directional school coming up.

A little bit but I'm not surprised we're where we're at.

We're young but talented. This team plays with serious poise for being as young as they are. They don't let the good go to their heads nor do they let the bad hamper them. Les' best teams aren't only talented, but they all are like this. I don't expect us to be in the playoff but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised.

This squad reminds me a ton of the 2010 team. Young and full of promise.

Two more? Are you saying we have a loss no one else knows about?

LOL, if anything LSU is underachieving big time. The dropped passes and penalties are the only reason Harris isn't over 1000 passing and double digit passing TDs.

The BS no call block in the back penalties is the reason why we didn't beat South Carolina by 30 and Florida by double digits.

I mean did you see the ball just grazing Tre White? That was a gift to Florida. How about Fournette's 87 yard TD that was taken off against Syracuse and then us kneeling down inside the redzone at the end when we could have just ran until we either scored or the clock ran out? That's 14 extra points that make the game 48-24.

What about constantly getting penalized on defense against Syracuse and letting them keep marching down the field to score?

What about not having Moore our starting FB against UF, or not having Mills at all this year, or missing Bower for parts of this year, who then had an immediate impact on his return against Florida?

What about Harris shortcomings prior to Florida on connecting with the deep ball?

The shanked punts, the kickoff coverage, barely able to make a touchback?

No, we are underachieving, and still winning.

How could they be overachieving? We've really only beaten one good team so far. You just looking for something negative to say?

I think we've underachieved in several games. After this next game, we're going to know more of who we are. I'm good with overachieving all the way through the rest of the season and post regular season.
