I don't care whether you have a history or not. It's obvious what you're doing with this post and frankly it's a waste of breath.

If LSU executes they win this game and do so handily. UF isn't Bama.

LSU has been up big on teams and has gone conservative (which has allowed some teams to come back and make games closer), but hasn't kept the pedal to the metal. I disagree that if LSU can't run the ball successfully (likely), and if the game is in jeopardy, that they will not pass for more than 213 yards.

However, disregarding level of competition and closeness of games, among several other variables that make it impossible to compare apples to apples, and taking your stat projections as gospel, LSU is still the more efficient offense by far. LSU scores .093 points per yard of offense, 50% more than Florida who scores .063 points per yard of offense.

If both teams max out by your projections and LSU gets 289 yards while UF gets 391 yards, LSU still wins 26.8 to 24.8 by virtue of being the more efficient offense.

Take into account that this game is at LSU. Add 3 points to LSU's score for the generic home field advantage. Consider that UF's young QB has never played in a hostile environment, and that LSU has arguable the greatest HFA in all of football and 3 seems a little low. Anyway, with just the 3 point HFA, LSU wins by 5, which is nearly the spread.

I think your stats are off, and that the HFA is worth more than 3, so LSU will likely push or beat the spread.

Your stats and narrative tell nothing of the types of offenses and defenses that will be on the field this weekend.

IMO,

Florida will have to bring 5 to pressure LSU passing. Four won't do it without Easley. He is/was that much of a factor. FL Buck defense package is interesting, but GA was only able to get pressure rushing 5 or more defensive players. The end result there was still a lot of points for LSU.

Flordia does not have the same type of offense to keep up. It is a ball control, run oriented type of offense. Their O-line, big and run oriented based, is beat up and a starter or two is out of the game.

Yep you correct because everyone of the teams UF has played so far are way better than LSU!

Toldeo
Miami
Tennessee
Kentucky
Arkansas

Statistics means nothing with that schedule. You should have just saved your time and stopped typing earlier.

Would you have ever thought that we would have put up 59 on Miss St? Look, no one knows how this game could go. I can't wait until Saturday that much I do know

LSU needs to put them away early. I have to be somewhere else by 4:30 so I need to leave at halftime.

The game should be closer than if like, but tigers still too good for this UF team.

Is be more worried if Easley was playing, and also more confident if Driskell was playing.

In the end, home field advantage prevails in a one score win for tigers.

Reality check, what would scare you the most as a coach, facing Fla's defense or LSU's offense, seriously? Miami passed for two quick TD's against the great Fla D and LSU has way more offense than Miami.

Tigers will cruise on offense.
Their D hasn't seen anything like what we have this year.
