What is everyone's GUT feeling about the UF game?

I think that like Tulane, Florida will slow down our defense with a few tricks and a lot of misdirection. I still think our defense will be up to the challenge and overcome that. Our offense will come out focused like we did in the second half against Tulane, but running against Florida won't be as easy. Florida may try to put pressure on Flynn, so I hope we can hit some quick passes to make them change their mind on that tactic.

Ultimately I think it will be a whale of a game but I think we have a very good chance at coming out on top if we play our game. I have a lot of faith in Pelini.

 

My gut is that we have a better overall team, especially on defense.

I am concerned that Matt has struggled since hurting his ankle, and I am really concerned if Early can't go. LaFell will have to make the catches he missed against Tulane. I am concerned with the o-line play against a real defense. I like our running game, its better than last season as I thought it would be.

I think Tebow is the real deal and a dangerous customer. He'll get his yards on us. I think we'll bend but not break too often.

I see this 28-21 LSU.

 

Idiot Juice is my loving nickname for their, to use Miles' words, "rock'em sock 'em QB" Tebow. The way he plays, especially against us last year, is like he just chugs a bunch of idiot juice and runs into/over players. His reckless disregard in running (moreso last year) earned him the nickname.

 

It's time fo some revenge, remember 2006 !!! :geauxtige

 

If Flynn had confidence in his ankle and could move around at all, I'd say the Tigers would win comfortably.

But the Tiger playbook has been pared down drastically for the gimpy Flynn, and good defenses can blitz him on every down. It doesn't help that Early is out and LaFell has a bad achilles, so the wideouts aren't getting consistent separation.

Turnovers will tell the story. And the past two weeks LSU has been LUCKY in that department.

I sense the Tigers' luck may be about to run out.

Let's hope the defense plays inspired for 60 minutes.:helmet:

 

My "gut" feeling is that we were over-looking Tulane this week in anticipation of playing Florida.

I think our guys have been looking forward to this rematch vs the Gators because of the way we played last year (turnovers on special teams deep in our own territory, allowing Tebow to run a little too effectively, etc.).

Florida's loss to Auburn yesterday will probably light a fire under them, and I'm sure they'll be playing with a sense of urgency where otherwise they might not have.

I think it's going to be a very close game. Hopefully, playing back in Tiger Stadium will help our O-line FOCUS a lot better than they did yesterday (mental mistakes by our O-line were plentiful and TERRIBLE yesterday).

I think Florida will complete a few big plays (>25 yards) to keep the game close for 4/5th's of the game but we pull ahead to win, something like 21-16.

 

I agree. If Flynn were healthy, I would say he would be the starter, but in our "make-or-break" game, we can't afford to get ourselves in trouble by not being able to move the ball and give Florida short fields to work with early in the game.

 

Without a doubt, and it's been said by some of the players. There were also comments about waking up at SIX O'CLOCK a.m. to play football. We'll come out ready and win by 14 points.....that's my gut feeling, anyway. Won't be an easy game though.

 

The Tigers were bound to have a let-down game this year at some point - this was it. Miles has a useful reference point to keep them motivated and focused for the rest of the season. Florida is overrated and our defense is not - they are for real.

It's going to be a fun game to watch. I think we'll win with surprising ease after a tough first half.
