Bandit's Key Matchups: LSU's Offense vs. Auburn's Defense. Is it strength against strength? Or weakness against weakness?
Jarrett passed on Florida at will... 9/11 with a throwaway for 124 yards and 2 TDs. He shouldn't have a problem with Auburn's defense...if he sees the field. IF you're right and we see more Lee than we have...the second we get up by 10+ points, Miles will pull him for JJ and attempt to run out the clock on the ground...meaning run, run, "pass", punt in the fourth quarter. That's the number one thing I'm afraid of, because Auburn can score in a hurry.
Newton describes his mental approach he plays in as "a never, neverland state of mind." Miles, in talking about his strategy for Newton says "he wishes he could have a spy that no one could see." I know it's just Wednesday, but so far, the game is starting to feel kinda stealthy. Can HD pick this stuff up?
I don't care what the talking meatheads say ... LSU's passing game when Lee is in is not weak in the least. I was listening to the dunces on SEC Weekly today, and of course, they had to bring up "the history" of Lee. Never mind what he is doing this year, all they can do is look at 2008 when a young redshirt freshman was forced into a starting position he was not ready for. AND . .they don't mention that he scored a whole hell of lot of points .. .more than JJ did last year. As much as the idiots at ESPN et al., would luv to see Auburn win, and prove that LSU is just a second rate program under the direction of a lunatic with no brains but a nice hat .... I'm thinking they are going to eat crow after this weekend. LSU's offense will show up in form against a crappy defense. To boot, the LSU defense will show up in form against an offense that, while great, is not so good they can just score at will. I'm betting that this game is going to be a "suprise" to lot of the one noodle wonders at ESPN. :geaux:
Lsu's worst enemy is itself. If they can make the proper choices and correct decisions they win. No costly timely penalties , turnovers and completely wasted drives.
