Danielson: Officiating key in Baton Rouge

“A key to this football game will be the officials and whether they allow the man-to-man defensive backs for Florida to be physical with the LSU receivers,” Danielson said in a promo sent out for the game. “Will they allow Vernon Hargreaves III and Loucheiz Purifoy to put their hands on the receivers and re-route Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry? That aspect is important in this game because if the officials start calling early ticky-tack penalties, it will take Florida out of that preferred defensive style.”

“LSU is going to face a very athletic pass rush,” Danielson said. “The Tigers were not able to put pressure on Aaron Murray and they paid dearly at the end of that game when the Georgia defense finally started to put some pressure on Zach Mettenberger. This Florida defensive line is superior to Georgia’s and that’s going to be an important part of this game. But sometimes as a quarterback you get the feeling that ‘We’re better than them. We have better play-calling then them. We have better receivers. They are not going to stop us.’ That feeling does permeate the huddle and I’m sure Mettenberger feels that way.”
