Okla. or USC just does not matter not one bit. USC can claim whatever they want and so can OKLA. LSU will beat OU. They will win because of superior defense,coaching, offense, special teams,and team character. USC is not even CAL. state champs so who cares about USC . They are adecent team in a very weak league.LSU will be NC. , bottom line. The rest of the country can just deal with it.
i'll agree with superior defense, special teams, and team character OU probably has the edge in offense and *maybe* coaching if Saban isn't the best coach in college, Stoops sure the hell is
I am not convinced about the offense going in OU's favor. I look at the last 7 games in which LSU is averaging nearly 460 ypg and 235 ypg rushing. This is comparable to OU's stats for the whole year. And this was the hardest part of LSU's schedule in which these stats were posted. Going into this game, I say it's a draw. LSU is much stronger running the ball, and that is most important facet since the blitzing against the QBs is inevitiable from both teams. I would say the defenses were even before last weeks' games. But LSU played a comparable offense (GA) vs. OU's opponent (K-State) and we saw the results. 519 yards vs. 249 yards. Decided edge to LSU now. Coaching is a draw. Special teams slight edge to LSU with return team and coverage team, although kicking game goes to OU. however).
LSU's O has stepped up and started playing like they should after the FL game. I think our discovery of our FR RBs has alot to do with it too.
Coaching is definitely even. The two brightest head coaches will be opposite each other on the 4th...
Yeah ... I agree ... Coaching is even Defensive Coordinator ... Muschamp vs. ............ hmmmmmmmm ........... what's his name? You know .... the one that wore his azz for a hat last week.
Are you a fan of That 70's Show? I dont often hear people use the ass for a hat phrase. Have they named a new DC? Im not sure who is running the D.
No, I'm a Clint Eastwood fan ... and the OU DEE is on autopilot ... with one wing ripped off and the plane in a tailspin I was being sarcastic regarding the coaching situation ... OU is scrambling ... BIG ADVANTAGE LSU
