A Long Way to Go

After a lackluster effort against a Towson team from Maryland that nobody had ever heard of, things aren't looking very encouraging for the the LSU Tigers football team. Towson was a teat hat Coach Les Miles' Tigers were supposed to easily handle. Towson more than held their own against LSU and the game left many tiger fans thinking g that things could soon get gloomy for the Tigers, especially since they enter SEC play now for the rest of the season. That's right, there are no more weak teams that are scheduled for so called easy wins. the Tigers take a road trip to Gainsville, Florida to play the Florida Gators this coming Saturday. It promises to be a tough contest against a Gators team that is very much improved under their fiery Coach Will Muschamp.

The Tigers passing game is still struggling to get unleashed as the less than impressed announcers on ESPNU kept pointing out that LSU's passing attack ranks out of the top 100 for big time football schools. It's disappointing considering that LSU finally had gotten rid of Jordan Jefferson  and figured to be better with the big Zack Mettenberger nowadays the helm. Now there were a couple of bright things like a big downfield TD pass to Odell Beckham who has clearly become the number one WR target for Mettenberger. The jury however, is still definitely out on whether Mettneberger is the answer to help the Tigers break through and win a national championship that just barely eluded the last year. We'll see what happens at Florida to see what these guys are made of and whether they are worthy of their top five ranking.
