I wouldn't be surprised if LSU was favored going into the UGA game if they blowout Allbarn.

But if its a sloppy, close game and UGA blows Marshall out then UGA will probably be favored, especially if they get healthy after the bye week.

But thats certainly not a given seeing how Troy is a lot better than everyone thought they were and they barely beat Marshall and then Marshall almost beat Ohio State on the road.

nope, no matter ... as long as UGA and LSU win....UGA will be favored at home with the green and pollack suckfest. trev alberts is worth 2 points with the general public by himself.

Once again istlstl shows an utter ignorance of things that are outside of his vision...

Did you happen to catch ANY of the USC/UGA late Saturday night?

I sure did...and guess what...Georgia STILL cannot pick up the blitz. Their offensive line is simply befuddled by it...

Also, their little "next Herschel" running back Ware is out this Saturday with a "bruised lung" (Is that a first?), but "may" be healthy for LSU...

So, mine eyes have seen the Glory...and that Glory is that they're still dropping back, and they still can't pick up the blitz, and what's more...they have NO running game...

You're really slipping lately...I mean, I come with points and opinions, and you come up with Monty Python "funny cigarette" crapola? Who wants to read that? This isn't a comedy forum...It's Tiger Forums...Are you going to tell me that I'm incorrect, and that USC didn't pressure the pocket, get after Greene, and make them look basically pedestrian?

You telling me their precious little young RB is going to somehow be not only 100% healthy for LSU, but healthy enough to dominate our defense?

You guys have such a "what have you done or me lately" attitude with your team, it's unreal...After the scoring drive in the 2nd half...We allowed NINE yards...NINE...I mean...I mean, we gave up two big plays, one on an absolutely amazing catch, and one on an offensive pass interference...We give up a fricking field goal...but, one bad game on bad turf with a quarterback crisis and you guys unzip your backs and have your wives/significant others remove your backbones...

Well, take this from someone who has watched the UGA-AU series for nearly 40 years...... Damn Dawgs seem to produce unknown running backs out of the depth chart like Bullwinkle pulls rabbits out of his hat ...... :grin:

not speaking for anyone but myself and my somewhat experience with (non-coke) lines.

UGA being favored if both teams win out has nothing to do with local fans thinking LSU is weak... If we beat AU by 10 or so and UGA wins by a mere TD it wont change who is favored in Athens. UGA will still be, due to a lot of preseason and current media hype, and the issue bettors place on an experienced QB. All will factor into it and on paper UGA will be the perceived value play to many across the country. LSU's struggle week 1 is perceived weakness and so called insight to Joe Public thinking LSU will get hammered. I don't. I think it will be a good game, flip a coin for me.
