UGA-LSU will be a better game than people think

Because of the UF game, I know most people probably think UGA is going to waltz into BR now and dominate LSU, but as someone who attended the UGA-Vandy game last night, I wholeheartedly disagree.

Every single intangible I can think of is in LSU's favor.

For starters, it's at LSU. If this game were in Athens, I would agree with the majority that UGA rolls. But it's not. I don't care who you are, playing at LSU is rarely a cakewalk for a visiting team.

LSU will (or at least, should) be pissed and out for bear. On the flip-side, UGA was probably getting themselves all hyped up for a big top-5 match-up. I think LSU's loss to Florida lets their guard down a little bit.

As I said, I was at the UGA-Vandy game last night. And I'm telling you, as a UGA grad, I am not pleased with how this team is carrying themselves. IMO, they are asking to be upset. Sloppy play. Cocky attitudes. 13 penalties for 115 yards. They're riding high on this #2 ranking. It was offensive talent alone that powered them to a big win over an over-matched Vandy squad. Believe it or not, Vandy won the TOP game.

Finally, UGA has not had to play a true 4-quarter game all season long. And they haven't played anyone yet who can play a lick of defense. We have no idea how this UGA team will handle itself in a streetfight. In case you're curious about the last time I felt like this, click here. Spoiler...right before UGA got their arse kicked at Auburn last season.

LSU on the other hand, has already been in a couple of dogfights. They know what it feels like to get punched in the nose, whether they ended up winning or not.

On paper, UGA leaves BR with a win. But we all know "on paper" doesn't mean shite in the SEC.

Here's looking forward to a great game on Saturday.
