It is imperative that LSU win and look good doing so.

All the comments about it being just an exhibition and we don't need to dominate Wisconsin are nonsense.

We need to show big improvement on defense against Wisconsin, especially if there are little to no changes coming to the coaching staff. If we don't show significant improvement on defense, it will be a sign that Kelly is not sure what to do to make those improvements. It will also discourage any portal prospects in the spring if Kelly does not demonstrate that he can get a grip defensively.

Offensively, Nussmeier needs to show big promise. The offense better score and score often, otherwise we will enter the off-season with a lot of doubt about next year. After the fiasco on defense this year, LSU football needs all the reasons for confidence that it can get.

Serious football programs take every game seriously. Like it or not, this game is going to say a lot about where LSU football is headed.

It really isn’t. No kid is going to determine where they go based on any bowl game that isn’t playoffs. If anything it’s going to showcase where a kid is needed with this being a winter version of a spring game.

Lol.
Far less imperative than the previous 12 games.

The same people pretending that this game against Wisconsin doesn't matter will absolutely melt if we lose. It matters because it's an LSU football game.

We are a double-digit favorite. Kelly already lost once as a double-digit favorite against A&M in College Station last season. Making a habit of doing so is not elite.

No it won't. Like it or not this team will not be the 2024 lsu team. How do you people not get that.

With opt-outs by most teams the bowl games really don't mean much unless you're in the playoffs.

Wouldn’t the defense sucking be more attractive for portal guys? It means plenty of opportunities to play and pass up our scrubs

You didn’t hear?

Bo Davis is taking the DL job with incentive to become the next DC if and when House is gone. Just waiting until after Texas gets beat by Washington for it to be official.


Book it. Bo Davis is coming home

Tell the self centered QB that used his teammates to win a Heisman then bolted on them this very thing.

I heard the same against Purdue. We won by a large margin and it didn’t mean diddly

You’re expecting to see big changes on defense despite the fact that we have not changed anything about the defense yet? If you see no changes during this bowl game and Kelly guts the whole staff in the spring, you’d still think this game was somehow significant?

That makes no sense.

Nuss is going to start next year regardless of if he throws 6 TD's or 0 TD's in this game. The staff is all in on him.

Why would anyone think we will see an improved defense Monday?

No one gives a shite about bowl games. It's just a fun week if you are not in the playoff
