Why worry about fan split?

Look how LSU executed in its 2 biggest road tests, Texas and Alabama. Zero drop off in LSU’s offensive execution (obviously another reason for immense credit to this coaching staff). The only thing that’s really slowed LSU down at all is the bad weather and sloppy conditions against Auburn. But boy, the weather will be beautiful Saturday afternoon.

LSU was outscored 59-38 in the second halves of those games, and Georgia leads the SEC in time of possession.

LSU will have to play a better second half than they did against Texas and Alabama.

UGA has the best defense we will see so far. Our defense has been inconsistent this year. Combine those two facts, and it’s not hard to think UGA could beat us.

For the record, I think the matchup is in our favor. We have too much on offense, and our defense looks healthy and mean. UGA has a great defense but a less than mobile QB and less than impressive offense. D’Andre Swift is great, but I don’t think he can win alone.

They played a great second half in both those games. The fact is that they had double digit leads at halftime. If they do that against Georgia they don’t have to play any better in the second half.

Made no difference against Tennessee in 2001 etc., and the dome was filled with Orange. Or in 03.

25% LSU fans will be just as loud or louder than 75 % leg humpers anyway.

No worries at all.

Each game came down to an onside kick. Second half playcalling and execution is a potential issue, and ahead of the Tigers are probably their three toughest opponents. Reasonable to have concerns.

Texas and Alabama have much better offenses than Georgia. They cannot score at the same pace.

They have the best statistical defense we have faced so far, but probably not the best. I'd argue that at least Auburn and maybe even Florida and Alabama's defenses are better.

As another poster mentioned in a different thread, they've only faced one true SEC starter and that was against Vanderbilt. All else have been backups or even third strings.

It will be very loud in there. UGA wants this game very badly. Their fans will bring it, rather than sitting this one out like many LSU fans are doing.

Yep, it’s certainly reasonable to be concerned when we’re playing top 4 teams the rest of the way.

I thinK UGA has a more well rounded defense. They solid across the board and make a great unit. Auburn has that monster front while Florida has a better secondary. UGA is just better every where.

Maybe. But they still dominated SEC talent. With that said, NO ONE has done what LSU had offensively. So, we’ll see.

Where are you getting that info from? Every ticket for sale I've seen on the Exchange has been sold.

LSU has been out-manned in the stands every time in Atlanta.

LSU is 4-1 in the SECCG and 3-0 when I attend. So, relax. I fly out tonight.

I know several UGA fans that bought tickets from LSU fans on the ticket exchange.

I mean what would be weird is if LSU didn't have basically a home game at the Dome for the NC. Then you could say something about LSU fans.

Of course, but you would still rather it be close to an even split than not.

Or what? We’re gonna lose? Go stay over on the PB.

On second thought, scratch that. You’re even more of an idiot over there.
