How Is LSU Going to Beat UCF? This has "trap bowl game" written all over it.

I'm sure you've already down voted me, but this very much seems like a game that we can easily lose. UCF has a good team, a 25 game winning streak, they get no credit, are playing in the Fiesta Bowl, and don't see it as a nothing game.

LSU has everything to lose prestige wise and little to gain. This seems tailor made to be the kind of game we go in flat on and lose.

So, how do we win?

Establish the running game. Pound them from the beginning. If we start driving the ball through the run, they get on their heels and we out physical them from the outset. It changes the mindset.

Establish a pass rush from the beginning. If we can get after the QB, that will throw them off balance.

I know those two things are basic to winning football, but they seem to be needed for this game not just to establish physical dominance, but to get our heads right from the beginning - and to get into their's.

We're more talented, but that talent has to come together and be focused. If we break of a few decent runs at the start of the game, it will set the tone moreso than just throwing the ball downfield will.
