I'm still thinking it'll be a shorter game with a lot of running. BYU 17 - LSU 14


It'll be a lot of running alright, BYUs defense running sideline to sideline chasing our RBs and then as soon as they do Chark, Dillion, or Gage will burn em for 60. Sorry but this isn't going to be the same ole physical match that BYU thinks it will be. There will be some physicality but not the type BYU fans are thinking about.

The offense will not JUST line up and take their manhood away. Their safeties, corners, DL, and LBrs will have to diagnose plays quickly, then find the ball, while getting ate up by some of the SECs best OLman/TEs/FBs, all while trying to run with our athletes all over the field. I really don't think that they know what's coming.

I don't even have time to mention our defense vs their offense. I'll just put it simply, if BYU can't run the ball, they will have a rough day, especially Mangum. How tall is he anyway? Even if we can't get a pass rush which I can't see, but may happen, he will still have to find a way to get the ball over our tall athletes arms going up as he throws. This isn't going to be an easy game for BYU. Not saying it will for LSU either but the odds are, if the game is easy for anyone, it will be the Tigers.

Mistakes, TOs, penalties can hold any team back in any game so you never know. I just have a feeling that LSU is going to come out fast, determined, and strong on the first drive to show or prove that this offense is now run by a new guy and he puts a premium on TDs, not FGs.

I'm sure Canada is WELL aware of their red zone defense, he's also well aware that ours needs to improve in that area. I think that was his main focus since he's gotten here so we'll see what gives. Also this notion that BYU has an advantage over LSU bc they play a game, while I agree to some extent, LSU also has an advantage in how we are focused on BYU only. They have to focus on (1) other team before LSU which gives BYU (1) week to prepare for LSU. LSU has how ever many weeks leading up to prepare for BYU. Wash IMO. GT
