re: Gillislee vs Lattimore

Lattimore is a beast, but I have a lingering suspicion that So. Car is a bit over rated on Offense.. Before you start flaming, hear me out...
So. Car is ranked #47 in Rush Offense and #71 in Pass Offense. Both are serviceable numbers when combined with their incredible defense and special teams, but they haven't faced anything like what they are about to go up against in LSU.
So. Car has only played two rushing defenses in the top 50 all year and when they did, their averages dropped back to near human levels:
East Carolina (#48 Rush Def) 34 Rushes 131 Yards 3.9 Avg 1 Fumble Lost
Missouri (#19 Rush Def) 39 Rushes 144 Yards 3.7 Avg 2 Fumbles Lost
LSU is ranked #3 in Total Defense and #14 in Rush Def. LSU is also #2 in Pass Defense and #2 in Pass Efficiency Defense.
My favorite stat going into this weekend is that LSU is averaging an interception every 17.7 passes.
Keep your heads up guys. We have an incredible D! As long as we don't force them to withstand 70 plays this week, they will definitely keep us in this one.

Very true statement and what worries me most about this game. For all their hubris, UGA's defense isn't that great.
Watching tape on LSU, you're D-line in lockdown vs the inside run. However, the weak spot for the tigers is stopping the run to the outside. This was seen with Gillislee last week vs Fla and to a lesser extent vs Albarn. The reason I posted the stuff I did about CS, is that he's very quick to the outside. I don't think he pops a long one a la Missou, but he eats up defenses on 3,4,5 yard gains. He gets just enough to move the sticks. But he does it consistently. It's a bit deceptive as it doesn't clearly define itself in the stats, but it's how Spurrier runs his offense these days.
