How are these guys? I've seen some comments that they are weak.

I can't imagine they are THAT weak if they were able to win the SEC East

If they are in fact weak then I see this being an LSU blow out. Our D-line is known to take over in big games (see Alabama and Oregon)

UGA supposedly runs the ball well and stops the run well. However, Arky supposedly was the best aerial attack we'd seen all year and you see how that worked out for them.

Im not worried about UGA.

Hard to say based on competition

But closest in terms of athletic ability to LSU's DL is prolly Florida.

UGA beat UF 24-20, gave up 3 sacks, Murray passed for about 170 2 TD 1 int, they ran for about 180 (Murray ran several times mostly scrambles)

They are the biggest OL in the country and bigger than all NFL OL's. That said, they are not that athletic and have been suspect in quite a few games this year.

Powerman,

During the Arky game, there was a stat they showed on the number of knockdowns received by SEC QB's this year.

Wilson from Arky was #1 with 69 (at that time, LSU added a lot to it, of course)

Murray was second in the high 50's. Don't remember the number....

So...

They got blown up by Boise State. Supposedly they have improved since then but they haven't had many quality opponents to prove this.
