Gators scoff at LSU lighting up scoreboard

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The Florida Gators expect something closer to a shutout than a shootout when they visit No. 10 LSU on Saturday.
The Tigers (5-1, 2-1 SEC), led by quarterback Zach Mettenberger, are averaging 45 points and 489 yards a game this season.
"We're not going to allow ourselves to let that happen," Florida defensive tackle Darious Cummings said.
No. 17 Florida (4-1, 3-0), meanwhile, hasn't given up 21 points in any of its last 13 league games.
"I don't think anybody in the country is playing better defense than we are," Cummings said. "We haven't even reached our max yet, so I feel we just have that relentless effort and we're not taking no for an answer. We get challenged week in and week out to be the best."
Mettenberger, under the tutelage of new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, has thrown for 1,738 yards and 15 touchdowns, the most through the first six games in school history.
"He's more accurate with the ball," Florida coach Will Muschamp said. "I think he's got a better understanding in the passing game. Everybody matures as different ages. I know we're all in an instant-coffee society, where we want it right now, and that's not always the way it is."
The Tigers have scored 100 points the last two games: 41 in a loss at Georgia and 59 in a victory at Mississippi. Mettenberger completed 73 percent of his passes for 712 yards in those outings, with five touchdowns and an interception.
The Gators boast one of the deepest secondaries in the country, and it has benefited from defensive linemen putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
"That's kind of been our identity, coming after the quarterback, getting after him, getting hits on the quarterback, pressuring the quarterback, making him make bad decisions," Ronald Powell said. "That's kind of like what we do. That's what we want to do. We want to play physical and force our will on people."
Gloves off...

Can't stop the dual threatenberger! No but really. Florida has it coming.

Heismanberger's got this shite. We WILL need our O-line to step it up, however.

Louisville seems to have lit their asses up pretty well.

We ain't Toledo, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arky.

I'm sure LSUs offense is equally confident, should be one hell of a showdown. If that was LSUs defense I would want them to have that kind of confidence and swag.

Who thought LSU was gonna score 50?

All good defenses have one fail week in them. This will be their week. They won't be able to do what they want with their front seven and will have to stack the box. That front seven hides the secondary a bit and we are going to expose them.

I hate frickin scoffers, with all their scoffing and whatnot.
I snort in derision at their ill advised scoffiness.

No matter how many times I look at Mett and the LSU offense's stats, they're just amazing.

I hope cam comes with new shite and mixes it up. We need to keep them off balance.

This. Landry and OBJ are beasts, but I still think our TE needs more action so the passing game isn't simply WR routes. If it works all year, however, I don't care.

Cam will get them. TE's and screens destroy a rushing line. Stack the box? Over the top. Man to man? Inside slants and play action.
Cam is a man among boys when it comes to NCAA coaches.

I think the FBs will combine for 5 catches 75 yards this week and pick up a couple huge first downs to keep the chains moving.
