Big question for this bowl game... "With the national media.

With the national media tearing apart our program, will it light a fire in the arse of this team to come out playing like they want to rip some heads off?

Here are some examples of what was said by Robert Smith, Ed Cunningham and Jesse Palmer on ESPN's Bowl Mania Special.......

EC " Down the stretch LSU was just not that good defensivly.They have a whole bunch of guys that seem like they should be able to play.I just dont think lsu has the disipline and the focus in this game. I think they just want this season to be over.I think geogia tech could roll in this game. "

RS " This year you got two defensive co-ordinators and these guys may be on their way out.Players have had difficulty playing consistantly. Looks like theyve had trouble adjusting to the new co-ordinators.Theres possibly too many chefs spoiling the soup there. "

The Host "First ap national champion to have a losing conference record since 1943. "

EC " I like Georgia tech in this game because of the disaray that Robert talked about. LSU just seems like a place that is not going that well from the high of last year to the low of this year.I think Georgia tech will roll in this one. "

Jessie Palmer picks Georgia tech to win easily.He has this game as one of his highest confidence picks of the Bowl Mania.
