LSU 41
NC 10

The offense will notch 17 points from short field situations (3 turnovers). Apart from these, they won't have many long sustained drives, but they will manage another 13 points (30 total). They'll turn the ball over once, but the defense shuts UNC down without allowing any points. The defense simply owns the first half giving up only 5 first downs, and beating the snot out of the UNC QB. UNC is only able to start moving the ball in the second half when the D shifts to bend-but-don't-break mode. With time running down they start passing heavily, but the UNC QB takes one sack too many (PP on the corner blitz) and leaves the game. UNC will tack on a meaningless late TD with the D in prevent mode.

Final score LSU 30 UNC 20.

The LSU offensive stats look pretty plain. Jefferson has a decent completion percentage, but the yardage seems on the low side, with one TD and one int. But the running game looks rather good with close to 200 yards. The UNC offensive stats don't look much different, except for the low completion percentage and yardage, the slightly low first down total, and a slightly lower rushing total. It's a comfortable win. Positigers will talk about 1) how awesome the D looked in the first half, 2) how sharp the red zone offense looked, and 3) that all of our running backs are beasts. Negatigers will 1) complain about "3rd an Chavis", 2) Complain about how shifting to the "bend-but-don't-break" defense nearly cost us the game, and 3) State that Patrick Peterson is a beast. Most will agree that the line looked okay.

Lsu 45,who ever shows up today,3!

Bump to look at all the score predictions.
