Ga and LSU, by the numbers, against their four common SEC opponents.

This is a total of all four games broken down to a per game average. Both played at Vandy. LSU played at home against Fla, Aub and TAMU. Ga played Fla at Jacksonville but they were the designated home team, at Aub and home for TAMU. They played them all in the same order Vandy, Fla, Aub and TAMU. Also, they both played each team within a 14 to 22 day period. These are offensive/defensive stats only. Besides Vandy scoring 2 defensive scores against LSU, there were no other defensive or special teams scores for/against in any other game. That surprised me.

Note: In parenthesis, I back out Vandy's stats to give a better gauge of strength of teams. Plus, I think we can all agree neither Ga or LSU played this game at the level they played the other 3. I think you will be surprised how close the defensive stats are when you compare just those 3 teams.

With the healthiest Tiger team we've had in a while(especially at D) and a banged up Ga offense, this game might be over early 2nd half.

38-16 Tigers put this one away mid 3rd qtr.
