Nick has been quoted as saying the team with the best passing efficiency wins most of the games. LSU blows Ole Miss away on defense in every category. Anybody can pass on them, certainly Mauck can put up yards on these guys. LSU dominates on returns and has a slightly better punter. We sure do need to find a reliable kicker, though. www.ncaa.com
Well, Red stats don't lie in November. LSU will really come after Manning. There are a lot of resemblances between Ole Miss & LALA Tech, if you know what I mean. On paper, LSU should really go in there and tear up Ole Miss. They won't score more than 21 points on us. Same as I predicted for Florida. Will the LSU O show up and score 28? That's the question.
