Depends what you mean by great.
I don’t think we are getting 2019 offense. But I think sustained drives and a score in the upper 20s to low 30s is possible, perhaps likely. I think LSU will be stubborn and try to pound out a ground game, especially in the first half.

I think ole Miss will have 2 scoring drives in the game, 3 if we give them a short field via turnover.

I like LSU in 28-14 sort of game.

Start going down the line of defensive players and saying their names, I guarantee you want get half way done and you will start to smile and wonder how you could even think that. Here I’ll start it off for you. Harold Perkins, Whit Weeks, Mansoor Delane, Jack Pyburn. Can I stop are do you want me to continue, have you started smiling yet?

One of the few offensive concerns is his Nuss throwing screens and sideline throws. For example, the first offensive series...three and out, and a lousy throw right out of his hand to the receiver.

Between the hashes and downfield, he is deadly.

Ju'Juan Johnson gives the running game a chance to break one for a long run to the end zone.

Durham isn’t getting much to work with gap wise but he seems to just run into contact. Johnson can make guys miss.


Agreed on Durham, I've noticed I think more times than I would think is typical, if and when there is a gap or a path, he doesn't see it.

What are you basing your “prediction” on? Serious question.

Nuss being healthy that simple. It’s a completely diff offense when nuss is at full strength.

We’re gonna have to give Berry some more carries or JJ. I understand the issues with pass protect, but at this point, we need shiftier/speedier back that can make something out of nothing. I’ve seen enough of Durham into a clogged middle. (And I like me some Durham)

Nuss being hurt has nothing to do with the inability of the offensive line to block.

Left side has been fine. Right side specifically at tackle is the issue

Watching the game on TV, they showed numerous times where Durham gave up on the route he was supposed to run and cut back into traffic. The holes have been there, he's just too impatient or lacks confidence in his line holding blocks. In any case, Johnson is the better, scarier threat. He can run, catch, and throw.

Running game is still not looking very good along with too many drops from WRs. Juwan Johnson looked good, so maybe getting him more snaps would help. Durham hasn't looked right. Not sure what is going on there.

The offense has potential with all the speed they have. We need more creative run calls to make the D guess more. Nuss' passes looked better on Saturday, so if that continues and WRs fix the drop issues, then we could be a lot better on offense.

Depends on what you define a great performance as. Because I actually thought our offense had a very good/great performance against Clemson. But we had a very poor performance against La Tech and Florida. Then had a good performance this past weekend against South Eastern.

I would say a Great Performance would be 450 yds of total offense with at least 150 yds rushing and 24+ points. I think that is very possible and can happen. I really want to see the offense establish the run, be efficient on first and second downs, and score touchdowns in the redzone.

Everyone not named Moore has been the issue and he got beat several times due to his injury. I just don’t see LSU lighting up Ole Miss but I hope I am wrong.
