Look, I'm all for giving back and helping raise funds for those still in need around our great state, but these things are atrocious! I mean the patch is ok and the white helmets look decent, but whats with that half-assed "maybe-maybe-not" stripe on the shoulder. It looks like someone used a template of our purple jersey and forgot to completely erase the stripes. And white pants? Ugh. There is a reason the saints stopped wearing the all-whites. Why didn't we just go all out and wear the gold jerseys? What's worse, Nike is only donating a dollar for every jersey sold. It's almost as bad as those two-tones they talked florida into wearing last? year.

The scoreboard read LSU 45 MSU 0.  At face value, it appeared to be a typical LSU vs. MSU type score.  For the third time since 2001, LSU shut out MSU.  The difference was this time, LSU did so in less than spectacular fashion.  It took about a half for the LSU offense to get into rythym, but once they did, it wall over but the crying for Moo U.

Defensively, LSU didn't appear to skip a beat from last season, forcing seven turnovers, which the offense converted into 38 points.  Craig Steltz led the defensive attack for the Tigers, intecepting three Michael Henig passes.  Up front, Glenn Dorsey led the charge, proving that he will be a force to be reckoned with all season long.  LSU was able to get consistent pressure all night rushing only the front four on the defensive line, which allowed the secondary to blanket State's receivers all night long.

The obvious conern is definitely the play of the offensive line.  Matt Flynn did not have much time to throw, and rarely was LSU in any kind of rythym on offense.  However, it seemed that when LSU wanted to, it could move the ball at will, as evidenced by the opening possession of the second half.  All in all, it was a very tuned down version of the LSU offense.

Now for the spin.  I don't know about other LSU fans, but I tend to always look for a silver lining in every game LSU plays, win or lose.  On Thursday night, I truly believe that MSU could not have played any better defensively than what they did in the first half against LSU.  They played inspired football on the defensive side of the ball for a half, and much of the third quarter.  Secondly, as I stated before, the LSU offensive gameplan was very basic Thursday night.  And lastly, it was the opening game of the season on the road against an SEC opponent, all be it against MSU.  I've seen LSU play better in opening games, and I have seen them play worse.  And moreover, no matter how it happened, we beat a conference opponent on the road very easily.

So now there are plenty of people making assumptions and/or predictions about this LSU team and whether or not the Tigers will be in the BCS picure at the end of the season.  Had our defense struggled at times last night as well, I would say there could be a reason to be skeptical.  However, this defense is lights out and will continue to be throughout the season.  They will continue to put this offense in excellent situations, and this offense will also gel as the season progresses.

All this being said, there is still plenty of room for improvement heading into week 2 against the Hokies of Virginia Tech.  I like having the two extra days to prep for the Hokies, and I like the fact that kickoff is at 8:15.  The stadium will be electric on Saturday with plenty of storylines to feed the fire.  I can't wait!!!

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!
