    Scout.com: 2009 SEC Fearless Predictions - Week 6

    " If the 2009 Florida Gators want to be in the discussion among the best teams to ever play college football, it’s time to flex some muscle and it’s time to do some stomping.

    LSU is 5-0 and is 3-0 in SEC play. Ranked No. 4 in the country, it has its national title destination in its own hands. But... there has to be some improvements. Major improvements.

    Why Florida might win: The LSU defensive front has been awful. Fortunately for him [tebow], he has the speed around him in the backfield to make the nation’s No. 1 running game produce, and he has the line in front of him to dominate the struggling Tiger line.

    Why LSU might win: The secondary has been excellent.... If Tennessee can make the Florida offense, with a healthy Tebow, one dimensional, then so can LSU. Troy quarterback Levi Brown has been on a hot streak, but he’s not an elite player. He’s the best quarterback Florida has faced so far, meaning …

    Who to watch: … Jordan Jefferson, you’re up.

    What will happen: Florida will be Florida, and it will be because of the defense. ... this game is on the shoulders of Brandon Spikes and a lightning-fast Gator D that will keep the inconsistent LSU running game under wraps and will pick off Jefferson three times.
    CFN Prediction: Florida 26 … LSU 16 "

    :huh: pretty bold prediction, considering he has only thrown 3 career, 1 was tipped, 1 was like a punt so who cares, and 1 mattered last weekend.

    Seems that way until we play pure zone...like on many 3rd downs. But overall, the secondary has been money.

    Predictions are just that… Predictions. They are only worth the paper they are printed on. In this case, the screen… Oh never mind…

    I can see UF winning by 14

    I can see LSU winning by 10

    I can see UF stuffing the DL forcing JJ to beat you. Does JJ then struggle? Can JoJo hang onto the ball this week?

    I can see LSU’s DL gelling and stopping the run forcing Tebow and/or Brantley to beat us with their arm. I can see PP, Coleman, CJ and Sheppard stepping their game up and winning that battle.

    Turnovers?

    Special teams?

    It is impossible to predict how 18-21 year old kids will react and perform in this pressure cooker. The good news is we get to witness it in our back yard.

    I know both teams are very talented, well coached and will fight till the end and never quit.

    What more can you ask for? How much longer till Saturday Night?

    These guys are in the entertainment business, folks. The game is Saturday prime-time on CBS. CBSsports.com is pimping the game, stirring up interest, making it look as large as they can so everyone on ESPN switches over.

    if you aren't watching this game either you are working and can't physically do it, your favorite team is playing at the same exact time. Anyone else who isn't watching, shame on you, this is the game of the decade.
