re: Early thoughts on LSU vs Wisconsin

quote:

---

Offense..they will return a ton of good backs, probably have an above average offensive line, and lost most of their WR corp to graduation.

True. You could also say that Wisconsin fans have mixed feelings about their returning QB, Joel Stave, because he throws a lot of INTs.

quote:

---

Defense..The front seven was decimated by attrition and the secondary returns some experienced guys who don't seem to have been all that good last year.

---

True. But this is deceptive because, like most major teams, a lot of their new defensive starters have plenty of playing experience.

quote:

---

Fairly certain both teams will load the box to stop the run so whoever can exploit that better will have a definite advantage.

---

True. Without a doubt, both teams are going to try to run the ball first.

One huge advantage LSU should have is pure team speed.

What LSU has are several X factors at the skilled positions. Our play at QB, RB, and WR will make or break LSU's day. Personally, I expect to see some mistakes at these positions, but I also expect the talent to rise up and win the game in the end.
