UF's run defense is special and Landry seemed hurt at the end of the game. Will be hard for LSU to score as they have been against a great UF D.


Who exactly have they played to base this on? If you say Miami, I'll ask you what you base this on.

Not saying LSU won't have success, but UF will be the best D we have faced all year and points will not be as plentiful.

I think LSU wins, but the D will need to make stops for us as LSU won't score in the 40s this game.

After losing in the swamp last year, LSU's offense has a special motivation for this game. LSU's defense is much better at home. UF's offense is on par with LSU's defense. Tiger stadium has a hatred for the gators. I see LSU winning easily.

There have only been 2 times that LSU has beaten UF easily in the last 20 years.

2002 - LSU 36-7 vs. UF with Ron Zook.
2011 - LSU 44-11 vs. UF in Muschamp's first year with Brissett making his first ever career start after Brantley went down (UF played Bama the week before..)

I'd venture to say its a good prediction that LSU won't win this game "easily".

Funny how one of those times was the last trip to Tiger Stadium for the Gata. LSU makes it happen again. Leeroy Jenkins will be brook trouting all over the field in his first real road test.

And that was after UF got beat up by Alabama, lost its starting QB and starting RB.

People forget Demps got hurt on the opening kickoff against Alabama, and he was never the same the rest of the year.

Not saying that LSU has no shot of blowing out UF, but this is a completely different situation from 2011.

Our QB went down, but our backup has had 3 games to prepare, not to mention already playing on the Road.

Granted TS is much different than CWS, but still.

Even when Brantley came back that season he proved to be a disappointment. His career highlight was the bomb against Bama. . He would have made no difference in TS that year.

UF's current quarterback is average at best. TS will devour him. UF's vaunted defense hasn't played a real offense this year. Miami hasn't proved they are anything but average so you can't say anything about them for proof.

Seriously?

TS may be tough, but this isn't 2011 UF. And look at every game Miami's offense has played, and then look at their production against UF.

Furthermore, everything that you said about UF's defense can easily be said about LSU's offense.

Yall haven't played a defense as close to ours.

I have to say if LSU produces well against this upcoming defense, there ain't no one holding down LSU's offense this year barring extraordinary circumstances.

LSU @ -6.5 won't move much. Gators solid on defense, shaky on offense. LSU the reverse. Death Valley and our passing game the difference.

Other than UF, Miami so far has played.
Florida Atl 2-4
Sav St. 1-4
UFS. 1-4
GT. 3-2. 3 wins over cupcakes.

Not really a basis for making them an offensive juggernaut.
With this said Miami still put 21 on UF. UF struggled moving the ball on Miami.

Someone didn't watch the game or read the box score.

Also, of the 21 points Miami scored. 6 were from an INT returned for a TD. They were held to around 200 yards of total offense. UF beat themselves that day.

I stand corrected. I should have said UF had issues scoring due to offensive miscues. Something LSU fans know all to well for or JJ days. Tiger stadium isn't rookie QB friendly. Like I said Miami isn't exactly an offensive juggernaut yet they scored enough to win. LSU will easily score enough to win.
