If mett was playing we would beat Iowa but since Jenning's playing we will crush them. LSU about to beat Iowa so bad that Jarvis, La'el and Ego will come back to school. We will be ranked in the top 5 in the country in the preseason polls all because of Jennings and 5 quarters of play. DON'T BELIEVE ME JUST WATCH!!

NO WAY AJ or anyone else can live up to the Expectations on This Board for this Game.

I don't know how they will prepare him, or what the game plan will look like. My guess is they will put in a fairly conservative game plan that has plenty of run, and some run/pass mix to keep him in favorable positions. I think he will look very poised (for his experience level), as he has up to this point, make some nice throws and runs,and turn in a solid performance.

I couldn't agree more.
Lots of romanticism going on in regard to AJ and his performance in this bowl game, but in the end I would look for LSU to really work to leverage their proven play makers (2 RB, 2 WR) against Iowa's defense.
To craft a role for AJ that leans on option and running would be a disservice to the offense.
You'd be asking the other 10 to take on roles that they haven't been asked to execute for the entire season (namely, blocking down field for a running QB), and the nasty side of that would be when he does break the pocket and starts running he would effectively be on his own and at high risk.
I, for one, wouldn't be in such a hurry to see his athleticism on the field - given that LSU is going to have only 12 practices prior to the bowl game. Rather, he needs to fit into what the team does best - run between the tackles, grind it out, pop a pass as it is necessitated or advantageous.
When was the last time AJ took multiple full-on hits from college-level players over the course of 60 minutes? When was the last time he started and played a full game in which he didn't step off a yellow bus?
I guess if I were LSU I'd prefer a heavy dose of the proven 235lb RB and outstanding WRs against a top 10 defense and see what happens. Iowa will be more than happy to play that kind of ball control game; remember, Iowa is the team that won 6-4 @ Penn State after, being up 6-2, walked their punter out of the end zone, kicked off to PSU and hung the game on their defense's shoulders.
Finally, you've got two Michigan men in Les Miles and Cam Cameron who will gladly play in a brawl with Iowa.
