Also said he was on the return on the kickoff after the first TD (1:56 mark).

This kid has a UF offer....and that's it. He is committed to Ga Tech (which I can't see him sticking with) and has gotten about a dozen offers since his commitment to them, including Ohio State and UF (big time offers). But until he schedules a UF visit I'm not going to get my hopes up. Knox needs to get his sh*t together. We're literally on Plan F or lower at this point. I don't get it....

Hate to say but we are playing to our recruiting level. We are how we recruit.
Beating LSU however would be out if our league.

While I generally agree with your recruiting sentiment, I'm not that convinced about LSU. They are steamrolling folks this year, but their level of competition has been pretty inferior. That this game is in BR makes me give them the edge, but a Gator win would not surprise me at all. The theory I have subscribed to for awhile is that great recruiting does not mean competing for championships, but you can't compete for championships without great recruiting. Schools like LSU, A&M, FSU, and Michigan have had great classes over the last few years and other than FSU, none of them have made a conference championship game in a while, let alone get a sniff at the playoffs. We've also seen many teams overachieve their recruiting, though they too don't really compete for championships (despite what some folks at a certain school in Orlando seem to think).

Just shows how much LSU is smoke and mirrors.
Here are the defensive rankings of the teams that this “high powered” LSU offense has faced:
Georgia Southern- 60th
Texas- 104th
NWSU(FCS)- 113th
Vandy- 125th
Utah St- 95th

We'll find out what they're made of this year. Orgeron hired a good OC, he seems to be letting him run the show. They recruit about as well as anyone not named Alabama (and UGA). So they have the talent. They have a very good DC. If they lay an egg against us, Alabama, or Auburn it'll be the same old story. If they win the West? Well, that will say a lot. They lose Burrow after this year, so can they sustain the success on the field? They are bringing in a heck of a class this year, especially along the DL. We'll know more in less than 48 hours.

Personally, I do not think they are a bad offense, but they aren't what people think they are so far.
Really all they have is Burrow. I am not that impressed with their running game...of course I am not entirely impressed with ours either....however we have more options, both in the ground game and through the air.
Our defense is also better than LSU, as a whole. Our DBs smoke theirs, but the front 7 will probably keep us from having any monster day on the ground.
Barring injury, I see nothing that says we won't win this game.

They're laying the groundwork for a successful program w/ the talent they're stockpiling. Their WR's are very good. If they keep running this offense and keep getting the right QB they'll give Alabama a run. I'd say their D is not as good as usual, and I haven't researched it but they likely had to replace some key pieces. One thing we know is LSU will usually have a good defense. Offense has been their problem since Miles took over. Has it been fixed? Again, we'll see. But I do think Orgeron has finally found a good OC. If O gets canned in the next couple of years, the next guy will be in good shape taking over. Unlike what Mullen inherited, after the Butters sh*t-show.

So during the summer camps we all read that Wingo was consistently the best linebacker. Outshining Justin Flowe and others. Rivals analyst Rob Cassidy believes Wingo is a top 5 player in the country regardless of position. Basically, he will be a five star before the final ranking and so will Dexter (his stats are insane).

Isn't Dexter a 5-star on 247 already? Need Rivals to come around on him....and 247 to move Wingo up.

Yep, seems they've been stuck in the 80's offensively for years. Not necessarily '3 yards and a cloud of dust', but just a ball control, pro-style, i-formation, type that's designed to score no more than 30 points vs. good teams and control the clock....and rely on the defense to win the game. Even when Miles won the NC their offenses were the same, they just had an NFL defense.
