Both teams evenly matched IMO. Talented, but some questions. You're 3 point favorites, when this is supposed to be our worst team in 20 years according to most opinion havers.

quote:
Yeah they got blew out by clemson and loss by 10 to pitt and 10 to Wisconsin. But couldn’t we say the same about LSU who lost to Troy and in the game I watched they ran all over LSU. Also the 30 plus point loss to Mississippi? What about all of that?

Last 3 games of the season depth obviously took a toll on the offense as we were missing our top 3 options, starting tailback coming into the season was out, star receiver was out and a tight end that was drafted in the 4th round who was a focal point in the passing game as well as blocking was out too. We didn’t have the depth to sustain those injuries and still perform at a high level on offense now we do. .

LSU fans often make this same excuse, but on the defensive side, for our embarrassing showings vs. Mississippi State and Troy. We were down to three total interior DL for most of those two games due to injuries/suspensions.

At full strength, both teams have the talent to be excellent, but both teams can be inconsistent, and both teams have some questions.

So all in all nobody knows what will happen but on paper it should be a close game.

I can't fricking wait for this game. I think our front seven is gonna be 2011 good. Maybe even better. The 2011 defense had a RIDICULOUS secondary, the front seven was great as well but this LSU team this year may rival it in terms of talent. Only in the front seven though. Greedy is elite as a corner but that's about all we got at that spot at the moment. Kary Vincent could be an excellent nickel corner in my opinion. Grant Delpit needs to take the next step and he could be an all sec safety.

Bottom line, we'll have one of the best defenses in the country.

DE- Rashard Lawrence (5 star)
NG- Ed (5*), Shelvin (5*), Fehoko (top 50 player)
DE- not sure who's gonna be here
F LB- Divinity (5 star)
MLB 1- Devin White (best lb in the nation)
MLB 2- Jacob Phillip's (5 star)
Buck LB- K. Chaisson (5 star)

Serious talent.
