    JMO, but i don't think LSU should "fear" UGA at all, but there is reason for concern. Georgia can run the football and Stacy searles has done a magnificent job with their young OL. That unit has really matured well over the past 5 games.

    Given the yardage that Ole Miss racked up on the LSU (which was a shock to me) , there should be concern, but not fear. Just my $0.02 ....

    At this point in the season, we should fear every team...Anything can happen, so I think that should be enough reason to fear Georgia...Plus, it would be a home game for them.

    Fear may not be the right word. Concern maybe which is why the Tigers need to focus internally and not so much on JawJaw.

    Here's the points scored by opponents against LSU this season. 0, 7, 0, 16, 9, 24, 43, 24, 34, 10, 24. Upward trend overall.

    LSU's yards receiving are increasing everygame meaning ya'll are having to play catch up or at least hang in. Sacks against opponents are relatively flat however here's what sacks against LSU look like (SEC opponents only here).

    3-19, 1-6, 0, 3-15, 2-18, 3-19, 3-25. Another upward trend. More throwing, more pressure on Flynn, more sacks...........more INT's? Oline has to be really good this week.

    LSU's SEC opponent Rushing Yards: 10, 17, 156, 125, 97, 20, 201.

    LSU's SEC opponent Rec Yards: 136, 244, 158, 250, 199, 234, 265.

    Draw your own conclusions but Bama had the high INT count against LSU with 3 INT's. Georgia's gameplan has got to be pressure up front, get after Flynn early, stop the rush and force LSU to throw. Regardless, the trends overall are going the opposite direction than a team would like at this point in the season and with 2 conference opponents on the schedule.

    Somebody help me remember what happened the last time we played a highly ranked Georgia team in the SEC Championship Game.

    Oh, never mind, I have it now. :champs: :crystal:
