Say what?

So I'm listening to Charlie Weis' Notre Dame news conference today and Weis is asked if LSU is comparable to any team the Irish have faced.

Weis says LSU's defense reminds him of Tennessee's defense from last year. Now, that's not exactly the greatest compliment in the world since the Vols had a losing season last year.

And then on offense, Weis removes JaMarcus Russell from the equation, and says the Tigers remind him of Michigan State.

Michigan State?

Look, LSU may be overrated at No.4 in the country. But Michigan State? A mediocre Big Ten that fired its coach? Please.

So now I'm wondering if Weis is trying to play a mind game or if he really doesn't think that highly of LSU.
