With the UGA offense limited, especially in the first half, it will be imperative for LSU to build a lead then.

I can UGA selling out on defense to try to make plays. LSU can use their aggressiveness to its advantage. Burrow will need to look off receivers and use pump fakes to get the safeties to commit. Once he does that, it'll be like piranha fishing with a side of beef.

As long as the Tigers take care of the ball, they will win and win big.

Not necessarily
I remember in 2011 LSU fell behind early 10-0 before momentum turning plays by special teams and defense

The key is playing a clean game.
You can't have turnovers.
Winning the field position game is a must too.

I have a novel idea... lets let this team do what they've done well all season.

Ummm...has there ever been a situation in which you'd have suggested "please don't score quickly! We need to avoid building an early lead!"?


I mean...ever? At any level? in any sport?

UGA will need to "weather the storm" early on and hope they can establish the running game to keep the ball out of Burrow's hands.

Turnovers will be critical. I think you're right. It's all or nothing for UGA, so they'll be willing to take lots of defensive risks to try and create them. UGA will need at least 3 turnovers to win this game (preferably in LSU territory).

If they can keep the game close going into halftime, they've got a shot. UGA has lots of defensive depth, especially on the d-line.

I'm not so sure this is a good strategy for Georgia. I think they should predominately try to keep things in front of them and tackle well. Make Burrow dink and dunk down the field. They are going to get burnt if they are too aggressive.

UGA will, no doubt, try to run the ball first. It will be imperative that we stack the box and force them to throw, hoping our DB’s can handle one on one coverage. Their offensive line is the best part of their offense and establishing the run will keep burrow off the field. We need to start out stuffing the run to show them that they will have to pass to win and we all know they can’t win games that way.

Fromm has proven over and over he can't carry a team. Hell, we could probably put 11 in the box and leave receivers uncovered, and he'd barely crack 50 percent.

This year’s team is the complete opposite of 2011. Our offense provides most of the game changing plays now.

If we get out to a 10-14 point lead early it puts pressure on Georgia to become one dimensional which is worst case scenario for them with that pedestrian passing attack and their WR injuries.

When teams come back on us, its in the 3rd quarter. I think we need to score early in the 3rd. I don't care what the score is. First drive of the 3rd is important. We go 3-out a lot on first drive of the 3rd.
