First, this message board is awesome. Great sense of humor and decent football knowledge.

As usual, your D-line is for real. Montgomery and Barkevious Mingo (All SEC Name team) should tear apart our tackles. Rumor is we may be starting a true freshman at tackle as our 5th year senior is a turnstile. However, I have not heard about your LB's and secondary. Are they any good? May not matter, b/c our WR's are pedestrian at best. Our TE, Jordan Reed, is becoming a stud. He will probably get some yards.

Our running game is decent, but I don't think we are as good as our stats show. We get stronger as the game wears on, but I don't feel confident about running the ball this saturday. We only have one back, Gilleslee, that we rely on. After that, our backups play like backups. If you shut down Gilly, it'll get ugly in the swamp.

Our D is solid, but our weakness is your strength. We are not good at stopping the power straight ahead run. Every team, even Bowling Green, could get 5-6 yards on us. We are good on pass D. Although we don't have a lot of sacks, we do get pressure on the QB. How's your O-line? Our linebackers are for real, and we are getting Jelani Jenkins back. Our safeties are solid, and I think we will probably get a pick or two.

FWIW, our kicker will be an all american. In a slugfest, like I predict, it could be important. However, in the end, I think your d will do enough to carry the game. It'll be ugly, with lots of punts. Kills me, but I think LSU wins 21-13.

Any insight on LSU: injuries, strengths/weaknesses that could influence the game?

If this is your weakness, prepare for a looooooong afternoon.

Enjoy seeing Jelani Jenkins back on the field while you can because JC Copeland is gonna kill him.

Best Florida offensive player, hands down.

I see an ugly, mistake and penalty heavy game, with your home crowd keeping your guys in it for most of the game. I think ya'll get a late field goal to go up a couple of points, forcing us to have a 4th quarter comeback under Mett.

Strengths= plenty
Weaknesses= daydreaming and sleepwalking.

Maybe Driskel's legs extending plays, if he doesn't get hurt doing it.

If this is remotely true then I should put some money on this game.

Of course this could be the game that Les decides to air it out and go to misdirection. Les will be Les.

works for me. I predict 28-10. Gator Fans know they are on the way back up and LSU fans who aren't 19 yrs old know this too.

I think that's a bit negative.

UF matches up better with LSU than at any point in the last 2 years.

Still, UF hasn't been too strong against the power run so far this year, and LSU does have the players to beat them deep in single coverage.

Should be close, but I think Florida settles for FG's and loses a close one.

Stack the box and you'll be fine. Auburn is even worse than yall and they stopped us.
