Biggers concern is that UF Defense is actually pretty good even if they are down a few guys. They can defend the run. LSU has faced 3 really good Defensive teams this season and hasn't fared well against none of them.

If LSU can run like it did agaisnt Piss or Arky forget it; but if not this will be a battle for 60 minutes.

I'm a tad worried about overconfidence.

This ain't gonna be easy. UF is playing for the East. There are some hard feelings after the Foley escapade. Bring it Tigers

Florida is a highly competent SEC opponent. Anyone thinking that they will show up and be afraid to play us is an idiot. They will play very hard. If we turn the ball over and give them good field position, the result could be bad. If for some reason, we revert to our Alabama game plan because we respect the Gator defense too much, then we could struggle.

Nevertheless, I am more confident that we win than I am pessimistic that we will lose.

Take a look at Florida's schedule. Not a single team they've played is ranked in the Top 25.

The only common opponents LSU and Florida have played is Arkansas and Missouri. We all know and have discussed the Arkansas comparison. Florida beat Missouri 40 - 14 and LSU beat Missouri 42 - 7. That was coach O's first game as a head coach and the Aranda Defense is significantly better now than it was on October 1st.

They will be scared on offense, I guess I'm an idiot in your eyes. I almost called the arky game to the tee, 35-14 while everyone else thought Miles was still on the sideline I knew better. This game will be simular to arky game, defense will dominate them into submission. Defense will eventually give in, close for the first half unless we break through earlier which could happen. 42-13 tigers.

Not taking away from Florida's D but their schedule has been "FAVORABLE" for them to put up some great defensive stats. They played 5 scoring offenses that are ranked below 100. The ONE top 50 offense they played, UT(42) put 38 on them and close to 500 yards offense. Arky(63) put up 31points and 466 yards. On the other hand LSU has played 4 top 50 offenses with the worst being Whisky(83). LSU has held every single offense they've played below 21 points. Furthermore, all but MSU (8.2 below their scoring average) were held below their scoring average by more than 10 points and average scoring disparity for opponents facing LSU is 18 points below their average.
