Game Day: LSU vs. Troy 6pm on ESPNU

[GREG]

LSU will play for their 50th straight non-conference home win tonight when Troy comes to Tiger Stadium.

What's y'alls prediction for the game?

I'm guessing around 400 total yards of offense and a 31-20 type score. Troy returns several offensive players from last year, and the last time these two teams met in Death Valley, LSU needed an epic 4th qtr. come from behind victory.

 

[GREG]

LSU lost a 24-21 decision on homecoming night to Troy. The loss ends the streak of 49 straight OOC home wins which dates back to 2000. Last nights loss puts LSU at 3-2 in their 1st 5 games of the 2017 season.

I am not sure what the answer is, but it would seem the NFL exodus, attrition, transfers/dismissals, injuries, lack of depth, and inexperience might be too much for this coaching to overcome this season. The real possibility of 0'fer in SEC play could rear it's ugly head for LSU this season.

What's y'alls opinions of the issues facing LSU this season? Is it coach O, Canada, Aranda, a mixture of all of them, lack of want on the players part, or has the team just given up?
